Korea University is a private institution that was founded in 1905. Originally called Bosung College, the university received its current name in 1946. The South Korean university has two campuses – one in Seoul and another in Sejong – located about 80 miles from each other. The Seoul campus is the larger of the two; more than three-quarters of the university’s students study there. Tuition is the same for domestic and international students, and some university- and government-sponsored scholarships are available for non-Korean students. University housing is available, and residences for international students include the CJ International House and the Anam Global House. Foreign students can participate in a buddy program and a language partner program to help them better acclimate to life on campus.The university has undergraduate colleges and graduate schools that offer studies in a variety of subjects, including the liberal arts and sciences. It also has professional graduate schools, such as a law school, business school and school of medicine. The university is affiliated with the Ansan, Guro and Anam hospitals. Korean is the primary language of instruction, though some courses are offered in English. The academic divisions that offer the most English-taught courses are the Division of International Studies and the Korea University Business School. The university’s academic calendar is semester-based. Korea University’s research institutes include the KU Biodefense Research Institute, the Brain and Motivation Research Institute and the Research Institute for Information and Communication Technology.
