Summary:
Every year, the population of school-age individuals decreases in Korea. This has resulted in 2018
becoming the starting point of the predicament in which the number of high school graduates will be
less than the minimum student enrollment capacity for universities in Korea.
Universities in Korea face a stark reality. For its survival, the university must nurture competitive
students through a reform in the education system. Through the process of globalized education,
Woosong University strives to nurture global talents through the creation of various international
exchange programs and promoting specialization in education. In one calendar year, there are 4
semesters in which students attend classes for a total of 42 weeks which allows them to graduate in
3.5 years as opposed to 4 years. Also, in order to allow our students to become global leaders,
Woosong University operates 2 + 2 programs, study abroad, and various international exchange
programs.
Furthermore, SolBridge International Business School received the AACSB accreditation in just six
years through aggressive investment and the establishment of a specialized education system.
SolBridge International Business School has been recognized as a model of successful globalization
training and is currently being used as a benchmark at many universities.
Currently, SolBridge professors from approximately 12 different countries and international students
from over 40 nations from around the world are studying and residing together in a global learning
environment. All courses are taught in English and students' academic skills are improved through
team projects, lectures and discussions.
In addition, through cooperation with various domestic and foreign global companies including
Samsung and LG, a CEO mentoring program has been created for the students so that they can feel
the presence of global companies.
Today ’ s presentation was focused on the specialized education and promotional practices of
SolBridge International Business School.
