2012 Korean Government Scholarship Program

Published on 2012/03/19 | Source

We would like to extend our invitation to all international students who want to further their education at Dongguk University, one of the few Buddhist affiliated universities in the world.

Founded in 1906, Dongguk University provides a world-class education that bridges East and West on many levels. Its doors have always been open to students and teachers of all faiths and philosophies. Students and professors from around the globe enhance the quality of education on each of Dongguk's four campuses by bringing together dramatically diverse life experiences and cultures in a common educational mission.

The Seoul campus is located in the center of Seoul, the capital of Korea, so Dongdaemun Market, Insadong Street, Myeongdong and City Hall are easily accessible from the university. Students can enjoy both modern and traditional aspects of Korea. For more information, please check our homepage at http://www.dongguk.edu/.

We hope students join us in the exciting educational endeavor and we will do our best to make their stay in Korea truly memorable and profitable one in terms of both their personal and educational development.

Thank you.
