Welcome to Konkuk University!

Established in 1946, Konkuk University has long been known for its unwavering commitment to academic excellence and globalization in Korea. Located in Seoul, it is recognized as one of the nation’s fastest-growing private comprehensive universities.
The advantage of the 2009 KU International Summer Program (ISP) is manifold: not only can the students have their credits transferred to the home institutions, but they can also enjoy various special activities that are included as part of the program such as field trips, cultural workshops, end-of-session party and other events. These activities will allow students to learn about Korea as well as meet program participants from other countries for valuable cross-cultural experiences that are not available at home. Students also have an opportunity to join the one-week trip to China and experience the emerging Chinese market.
I encourage you to…
Come and Explore Asia this Summer!
