Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) was selected for the ‘international education quality assurance system in 2023’ by the Ministry of Education.

 

As a result of the deliberation by the international education quality assurance committee of the Ministry of education on March 3, Pukyong National University achieved acquiring the accreditation for both academic curriculum and language courses. The effective period is three years from March 2023 to February 2026.

 

The international education quality assurance system, implemented by the Ministry of education, is a system that grants certification after evaluating a university's capacity for internationalization and the level of management of foreign student support.

 

With the illegal stay rate as the basic indicator, the academic curriculum is evaluated with key indicators such as the dropout rate of students, the tuition burden rate of foreign students, the rate of medical insurance coverage, and the certified language proficiency of international students (new students/enrolled students). The language training course is evaluated based on the tuition burden rate, the number of language trainees per class, the rate of medical insurance coverage, and the rate of acquiring Korean language teaching certifications as key indicators.

 

Pukyong National University has been constantly receiving the international education quality assurance system since its first accreditation in 2014 and is recognized as a university that has internationalized education with 1,661 (as of Oct. 2022) foreign students from 71 countries enrolling in degree courses, exchange students, and language courses.

 

With this accreditation, Pukyong National University will receive benefits such as simplification of the visa issuance process for foreign students, e-visa issuance benefits for prospective graduate students, and preferential treatment for participating in the Study in Korea Fair abroad. <Pukyong Today>
