PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
• Internationally renowned and globally connected, Hanyang University is one of the top-ranked universities in Seoul. Self-contained within Seoul, the close-knit campus offers plenty of amenities, festivals, excursions, and a buddy program to help you quickly feel included in the friendly and academically focused campus culture.
• When you are ready to venture off campus, explore Seoul on your terms—Hanyang is located on Seoul’s Line 2 subway, which connects the whole city, and makes it easy to take quick outings or spend your day seeing the city. Hanyang is just one stop away from Seongsu-dong, a favorite area for locals and considered the “Brooklyn of Seoul,” with cool pop-up shops, trendy bakeries, and great street food.
• Hanyang offers strong academic options in English in engineering, business, science, architectural design, social sciences, and Korean studies. An ideal fit for STEM majors, Hanyang is also a comprehensive, research institution where students from most majors can find compelling and major-oriented coursework.
• Near campus, wander through Seoul Forest, a large urban park with art installations and butterfly garden, or bike along the Han River, where you can picnic like the locals do.
