Korea University Business School Regains No. 1 Position in Korea in THE Rankings… Climbs to 57th Globally  A “quantum jump” of over 50 spots in just one year… Achieving an Industry score of 99.9.     Korea University Business School (Dean: Eonsoo Kim) ranked No. 1 in Korea in the Business and Economics category of the 2026 World University Rankings released by Times Higher Education (THE) in the United Kingdom, reaffirming its leading position in business education nationwide.    In this year’s evaluation, Korea University Business School placed 57th globally, demonstrating a remarkable rise of more than 50 places from last year’s ranking band of 101–125. It was the sole No. 1 institution among Korean universities. This sharp rebound is not seen as a temporary fluctuation, but rather as the outcome of sustained efforts to strengthen the School’s core competitiveness in education and research to a global standard.    Among the results, the most notable highlight was Korea University’s performance in the Industry category—an indicator that reflects practical and applied scholarship. With an outstanding score of 99.9, nearly a perfect mark, the result underscores the strong real-world impact of Korea University Business School’s research achievements across industry.    Key indicators closely tied to academic reputation also recorded significant gains. The score for the teaching environment rose to 59.0, up 13.3 points from the previous year, while the research environment score increased to 56.2, marking a 12.4-point improvement. Such substantial gains in surveys of domestic and international faculty members demonstrate that Korea University Business School has become firmly established within the global business academic community.    Beyond THE, Korea University Business School has also demonstrated strong performance in other major global rankings. In the 2025 QS Subject Rankings, it placed 28th worldwide in Marketing and 42nd in Business and Management Studies, earning broad recognition for its overall academic excellence. In the 2025 Financial Times (FT) EMBA Rankings, it ranked 61st globally, remaining the only Korean university within the world’s top 100.    Korea University Business School was the first in Korea to earn AACSB accreditation for all of its degree programs and has since successfully achieved four consecutive re-accreditations. In 2025, the School received a six-year extension of its AACSB accreditation, once again demonstrating that it has firmly established an education system aligned with international standards.    Dean Eonsoo Kim remarked, “This achievement is the result of the sustained efforts and support of our leadership team, faculty, staff, and above all, our alumni across all areas, including education, research, and international collaboration, over the past several years.” He added, “While there is still room for improvement as we compete with leading global institutions, we remain committed to pursuing innovation without pause.”    He further emphasized, “We will continue to strengthen the Business School’s strategic pillars—the 3Cs (Curiosity, Collaboration, and Contribution to Society) and the 4Tech areas (AI, Semiconductors, Energy, and Robotics). Through initiatives such as the ‘KUBS 120 MARCH’ fundraising campaign commemorating the University’s 120th anniversary, we will provide comprehensive support to ensure that our students develop a distinctive competitive edge on the global stage.”

CHOO CHOO Cohort 20 Signals the Start of a New Startup Journey     The orientation for new resident companies of CHOO CHOO Cohort 20 was held on Tuesday, January 6, at The STAGE (Room 201) in the KUBS Main Building. The orientation brought together nine teams newly joining Startup Station, who received an overview of the residency program and guidance on startup life at the station.    The nine teams selected through the 2025 Startup Express Winter Season include:  △Pearing, an AI- and SaaS-based platform that improves special education administration;  △ SnapScale, a vertical LLM–based chemical process design automation solution;  △ Jo & An, an AI-powered end-to-end (E2E) self-guided travel solution;  △ Playlab, an AI-based service that automates the entire seeding marketing process;  △ Daily Compound, an AI-powered self-guided tour service;  △ Hintefe (Humanproof), a mobile bespoke jewelry workshop powered by AI tutors;  △ Machinery Republic, an AX-based industrial machinery trading service;  △ Lococo, a global K-beauty retail platform operating both online and offline; and  △ Achiva, a social networking platform for sharing personal achievements.    These teams will move forward together with Startup Station as members of CHOO CHOO Cohort 20.     The event opened with a welcome address by Joon Ho Hwang, Director of the KUBS Startup Station. Director Hwang remarked, “Entrepreneurship is a journey that is difficult to undertake alone,” adding, “I hope that everyone gathered here will share their experiences and challenges, grow together, and create meaningful outcomes.”     This was followed by a session in which representatives of each resident company introduced their teams and shared their impressions of joining the station. The representatives expressed their expectations for the residency and their desire to build a community that fosters positive synergy through collaboration and networking.    A representative from Daily Compound shared their aspirations, stating, “As our service is an enterprise B2B tool, there is much we hope to learn by exchanging ideas with others. We look forward to growing together by supporting one another.” A representative from Machinery Republic also commented, “It is an honor to be alongside such outstanding teams. I hope to learn a great deal from the other teams.”    This was followed by Young Kyung Kim, Director of the Iljin Center for Startup Incubation, who outlined the mentoring framework for resident companies. Director Kim remarked, “Warren Buffett once described his relationship with Benjamin Graham as one of companions who grow together,” adding, “I hope our resident companies will also build relationships with their mentors in which they can grow together.” He continued, “We will provide practical support in establishing essential systems, including contract drafting and financial management.”    The mentoring program consists of Station Meetings, where resident companies present their business progress on a bimonthly basis, and On-Demand Mentoring, which can be requested whenever assistance is needed. Director Kim emphasized, “We aim to foster a mentoring environment where participants can communicate openly and engage in free discussion.”      Following the orientation, teams were assigned seating within the Iljin Center for Startup Incubation. The event concluded with a luncheon meeting, providing an opportunity for team members and Startup Station staff to connect and exchange ideas.    KUBS Startup Station supports young entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds in realizing entrepreneurship and innovation through sharing and collaboration. Teams selected through the Startup Station residency program, Startup Express, are eligible for six months of rent-free residency at the Iljin Center for Startup Incubation.    Resident companies also receive practical, hands-on training that spans both theory and application through Startup Essential, an onboarding education program for newly admitted teams, delivered by startup and industry experts.    Through this orientation, the CHOO CHOO Cohort 20 teams officially began their journey at KUBS Startup Station, fully prepared to take on new challenges ahead.

Korea University Business School MSBA Holds Information Session for 2026 Spring BA Admits     The Center for Digital Transformation and Business (CDTB) at Korea University Business School held an information session on January 6 for students admitted to the 2026 Spring BA intake. The event was organized to support admitted students in making informed enrollment decisions and featured an overview of the program, a discussion with current students, and a Q&A session.   The session opened with welcoming remarks from Professor Jeunghyun Kim, Academic Director of the MSBA program. Congratulating the admitted students, Professor Kim stated, “This session is designed to provide a realistic overview of the MSBA program and the academic environment students can expect to experience.”    This was followed by an introduction to the MSBA program. The MSBA is a master’s program offered by the Graduate School ,of Korea University Business School, featuring a practice-oriented curriculum focused on developing Business Analytics capabilities. A distinguishing feature of the program is that, in place of a traditional academic thesis, students fulfill graduation requirements through a company-collaborative capstone project.    The program follows an intensive structure in which two years’ worth of coursework is completed within one year. In the first semester, foundational and required courses in data analysis and business problem-solving are offered in a concentrated format. In subsequent semesters, students engage fully in the capstone project. Some courses may be taken during the summer term, allowing students to better balance their academic workload across semesters.      In the latter part of the session, a discussion was held with current students from the sixth cohort of the MSBA program. Drawing on their firsthand experiences, the students shared insights into the program’s academic rigor and learning environment. One student remarked, “With classes, assignments, and team projects running concurrently, the perceived level of difficulty is quite high,” adding that “it is important to secure an environment conducive to focusing on one’s studies.”    Further explanations were also provided regarding the capstone project. Another student noted, “By conducting analyses based on real corporate data, we gain experience with the entire process—from problem definition to deriving results,” explaining that “the project outcomes can be used as a portfolio for employment or career exploration after graduation.” The student also emphasized that “differences in outcomes depend largely on individual engagement and effort rather than on the program itself.”    During the Q&A session, participants raised questions regarding academic workload, English proficiency requirements, graduation criteria, and career pathways.    The session concluded with additional Q&A exchanges between admitted students and current students, followed by closing remarks from Center Director Kyung Sam Park. CDTB stated that it plans to continue providing information and opportunities for communication so that admitted students can fully understand the program before deciding whether to enroll.

See You in 2026 at Korea University:  2025 CEMS Annual Events, Rio     In early December, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil—host city of the 2025 CEMS Annual Events organized by FGV-EAESP (FGV School of Business Administration)—became a venue where celebration and preparation unfolded simultaneously. While a graduation ceremony was taking place on stage, delegations from the next host institution were conducting site inspections and engaging in detailed discussions behind the scenes. The baton was officially passed, with the destination confirmed as Seoul in November 2026—Korea University Business School.    CEMS (Global Alliance in Management Education) is a global alliance of leading business schools operating under the principle of “one country, one school.” Because only one institution may represent each country, CEMS is clearly distinguished from conventional exchange agreements or other international accreditations. The term “national representative” is no exaggeration, as membership entails responsibilities commensurate with its prestige. In Korea, Korea University Business School is the sole member institution.      The CEMS MIM (Master in International Management) is the only degree program offered by CEMS. Students complete the common CEMS curriculum alongside distinctive courses and academic offerings provided by each member school. In the case of Korea University’s CEMS Global MIM program, students earn a master’s degree from Korea University in addition to the CEMS MIM certificate. In other words, the CEMS MIM is not a program operated independently by a single institution, but an educational framework jointly developed by member schools and implemented individually by each—an approach that closely aligns with the guiding principle of “Think Globally, Act Locally.”    The CEMS Annual Events serve both as a celebration of student achievement and as a forum where the CEMS headquarters and member schools come together to exchange ideas and engage in rigorous, productive discussions for the continuous development of the alliance. Over the course of two days, Program Directors from member schools collaborated to enhance academic systems and curriculum development, while program managers discussed strategies to strengthen student-centered administrative services. During representative meetings and the General Assembly, major policies were reviewed and key decisions were made, and a range of networking events took place in the evenings. On the final day, the highlight of the events—the graduation ceremony—was held. This year’s graduation in Rio welcomed more than 400 graduates from around the world, along with approximately 800 family members and guests. In addition to the conferral of diplomas, the ceremony featured inspiring congratulatory remarks and performances unique to Brazil, creating a rich and memorable celebration.      With Korea University confirmed as the host for 2026, this year’s Annual Events also served as an opportunity for the next host institution to conduct on-site inspections and carry out the operational handover. Accordingly, a five-member delegation from Korea University—Associate Dean Gangseog Ryu, Academic Director Tony C. Garrett, Professor Kayryung Koo, Team Head Bina Ok, and staff member Song Hee Chung—participated in the events and formally received the baton from FGV at the conclusion of the graduation ceremony. During the AE period, the delegation held handover meetings with FGV representatives to review plans and operational details, while also consulting with the CEMS headquarters on related matters. At the General Assembly, they unveiled a promotional video prepared for the 2026 events and shared updates on the preparation progress.     In nearly 40 years of CEMS history, Korea University’s hosting of the Annual Events in 2026 will mark the first time the events are held in Asia. Korea University, which has played a pioneering role in the history of management education in Korea, will use this occasion to establish a new milestone for the region. In particular, given that institutions such as the National University of Singapore and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology joined CEMS earlier than Korea University, the decision to designate Korea University as the host reflects the institution’s demonstrated pride and spirit of challenge.    ▶ Watch the promotional video    From November 26 to 28, 2026, the CEMS community will gather at Korea University in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The upcoming Annual Events hosted by Korea University will be meticulously prepared to ensure they leave a lasting impression on CEMS members and serve as a model of best practice for future host institutions.    The event’s core visual element, the logo, was designed around eosahwa—a traditional flower symbolizing and celebrating graduates’ achievements—together with various motifs representing Korea’s past, present, and future. The traditional roof tile of Korean architecture symbolizes cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and an aesthetic refined over time, while the Taegeuk emblem represents harmony and balance, further strengthening the connection to Korean identity.    The promotional video was produced in line with the same visual concept, conveying the message that participants from around the world are brought together through K-culture and history, K-beauty, K-food, K-pop, and Korea University. The invitation extended by Korea University through this logo and video is simple: to meet in Seoul on November 26, 2026. Korea University Business School continues its steady preparations to welcome the CEMS community and to deliver, in Seoul, a week worthy of that invitation.

Year-End Nights: A Record of the MBA, E-MBA, AMP, and MSP Gatherings     The year-end season for alumni associations is invariably busy. The closing months at Korea University Business School is difficult to describe as a simple collection of events. The alumni associations of the MBA, Executive MBA (E-MBA), AMP (Advanced Management Program), and MSP programs each brought the year to a close according to their own schedules and formats. What they shared was not merely the name “year-end gathering,” but the density of time each gathering held.   While the overall structure of these events may appear familiar and similar, what each program places at its center and which moments it chooses to preserve differ from one another. These differences are closely tied to how each alumni association records itself and prepares for the coming year. Who is called by name, which contributions are left on record, what messages are conveyed through congratulatory and commemorative remarks, and which scenes are captured in photographs — all of these choices define how each alumni community understands itself.    MBA ‘Night of Alumni’ — Leadership That Extends Learning into Society  At 6:00 p.m. on December 8, 2025, the 2025 Korea University MBA Management Awards Ceremony and Alumni Night was held at the Grand Ballroom of The Plaza Hotel. Hosted by the MBA Alumni Association of the Korea University Business School, the event followed the familiar year-end format of a reception, awards ceremony, dinner, a performance by the cheering squad, and commemorative photography. While adhering to convention, the evening clearly illustrated the values by which the MBA community reflected on the past year and prepared for the next.    At the center of the event was the acceptance speech of Jo Soo-yeon (Class of 1990, K-MBA 70th cohort), recipient of the 2025 Korea University MBA Management Award. As CEO of FM Communications Co., Ltd., Jo introduced her business philosophy of integrating technology, creativity, and sustainability, and expressed gratitude for the learning she gained through the MBA program. She also emphasized her commitment, as an alumna, to contributing to society in ways that enhance the honor and value of the Korea University MBA. Rather than highlighting personal achievement, her remarks placed greater emphasis on extending learning into society.    This tone continued in the remarks of the recipients of the Proud Alumnus Award. Hwang Hyun-sung, Executive Vice President (Class of 1993, K-MBA 73rd cohort), stated, “Whether it is knowledge or wealth, its value grows much greater when it is shared and given,” adding that he would continue to live a life of sharing and service for his alma mater and the alumni association. Lee Kang-hyun, also an Executive Vice President (Class of 2010, K-MBA 90th cohort), noted that the award reflected “the hearts and efforts of many people,” and expressed his intention to practice greater social responsibility. Though expressed differently, both conveyed a shared resolve not to allow achievement to remain merely a personal outcome.    This moment resonated with the mission emphasized when Korea University established the nation’s first MBA program. Leadership that does not end with achievement, but expands into social responsibility and practice, has been passed down through generations, and this year’s MBA Alumni Night once again reaffirmed that tradition. The awardees’ remarks emphasized “one’s posture after success,” shaping the tone of the event by linking the year’s conclusion to future action.    Ultimately, the MBA Alumni Night placed greater weight on the words spoken by those honored than on any elaborate production. Though the awards concluded, the recipients’ remarks remained as promises extending beyond the night itself and toward the coming year. What the MBA alumni repeatedly reaffirmed was not individual success alone, but the manner in which that success is reconnected to society. “Give back what we have learned, and responsibly carry forward the pride of the Korea University MBA” — this message was woven into the December night.    E-MBA ‘Night of Alumni’ — Embracing One Another’s Efforts and Matching Steps Again  The E-MBA year-end gathering was held on December 12, 2025, at Anam Hall of the Korea University Alumni Association. Beginning at 6:00 p.m. with a simple dinner, the event continued with greetings and a toast by the President of the E-MBA Alumni Association. Rather than foregrounding individual achievement, the evening unfolded in an atmosphere focused on recognizing and encouraging one another for the efforts sustained throughout the year. Across the program, the emphasis was placed not on “what more was achieved,” but on “what time was shared together.”    Following a performance by the E-MBA CHORUS, 162 distinguished guests and alumni from each cohort were introduced. This sequence served to highlight how alumni from diverse cohorts collectively form the E-MBA community. Congratulatory remarks and an academic report delivered by Eonsoo Kim, Dean of the Business School, followed, focusing on the current status of program operations and future directions.    The handover of leadership from the 17th to the 18th Alumni Association administration also took place. Kim Deok-cheon, introduced as the 18th President of the Alumni Association, offered words of encouragement for the time that had passed and expressed hope that members would continue to walk forward together in mutual support. Kim Young-mok, the first President of the Alumni Association, was also in attendance and delivered a toast.    The latter part of the evening transitioned into a Night of Alumni Concert. Instrumental and vocal performances were presented, including “Let the Bright Seraphim” from the oratorio Samson, Ave Maria, and Nella Fantasia. The concert provided a calm and reflective close to the year, allowing alumni to look back on one another’s efforts.    The E-MBA year-end gathering thus served as a space to acknowledge the time shared together and to prepare for the year ahead, as participants shared the weight of a demanding year and brought it to a close collectively.    AMP ‘Night of Year-End Support’ — Marking 50 Years and Preparing for the Next 50  The 37th Night of Year-End Support held special significance for the AMP Alumni Association. It marked AMP’s 50th anniversary, coincided with the conclusion of activities for the 99th cohort, and witnessed the 100th cohort stepping forward to carry the community into its next chapter. As the nation’s first Advanced Management Program (AMP), the program has sought to cultivate leaders equipped with advanced management theory, an understanding of global economic trends, and a strong foundation in the humanities.    During the event, participants also shared a commitment to preparing together for the University’s next 120 years. Just as Korea University has responded to societal demands over the past 120 years, it presented a vision of expanding its role over the next century through education, research, and social contribution. The AMP Alumni Association expressed its intention to participate as both partner and supporter in this process, uniting around a shared resolve to pass the record of the past 50 years on to the next generation.    Recipients of the 37th Advanced Management Awards were also introduced. Jang Soon-bong, CEO of KAS Holdings (Class of 2009, 67th cohort), was honored in the Global Construction Management category; Jang Sung-ho, CEO of Baek-Un Industry Co., Ltd. (Class of 2023, 96th cohort), in the Construction Infrastructure Shared-Growth Management category; and Woo Ji-ha, CEO of Applia Agricultural Corporation (Class of 2024, 97th cohort), in the Innovative Management and Distribution category. The introductions highlighted not only their achievements in each field but also the leadership and experience they had accumulated through practice in their respective industries.    Time was also devoted to reviewing the year’s activities. Under the leadership of Park Jang-seon, the 23rd President of the Alumni Association, AMP continued a wide range of events throughout the year, broadening exchanges among alumni. It was shared that the active participation of both the executive team and alumni strengthened the cohesion of the community over the past year.    AMP’s 50-year history cannot be explained simply as the passage of time. Continuity has been sustained through cohort-based participation, dedicated operations, and enduring solidarity among alumni. The title Night of Year-End Support itself reflects this character. Fifty years of networking built upon mutual support were brought together as a shared record, and this year’s event was designed as a space to collectively reflect on that meaning. Through commemoration, awards, and fellowship, the evening concluded with a reaffirmation of the program’s half-century trajectory.    MSP “Night of Business Alumni” — Emphasizing Partnership with the Alma Mater  The 2025 Business Alumni Night, commemorating the 61st anniversary of MSP and marking the close of 2025, was held at 6:00 p.m. on December 18 at Anam Hall of the Korea University Alumni Center, hosted by the MSP Alumni Association. The program followed a structure similar to other year-end events, bringing the season to a well-structured close.    On this evening, the alumni association emphasized close partnership with the University as a core value. Referring to the continuum from the 104th to the 106th cohorts of the Management Research Program, speakers stressed that the development of the University and the growth of the alumni association are inseparable. Alumni were encouraged to take interest in and actively participate in initiatives supporting the University’s advancement. The program’s historical significance—established in 1963 alongside the founding of Korea University’s Graduate School of Business, the nation’s first—further reinforced the message of a tradition carried forward together with the University.    The 2025 Business Award was presented to alumnus Maeng Min-hee (Class of 2021, 98th cohort). Maeng has continued active management initiatives, including overseas patent filings, and was recognized for enhancing the program’s stature through exemplary corporate leadership. The Overall Excellence Award (Grand Prize) for outstanding cohort performance was awarded to the 65th cohort, with President Jeong Ha-seong (Class of 2004, 65th cohort) and Secretary-General Oh Young-wook (Class of 2004, 65th cohort) named as recipients.    In the individual award categories, the Liberitas Award was presented to Lee Jeong-geun (Class of 2008, 72nd cohort), and the Justitia Award to Noh Hee-yeol (Class of 2007, 71st cohort). Lee has placed customer trust at the core of his business philosophy while also serving as Chair of an association supporting the families of fallen service members. Noh has consistently supported alumni association initiatives and has made significant contributions to the development of both the University and the alumni community, including a KRW 150 million scholarship donation to Korea University and mask donations to Korea University Hospital during the COVID-19 period.    The 2025 Night of Business Alumni concluded as both a moment to reflect on the year past and a shared commitment by MSP to carry the coming year forward grounded in mutual growth with the University. The awards and acknowledgments illuminated the profiles of alumni who have contributed to the community across diverse fields. These contributions stand as concrete expressions of MSP’s long-emphasized principle of coexistence with the University, as they are closely connected to support for education, healthcare, and students. In this way, the recognition of alumni achievements quietly filled the year’s end with substance and continuity.         Although the four programs held their year-end events on different schedules and in different formats, the values that emerged were strikingly consistent. Achievements accumulated over the year were not left as individual records alone, but were reconnected to collective responsibility and solidarity. Ultimately, the year-end gatherings functioned as spaces to reaffirm a simple commitment: “We learned together, endured together, and now prepare for what comes next—together.”    This commitment takes concrete form through networks. Year-end alumni events extend beyond simple fellowship, serving instead as moments to revisit the structures of connection—support, participation, inter-cohort succession, and partnership with the alma mater. The act of naming individual contributions and preserving them within collective memory resembles a shared agreement to distribute responsibility so that relationships may endure. In this sense, the year-end night is both a pause at the close of the year and a way of making the next year possible.    In the end, the year-end gatherings of the four programs can be summarized under a single shared value: a community that records achievement together and shares responsibility together. The efforts and contributions accumulated in each individual sphere were brought together under the name of the alumni association, and that accumulation was once again connected to practice directed toward the alma mater and society. Thus, the events concluded not only as a summary of the year, but also as a way of beginning the next. 

Korea Universtiy Business School Opens Admissions for Global Programs (G-MBA & G-MIM)-The Only CEMS Member School in Korea       Korea University Business School is now accepting applications for the Global MBA (G-MBA) and CEMS Global Master in Management (G-MIM) programs, both scheduled to commence in September 2026.      Cultivating Practice-Oriented Global Talent: Global MBA  The Global MBA (G-MBA) is a practice-oriented MBA program designed to cultivate future global leaders. The program offers a structured curriculum that equips students with essential business competencies required across diverse industries and cultural contexts, while also providing flexible track options aligned with individual career goals and circumstances.   The G-MBA is primarily offered as a one-year, full-time program, with opportunities to extend the period of study depending on the selected track: an exchange student track (18 months) or a dual-degree track (two years). Built on an intensive curriculum, the program also features weekly Global CEO Talks, where distinguished speakers from various fields share real-world insights and leadership experiences.    All courses are conducted entirely in English, enabling students to strengthen their communication skills for international business environments while deepening their understanding of global management and leadership. Applicants from all undergraduate majors are welcome, and the program is open to a wide range of participants—from early-career professionals preparing for global careers to working professionals seeking to advance into leadership roles. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.      The Only CEMS Global MIM Program in Korea: Dual Recognition with the MIM Degree and the CEMS MIM Certificate  The CEMS Global Master in Management (G-MIM) is a one-year, intensive, full-time program offered in collaboration with CEMS, a global alliance of leading business schools. CEMS operates under the principle of “one country, one business school,” and in 2015, Korea University Business School was selected as the sole CEMS member institution in Korea.    The CEMS Graduation Ceremony was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2025, and is scheduled to take place at Korea University in 2026, making the upcoming ceremony particularly meaningful for the School and its community.    The G-MIM program offers a curriculum in which students study for one semester at Korea University and one semester at a leading partner business school overseas. Through learning in diverse national, cultural, and business environments, participants build a strong global network while strengthening their practice-oriented competencies. All courses are conducted entirely in English, and the program also includes an eight-week global corporate internship.    The program is open to undergraduate graduates (or expected graduates) in business, economics, or related fields, with a primary focus on early-career candidates with less than two years of full-time work experience who aspire to become future leaders. Upon completion of the program, students are awarded both the Master in Management (MIM) degree and the CEMS Master in International Management (CEMS MIM) Certificate.      World-Class Educational Infrastructure and International Accreditation: Three-Round Admissions Process  Korea University has continued to strengthen its educational and research capabilities, supported by the largest full-time faculty body in Korea, and offers a world-class educational environment. Another key strength is that Korea University was the first institution in Korea to obtain and maintain AACSB and EQUIS accreditation and re-accreditation across all degree programs.    Admissions for this intake will be conducted in three rounds, with information sessions held in each round to provide applicants with detailed program information.
