1. Program Overview

The Korea–China University 2+2 Joint Education Program is a dual (or joint) degree system jointly operated by universities in Korea and China, based on mutual recognition of academic credits and curricula. Students complete basic and required major courses at their home university in Korea during the first two years, then transfer to a partner university in China to study advanced major courses for two to two and a half years. Upon meeting the graduation requirements of both universities, students can obtain bachelor’s degrees from both Korea and China.

This program aims to nurture globally minded and competitive professionals who possess international sensibility. Students gain integrated knowledge of language, culture, and their major field through this program.
