The Universities in IGC are independently administered in accordance with their home campuses. Detailed admission information is available on the official website of each university.
Q3 What is an Extended Campus?
The Universities in IGC operate as Extended Campuses, which are different from typical branch campuses.
An Extended Campus is established by expanding the home campus itself, and is operated in the same way. From admission to graduation, all academic decisions are made by the home campus with the same standards. Policies and academic calendar are also managed directly by the home campus.
In addition, all faculty members are directly appointed and dispatched by the home campus, with all academic programs being conducted in full alignment with the degree programs of the home campus.

No. The degree you earn from a university on the Incheon Global Campus is exactly the same as the degree awarded from the university’s main campus.

Yes. Citizens of all nations are welcome to apply. Students will be chosen based on their academic potential and qualifications and not by their ethnic background.
