Operating a Contract-Type Program for International Students in Industry-Academic Cooperation to Grow Together with Local Businesses
“All-Care” from admission to employment - the University
that international students are looking for.
Through the efforts of organizing various
international student projects to ensure a stable study and life, Kwangwoon
University has increased the number of international students by 6-7 times
compared to 4 years earlier, and currently, it has about 1,000 international
students.
Since 2019, Kwangwoon University has been operating
the “All-Care Program,” a brand of support programs for
international students, to help international students settle down on campus.
It includes major classes and Korean language support programs, career support
programs, Oullim program, international student counseling program, and life
adjustment support program. Every year, Kwangwoon provides employment
consulting and special lectures for foreign students. Through the conclusion of
the "Employment Contract-Type Scholarship Industry-Academic Linkage
Agreement" with a large domestic company, Kwangwoon University is operating
an industry-academic linkage program in which students receive external
scholarships from their 3rd-year course and at the same time get a job at the
company. From the second semester of this year, regular courses on employment
for international students will be opened to help foreign students find
employment in Korea and abroad. In the academic unit, a specialized
international student management and support system has been established to
suit the characteristics of each academic unit by appointing a head professor
of foreign students to a department or college where international students are
concentrated.
