The Office of International Affairs is the organization leading Keimyung’s internationalization. It provides many international programs like the Exchange Student Program and International Student Exchange Program (ISEP).
• Main Programs
- Exchange Student Program
The Exchange Student Program is a program that exchanges Keimyung’s students with foreign students in universities which have sisterhood relationships with Keimyung University. Selected students study abroad for six months to one year, and the credits received in the foreign university are transferred to Keimyung University. Students can go to 226 sister universities in 46 countries. KMU selects exchange students every March and September. In March, they can apply to English-speaking (America, Europe, ACUCA), German-speaking, Russian-speaking, and Chinese-speaking countries, and in September, they can apply to English-speaking (Europe, Oceania, ISEP, ACUCA), Japanese-speaking, and Spanish-speaking countries.
- Cross-Cultural Awareness Program (CCAP)
The Cross-Cultural Awareness Program is a program to improve understanding about foreign cultures and cultural exchanges. Foreigners on campus or in Korea introduce their countries and cultures to Korean students through this program. The Office of International Affairs recruits Korean Interpretation Volunteers (KIVs) able to speak English, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian every March and September. KIVs are paired with Cultural Exchange Volunteers (CEVs) and visit elementary, middle, and high schools to introduce their cultures to students once or twice each semester.
- Study Abroad Program (SAP)
The Study Abroad Program helps students study abroad with financial support to enhance students’ English speaking level and acquire an international mindset. In May, students in the Colleges of Humanities and International Studies can apply to countries related to their majors and go abroad during summer vacation. Students in other majors also can apply for this program in October and go abroad during the winter vacation.
