Currently, Keimyung University has approximately 4,100 international students enrolled, including those in Korean language training programs, undergraduate and graduate programs, and exchange student programs.

In particular, Keimyung University was selected for the third consecutive year as an "Excellent Accredited University," the highest grade in the Ministry of Education's Educational Internationalization Competency Certification Program for 2026.

As a result, the university has secured strong competitive advantages, such as simplified visa issuance procedures and additional points in the government scholarship program for international students (GKS).

Beseke Pero Hosel Maduel, a student from Equatorial Guinea who enrolled as a government scholarship recipient, said, "The opportunity to study in Korea is extremely valuable," adding, "I want to learn the Korean language and culture in depth and contribute to the development of my home country as well."

Keimyung University Vice President for International Affairs Kim Sun-jung stated, "We will spare no effort in supporting international students so they can focus on their studies," and added, "We will further enhance the university's global competitiveness by expanding our global programs."

Meanwhile, following the operation of Sejong Institutes and the Keimyung Korea Center in four countries, Keimyung University plans to open the "Daegu Global Center" in Hanoi, Vietnam, in April.

Through this, the university intends to strengthen its local overseas network and actively launch customized study abroad support programs for Daegu.
