Study at Konkuk University

The philosophy of the late Dr. Yoo Suk-Chang, the founder of Konkuk University, states that "sincerity, fidelity, and righteousness" should act as rules of conduct to serve as the basis of morality and citizenship. Besides this moral goal, Konkuk University has been concentrating its efforts on offering a scientific and technological education, through which the students can become able leaders in contemporary society, while performing their historical tasks.

Home to taekwando and a potential host country for the 2014 Winter Olympics, South Korea offers much in sport for visitors. It is also known for its beautiful temples and other ancient structures. But that's not all there is to experience while in Seoul.
