Kwangwoon University Selected as the 2020 IEQAS Accredited University
Kwangwoon University has been selected as an accredited university with the International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS) administered by the Ministry of Education.
The 'Education Internationalization Competency Certification
System' aims to enhance the international credibility of higher education and
international competitiveness. It is a system certified by the Ministry of
Education. Assessment criteria includes illegal stay rate of international
students, internationalization business plan and infrastructure
(organization/budget), dropout rate, language ability, tuition burden rate,
medical insurance subscription rate, and study and living support for
international students.
In this assessment, our university has obtained
certification by meeting all compulsory criteria, key conditional criteria and
international support index criteria. The certification is valid for two years
until February 2023.
This certification will benefit from the Global Korea
Scholarship (GKS) selection program, the liberalization of the selection of
foreign students, and government financial support projects related to foreign
students, and additional points are also received from
internationalization-related financial support projects such as university
specialization projects. It is announced in the Ministry of Education's
official “Comprehensive Study in Korea System,” which is introduced in 11
languages, and is presented to foreign students and foreign governments as
guidelines for studying abroad.
Kim Ye-ran, Dean of Office of International Affairs, said, “It is the result of the efforts of Kwangwoon University members to increase the competitiveness of university internationalization in the difficult situation caused by COVID-19.” She added, “We will also try to expand exchanges with major universities.”
