Kozlova Anastasiia, Russia, Natural Science, BA

I got to know Korea because of the Korean Wave known as "Hallyu." I became more and more interested in Korea while listening to Korean music and watching Korean dramas. After traveling to Korea 3 times, I finally decided to study in Korea. I want to study Food Science and Biotechnology and after graduation I want to have a job in Korea to gain some experience in a Korean working environment. If there is a chance for further study, I also would like to attend graduate school at SKKU.

Ispan Melinda, Hungary, Department of Journalism and Mass Media Communication, MA

I am very impressed that Korea has a long history and in such a short time it has developed a lot. I really like how its modernity and also the traditional values coexist and how people change through globalization. After I graduate, I want to work somewhere between the two countries in a cultural field or other relations as a journalist.

Faraz Muhammad, Pakistan, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ph.D.

I was a lecturer at a university in Pakistan. To develop my studies in the Electrical & Computer Engineering field, I decided to come to study at SKKU. SKKU is ranked as one of the top 100 universities worldwide. I was also deeply touched that SKKU showed a lot of concerns to me the first time I contacted them. Here now, the research environment, colleagues, everything is fine. Also, I am Muslim, and I am satisfied with the facilities provided by SKKU, such as a kitchen for Halal food and a prayer room.
