Catholic University of Korea

[EduCativ]

The Catholic University of Korea is a private Roman Catholic institution of higher education in South Korea. It was established in 1855 and is the oldest university in South Korea. The Catholic University of Korea operates campuses in Seoul and the neighboring Bucheon City. The university's medical school, considered one of the most prestigious in South Korea, has eight affiliated hospitals in the country's major cities.
The university has been consistently ranked as one of the premier universities in South Korea and has been regarded in national and international university rankings. The Catholic University was ranked 400 - 500 in QS World University Rankings 2016/17.
The university has a policy of "inbound globalization," requiring all freshmen to live in the English language dormitory, which can accommodate 1,200 students and professors. Residents are encouraged to communicate only in English during the program, which usually runs for a whole semester. Following the "inbound globalization" policy, the university is equipped with faculty members with esteemed academic backgrounds, professors, professionals, and researchers from the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada, China, Germany, and Japan.
Our university is facing challenges, including the declining school-age population. Nevertheless, we are ready to meet any challenge to support our university as it trains human resources for the future of Korea. For this, I will always remember Father Maubant, who sent the three students to Macau despite difficulties.
Our students are the future of universities and Korea. As part of national treasury projects, we are currently carrying out the Advancement of College Education(ACE) project and the University for Creative Korea(CK) project. Such projects will enable our university to teach better and educate better.
Our university boasts its liberal arts education. Consequently, while our students become experts in their fields, they learn to care about others and help those in need. Equipped with a moral sense and good values, they know how to acknowledge their fault and forgive others. They also learn to be humble and to know who they are. Meanwhile, they actively communicate with others and value friendship. They are fluent in at least one foreign language, so they are confident anywhere in the world. As they love philosophy, arts, and literature, they understand life's meaning and enjoy their life.
Today's world is characterized by its fierce competition in the context of neoliberalism and materialism. Although we cannot avoid such competition, we can make the world a better place by sharing great values. That is the wisdom we are willing to give to our students.
We aim to reach out to young people who have great potential. Not only do we consider entrance exam results, but our admissions system also looks at community service and other special abilities to seek individuals with talent. As a leader in alternative admissions policies, our school looks within each applicant and stands by our principles of 'human dignity.'
