During May 23-25, the Office of International Affairs at Konkuk University hosted a study abroad fair for students. The fair consisted of presentations on various programs offered by the office, study abroad experience by other Konkuk students, and introductions to partner institutions by foreign exchange students at the university. Presentations were also given by staff from foreign embassies in Seoul as well as partner institutions.
On May 24, the Office of International Affairs operated a booth in front of the Student Union Building so that students could stop by to pick up brochures and ask questions. Both Korean students who participated in an exchange program and foreign students at Konkuk this semester volunteered at the booth to provide information about their schools and experience.
As of April 2017, KU has partnerships with 505 institutions in 63 countries. Through the partnerships, an increasing number of dual-degree, exchange, and short-term programs are becoming available to both KU and international students. A total of 840 Konkuk students studied abroad in 2016, and 2,342 international students were registered at KU in the spring semester of 2017.
