Dongguk University was founded on May 8th, 1906 and is based on Buddhism principles which have

established the spiritual world of the Korean people. Following the foundational spirit, the University aims

at making the Buddhist spirit and the Korean culture known worldwide, and further at cultivating persons

of talent with leadership skills, who will devote themselves to realizing ideals of the nation and mankind.

Dongguk University has been one of the oldest and most innovative institutions of higher education in

Korea for 111 years as of 2017. Since it was established, its vision has focused on the future rather

than the past.

Dongguk University is located inside of the four traditional gates of the ancient capital of Seoul. With

campuses in Kyeongju, Ilsan and its main in Seoul, Dongguk University currently enrolls 28,000

students in 21 colleges, 3 professional and 11 special graduate schools. In addition to its educational

facilities, Dongguk University runs western and oriental hospitals in Kyeongju, Ilsan and Bundang. Also,

its Bio-Medi college of pharmacy and oriental medicine is located at the Goyang campus.

As a part of the Institution of International Education, which was opened in 2002 by the International

Programs and Education, the Center for Korean Language Education runs Korean language programs

for students who want to attend a Korean University or Korean graduate school.

There are a total 6 levels of proficiency and the goals of the Center for Korean Language Education

are to teach the Korean language, culture and history to foreigners and Koreans abroad. We are doing

our best to understand Korean and Korean culture through a systematic curriculum to meet students'

various needs with highly qualified teachers who all majored in Korean education, learning materials to

reflect a characteristic of Korean, effective and modern teaching methods and friendly lessons. From

2015, TOPIK level 3 for University entrance qualifications can be replaced by completion of level 4 of

the Korean language course of Dongguk University.

The Institute of International Language provides opportunities to study and understand Korean and

Korean culture to those students who take a regular Korean program by paring up with Korean students

of Dongguk University. Furthermore, exchanges with sister universities all over the world are actively

taking place through Korean education programs for exchange students.
