A true Education Hub in East Asia

Welcome to International Summer Campus (ISC) at Korea University (KU), one of the top research institutions in Korea. ISC is administered by the Office of International Affairs (OIA) and offers a 6-week intensive academic program each year from June to August on the university's main campus in Seoul. Korea University has recently been ranked by The Times as the overall top private institution in Korea.

For more than 100 years, Korea University has been providing academic excellence under the motto, "Liberty, Justice and Truth". Throughout its history, KU has educated many leaders in the past and will continue on with its tireless efforts in the present and future, with the objective of educating not only national but also global leaders. To demonstrate that KU is accomplishing this role in terms of numbers.

In anticipation of KU's 100th anniversary, the university launched the "Global KU" project to elevate the standard of education and life at KU for both Korean and International students. Our mission is to excel in our subject of quality education through inviting professors from the world's leading universities and accommodating for diverse student needs, thereby creating a welcoming and highly motivated international hub for academic dialogue and interchange in the courses offered at Korea University.

I hope you will share our excitement and pride as we continue to expand the depth of knowledge and serve as an international hub for academic excellence in Korea. Please feel free to contact us at any time with further inquiries or reflections regarding the ISC program.

I look forward to seeing you at KU's campus in the summer of 2012.

Best Wishes,
