Professor Min Ho Ma, Head of Admissions at Handong Global University, said, “Handong Global University is located in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province, but it is a global university with 31.7% of students from Seoul, Incheon, and the Gyeonggi metropolitan area and 12.8% from abroad enrolling. The ratio of English lectures is 39.1% and excellent internationalization programs such as exchange student programs are provided. Although the preference of enrolling universities in metropolitan area is intensifying, students in the region can receive high-quality education without moving into metropolitan area.
