Founding Philosophy

“If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32) Based on this founding philosophy, Yonsei University seeks to cultivate leaders who embody the principles of truth and freedom.

Service

Education at Yonsei is based on strong morals, ethics, and humanism. Yonseians are trained to criticize and evaluate themselves throughout their lives. They develop a sense of duty as leaders to help resolve regional and social problems through love and service. Yonseians are cultivated to become leaders with mutual understanding and respect, a spirit of cooperation, and the principles of love, service, and sacrifice.
