The language school was selected as a member of the “Korean Language Training Program” by the Korean Ministry of Education, and since 2008 not only has it been entrusted by the Korean government with the task of training national scholarship students[graduate and undergraduate], but it has also been constantly praised by both the national and international community as one of the most respectable language institutes.
In 2019, Sunmoon University was selected to run the Sejong Hakdang by the King Sejong Institute Foundation and the Coonming Sejong Hakdang in China. Sunmoon University has been trying to introduce Korean Language and culture around the world.
Moreover, in order to help international students adapt and enjoy a successful overseas study experience, the language school provides advanced education, opportunities to directly experience rich Korean culture, as well as a systematic counseling service to help students choose their future course of studies. Furthermore, in order to make the overseas study experience more meaningful, Sunmoon University has been actively encouraging students to take part in the University’s volunteering program, as well as in the learning help desk program.
