Keimyung University leads the local community's globalization efforts by holding various foreign language educational programs and administering foreign language tests.
KMU is accepted as the only official test agency of 4 foreign languages in the Yeongnam area. On October 23, KMU revealed that it had been selected as the test agency for TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test), after being selected as the test agency of TORFL (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language) in 2002. Furthermore, KMU was selected as the test agency for German ability tests this October.
KMU is the only university which hosts all three kinds of TORFL in the country. KMU held a Russian ability test for acquisition of Russian citizenship in 2003 and created the Business-Russian Center in Korea, which is the only institution managing a foreign trade-related TORFL.
Also, the Goethe Institut Language Center of Daegu at KMU has held diverse German-related programs and German ability tests since last October. The Goethe Institut has received very good evaluations for giving people a good chance to experience German society, culture, and art which people can’t easily experience in daily life.
