Since its establishment in 1905, Korea University has advanced to the nation’s finest private university amidst the ordeals of modern and contemporary history in Korea, and it is now making great strides towards becoming a world-class university.

We are now immersed in the age of knowledge popularization represented by artificial intelligence and social network. Equipped with innovative technologies, Edu-tech companies are emerging as new competitors of universities. Now, universities that have created future discourses as the hall of knowledge are becoming less significant and losing their ground accordingly. However, Korea University, which has grown by overcoming countless national and social crises, will inaugurate a new era of university revival by performing its original role and mission.
To this end, Korea University will unceasingly strive to fulfill its social responsibility under the vision of contribution to the future of the nation and humankind. We will create new knowledge through opening and convergence, remove the major field- and department-centered system, and create a curriculum that centers on problem-solving. We will establish a curriculum for each life cycle and build an educational platform using innovative technologies.
2025 marks the 120th anniversary of Korea University. Reflecting upon the history and tradition of Korea University over the past 120 years, we are taking a new step toward a brighter, greater future in the next 120 years.
