In today’s rapidly changing global environment, higher education institutions are called upon to transcend traditional boundaries and foster meaningful collaboration across nations, disciplines, and communities. Global challenges such as climate change, technological transformation, public health crises, and social inequality require collective intelligence and innovative solutions beyond borders. As a leading research university, SNU is committed to strengthening international cooperation and creating opportunities for scholars, students, and partners around the world to collaborate and grow together.

The Office of Global Affairs (OGA) serves as the central hub for SNU’s global engagement and plays a pivotal role in advancing the university’s internationalization strategies. OGA strengthens international networks, cultivates globally competent leaders, and facilitates meaningful partnerships with institutions and communities worldwide. Through international academic exchange, global education programs, collaborative research initiatives, and comprehensive support for international members of the SNU community, OGA strives to create an inclusive and dynamic global campus.
