About the university
Gachon University is a large private university in Seongnam, South Korea. Its current structure is the result of a merger of four institutions: in 2007, Gachon University of Medicine and Science merged with Gachon-Gil College, and Kyungwon University merged with Kyungwon College, before the two universities combined in 2012.
The university has three campuses: the main Global Campus in Seongnam, plus campuses on Ganghwa Island and in Yeonsu-dong, and a School of Medicine in Incheon. Kyungwon University was founded in 1982 as a four-year college and was elevated to university status in 1987 with 6 colleges.
