Korea University Launches Korea’s First College of Media & Communication
New Division of Global Entertainment Introduced for International Students
“Enhancing K-Content Competitiveness through Academia-Industry Collaboration”
Korea University has unveiled the nation’s first College of Media & Communication, marking a groundbreaking milestone in Korean higher education.
Building upon a six-decade legacy of excellence in media studies, this newly established college integrates the existing Division of Media and Communication with the newly launched Division of Global Entertainment, specifically designed to develop experts for the rapidly expanding global entertainment industry.
Through this visionary restructuring, Korea University aims to solidify its role as a leader in cutting-edge media education and bolster the global competitiveness of K-content.
A core objective of the College of Media & Communication is to deepen the convergence between media theory and industry practices.
Although the two divisions will conduct separate admissions, they will collaborate through an interdisciplinary curriculum, offering cross-listed courses and cooperative projects that bridge diverse fields. This approach not only maximizes educational synergy but also empowers students with both specialized knowledge and integrative problem-solving skills—qualities essential for success in the ever-evolving digital age.
