Chung-Ang University traces its origins to a kindergarten opened in 1916, and it has since grown into a multi-campus university with its main campus in Dongjak-gu, Seoul.
It operates two campuses, a Seoul campus and a campus in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province,. More than a dozen colleges cover fields such as engineering, business, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, education and the arts.
Applicants from abroad should check the university’s English website for admission procedures, language requirements and housing, because these differ between the Seoul and Anseong campuses and between undergraduate and graduate programmes. The two sites give the university a presence both inside the capital and in the surrounding province, and students deciding between them should look at where their chosen college is taught.
