Seoul National University

Seoul National University (서울대학교) is South Korea’s flagship public research university located in Seoul. The university was established on August 27, 1946, by merging ten institutions of higher education around the Seoul area. The university comprises 16 colleges offering 83 undergraduate programs and serves nearly 17,000 undergraduate and 11,000 graduate students. While no formal framework for cooperation with China was found, Seoul National University maintains engagement with Chinese institutions through participation in bilateral forums. In October 2025, Professor Park Byeong-seug, visiting professor at the university’s Graduate School of International Studies, participated in the 2025 China-South Korea Media Cooperation Forum held in Seoul under the theme “China-South Korea Cooperation for an Intelligent Future.”
