KYUNG HEE UNIVERSITY

Since its inception, Kyung Hee University has endeavored to advance the cause of peace and mutual understanding through excellence in education and an international perspective. In 1984, the "Committee for and Office of International Exchanges(CIE)", now the Center for International Exchanges, was established to promote the international education exchange program for students and faculty members, as well as to coordinate various other international activities at Kyung Hee. The activities of CIE include financial support programs for faculty members for their research abroad, student exchange program, language programs, cultural exchange programs with sister universities, and support for international conference and activities of KHU.

Through the student exchange program, which was initiated in 1991, more than 290 students had opportunities to study at sister universities of Kyung Hee with credits exchanged. The universities with which Kyung Hee maintains exchange agreements include the University of North Carolina at Wilmington(U.S.A), the University of New South Wales(Australia), Nihon University(Japan), Moscow State University(Russia), and Southeast University(P.R. China) among many others.
