GYEONGJU

Study in Gyeongju, Korea’s historic city, where tradition and global education meet.

  • Located in Gyeongju, a historic city of Korea,
    our university offers a unique academic environment
    where tradition, culture, and global education converge.

  • Gyeongju, where Singyeongju University (SGU) is located, is the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom, a dynasty that flourished for over a thousand years. It is a historic and cultural city that embraces the UNESCO World Heritage site Gyeongju Historic Areas, where history and everyday life coexist.

  • In world history, only a few cities served as capitals for more than a millennium. Gyeongju stands alongside Rome, Istanbul, and Xi’an as one of the world’s four great ancient capitals. Notably, Silla and Rome are the only civilizations in history to sustain a single dynasty for over 1,000 years—an exceptional legacy of political stability and cultural continuity.

  • As the host city of the APEC Summit 2025, Gyeongju is welcoming visitors from around the world and accelerating its global transformation. The local community is open and friendly toward international residents, and the city’s strong tourism, cultural, and hospitality industries create diverse part-time and career opportunities for international students.

    Studying in Gyeongju means living in a city where global history, cultural depth, safety, and opportunity come together—an ideal environment for international students seeking more than just a degree.
