About Gachon University
Gachon University (가천대학교 - GCU) is a major private comprehensive research university in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, South Korea. Formed in 2012 through the historic landmark merger of Kyungwon University and the Gachon University of Medicine and Science (founded under the healthcare network of the Gachon Gil Medical Group and Dr. Lee Gil-ya), the university operates an integrated dual-campus metropolitan model. Gachon is widely recognized for its national leadership in digital transformation and high-tech innovation—becoming the first university in South Korea to establish an undergraduate Department of Artificial Intelligence in 2020—alongside premier nationwide strengths in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, semiconductor systems engineering, and biotechnology. Its Global Campus in Seongnam directly connects to the Seoul subway network via Gachon University Station on the Suin-Bundang Line, anchored by the iconic multi-level subterranean and above-ground Gachon Vision Tower complex. The Medical Campus in Incheon operates in close synergy with the 1,400-bed Gachon University Gil Medical Center and the renowned Gachon Brain Disease Research Institute, pioneering advanced neuroscience with world-leading ultra-high-field 7T MRI technology.
