Amidst the rapidly changing times, Kangwon National University aspires to pave the way for a new future through innovation and challenges. To this end, we are devoted to creating a student-centered, future-oriented educational environment, producing internationally acclaimed research outcomes, and strengthening cooperation with the local community to contribute to regional innovation and development.

In particular, in response to the era of digital transformation, we emphasize achieving educational innovation through the integration of advanced technology and academia, and cultivating talents with global competitiveness.

Kangwon National University is opening its doors wide for foreign students. As one of the 10 core national universities in Korea, we maintain a high level of quality in education and research, while offering a comprehensive range of majors desired by students. Our dormitory capacity is among the highest in Korea, and KNU is located in the beautiful lakeside city of Chuncheon, which is only 1 hour away from the capital city of Seoul, the center of politics, economy, and culture in Korea. This proximity allows you to enjoy a wide variety of cultural activities. Furthermore, our safe and clean living environment and inexpensive living costs will surely help foreign students live comfortably while studying abroad.

Kangwon National University is dedicated to becoming a “prestigious glocal university, continuously developing with the region through value and knowledge creation.” We deeply appreciate and encourage your lasting support and interest.
