Kyung Hee University

Kyung Hee University was founded in 1949. Since its founding, Kyung Hee has pursued the Spirit of "Scholarship and Peace" as well as the founding principle of "creating a civilized world." For the past 67 years, the University has developed remarkably, contributing to the fulfillment of a "cultural world for humanity" as the leader of the future of academics and the creator of common values for humanity. In particular, the past five years have witnessed notable growth and a rise in the University's stature through forward-looking and adventurous endeavors in education, research, public service, and praxis.

With the 70th anniversary in 2019, Kyung Hee University is preparing for a second leap forward while seeking a new paradigm of future university development. It reflects on the fundamental mission of the University and establishes a new vision and goals for becoming a true university of the future. In this new vision for a university that transcends the traditional notion of the university as a mere physical location and the limitations of an exclusive academe, Kyung Hee University will rise to international prestige and develop into an international center of research, education, and praxis. Pursuing "Global Eminence" on a foundation of academic excellence, Kyung Hee University will become an academic community that fulfills its social responsibility by cultivating world citizens with the capacity for communication and public service.
