About Kyungdong University
Basic information and contact details for Kyungdong University
Kyungdong University (KDU) is a private university situated in northeastern South Korea. Its origins trace back to 1981, evolving from the earlier Sokcho Technical College and later becoming Dong-U College before officially transforming into Kyungdong University in the late 1990s. It quickly expanded and in 2012 merged with Dong-U College under Ministry of Education approval.
The university operates across three distinct campuses: the Global Campus in Goseong and Sokcho cities, the Metropolis Campus in Yangju City, and the Medical Campus in Wonju City. This geographic diversity allows Kyungdong to serve a wide range of communities, from coastal and rural to urban and metropolitan settings.
Each campus specialises in specific areas: the Global Campus focuses on international studies and undergraduate programmes taught in English and Korean, the Metropolis Campus caters to public sector and industrial careers, and the Medical Campus pioneers healthcare and medical technology training.
Academically, the university offers a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across a range of fields including humanities, social science, food science, IT, health and nursing, and education.
The university has pioneered a new vision for international education in South Korea by launching the Global Student Mobility Project (GSMP). GSMP is a global network of higher educational institutions that provides a unique opportunity to all students to gain an international perspective. KDU Global curriculums have been adopted in over 10 countries including Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Peru, Colombia and Malaysia. KDU Global graduates can join pathway programmes at universities in Canada, the US, Australia, France, Spain, and Italy.
