Sejong University Graduate School of Tourism, Recruitment of New Students for the 2022 Fall Semester

Sejong University Graduate School of Tourism will begin recruiting the first round of new students for the second semester of the 2022 academic year starting April 11.

This first round of new students will be recruited by April 18 within the master's degree admission quota for two departments: the Department of Tourism Management (majors in Convention & Event Management / Travel & Aviation Management / Golf & Resort Management) and the Department of Hotel & Food Service Management (majors in Hotel Management / Food Service Management / Food Culture Industry / Small Business Startup).

Eligibility requirements include those who have obtained a bachelor's degree from a four-year university domestically or abroad, those expected to obtain a bachelor's degree, or those recognized by other laws as having equivalent or higher academic qualifications. Selection will be made through document screening and interviews.

In June 2019, Sejong University Graduate School of Tourism opened the Sejong Culinary Institute of Asia (SCIA) aiming to become Asia's top culinary education institution. Through linked operations with the graduate school, establishment of interdisciplinary majors, and strengthening practical and field-adaptive education, it fosters convergence-type talents for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.

Compared to other graduate schools, Sejong University Graduate School of Tourism offers more courses and a higher proportion of lectures by full-time professors. It appropriately assigns industry experts and faculty members according to course characteristics to evenly cultivate practical skills, management and administrative abilities, decision-making, and research capabilities.

Moreover, with the solid infrastructure and educational system of the undergraduate school, it operates an optimized curriculum combining theory and practice aimed at nurturing specialized knowledge and professional managers.

As a result of these efforts, Sejong University's Department of Hotel, Tourism, and Food Service Management ranked first in Korea in the `2021 QS World University Rankings by Subject` by the UK global university ranking organization QS (Quacquarelli Symonds).

Lee Hee-chan, Dean of Sejong University Graduate School of Tourism, said, “Only nine universities in Korea have at least one department ranked within the top 50 worldwide in global university evaluations. This evaluation has become an opportunity for many people to see Sejong University in a new light. The brand power of the Graduate School of Tourism has also greatly increased.”
