Change the World with Interdisciplinary Intelligence!

Dear Prospective Students, Greetings! This is Jinsoo Kim, Dean of Hanyang Intercollege.
What dreams do you aspire to achieve? What knowledge and wisdom do you seek to acquire in your university journey to realize these dreams? In today's increasingly complex world, the importance of convergence education—which integrates knowledge and skills across various disciplines to drive innovation and change—continues to grow exponentially. In 2025, Hanyang University established Hanyang Intercollege as a new milestone in Korean convergence education, dedicated to nurturing 'Hanyang individuals who address contemporary challenges with flexible and open-minded thinking' as Changemakers who weave together knowledge and wisdom while actively creating positive change.

At Hanyang Intercollege, we aim to fundamentally transform students' perspectives beyond the traditional focus on college admission and employment. Our mission is to empower students to become agents of change who lead social and environmental transformation, developing their capacity to pioneer their own paths rather than merely pursuing a degree for employment purposes.

Moreover, we are committed to cultivating talents who can adapt flexibly and proactively to our evolving global landscape. Our program develops convergence-oriented professionals equipped with systematic and scientific thinking on global issues, proficiency in data analysis and research methodologies, effective communication skills, and the ability to coordinate diverse perspectives through persuasive decision-making.

At this pivotal moment, when learning pathways are diversifying and societal structures are being reorganized, Hanyang Intercollege embodies the true meaning of university education that Hanyang University has long envisioned. Our curriculum goes beyond traditional knowledge acquisition, offering an educational journey where students think and experience as global citizens while exploring societal challenges and developing innovative solutions.

I invite you to join Hanyang Intercollege, where you will become leaders of tomorrow through our innovative convergence education. If you are passionate about not just dreaming but actualizing your aspirations, Hanyang Intercollege awaits you. Through our pioneering approach to convergence education, we will work alongside you to chart the path toward realizing your dreams. The diverse experiences and opportunities at Hanyang Intercollege will become invaluable assets in your journey ahead. Let us create meaningful change together.

Get out of your comfort zone to embrace the unknown!
Sincerely,
Jinsoo Kim
Dean, Hanyang Intercollege
