[2] Academic Performance and Integration of International Students in Korean Higher Education:
     The Case of S University -with Hye Yoon Chung (in Korean), Korean Journal of EU Studies, Apr.2023, 28(1), pp.117-143

[ABSTRACT] The number of international students in Korea has steadily increased due to active recruitment by domestic universities with the support of the government. However, the relatively high number of students dropping out has become a crucial issue as it may damage the reputation of Korean higher education in the global market, which may potentially decrease the number of inbound students to Korea in the future. Hence, in addition to recruiting international students, it has become essential to effectively manage them with a focus on providing multidimensional support. This study aims to investigate the key success factors that affect academic achievement and adaptation of international students based on the case of S University, where students from over 60 nationalities are currently enrolled. We find that S University provides various curricular and extracurricular activities to foster social interaction among students, which results in higher levels of academic and social integration of
international students and an increased sense of belonging. Therefore, the example set by S University provides domestic universities with enriched managerial implications with regard to the recruitment and retention of international students.
