"Internationalization:" a key strategy for strengthening university competitiveness

Since 2003, Hanyang 카림토토 has taken a proactive step in internalization through exchanges with English-speaking countries with outstanding education environments, including neighboring countries like China or Japan. As a result, Hanyang 카림토토 is continuing active exchange by striking sister school agreements with 510 universities worldwide. This led to Hanyang 카림토토 being ranked first in the nation for attracting the most international students.

The system aims to comprehensively manage international students by offering programs that cover the entire process of attracting international students, assisting academics, supporting employment and starting businesses after graduation, and strengthening alumni networks. As a part of the initiative, Hanyang University offers various programs, such as individual career counseling, global project internship, and Hanyang Job Fair.
