Woosong University (WSU) is a specialized university, located in Daejeon, South Korea providing specialized curricula based on practical foreign language and high-tech IT education for every major field of study. Under the educational principles of Korea, Woosong University is governed by the ideology of independence, righteousness, and goodness. Woosong is dedicated to those students who want to learn professional knowledge and those who strive to attain the technological skills and research practices necessary for the present and the future industrial society.

Woosong University also dedicates itself to the cultivation of people who devote themselves to national and social developments as well as improvements. Since the establishment of the university in 1995, Woosong has signed more than 100 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with many universities and schools in more than 30 countries. Among the programs that they develop are student and faculty exchange programs, joint research, joint degree, etc. Currently, in the field of innovation, Woosong University is becoming a leading university in Korea. In May 2011, Woosong University was awarded the 2011 Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology’s “A Leading University in Education” award and the 2nd consecutive “Council of University Education” award.

The conditions for the “A leading University in Education” award consist of the evaluation on the level of the educational process, management, and support system. Woosong University received an above average assessment due to their international programs and 4 semester process, making Woosong the first university to distinctively model a yearlong educational program. In 2007, Woosong University established SolBridge International School of Business.

SolBridge is not only unique in Korea but also in Asia in which 100% of courses are taught in English, 80% of the professors come from 14 nations, and 80% of the students are from outside Korea. This makes SolBridge a truly international school.

Facilities

Woosong University features state of the art, multi-media conference and internet facilities for teaching from off-campus locations around the world. This enables us to bring frequent guest lecturers to our program that otherwise would be impossible due to distance and time constraints. All of our classrooms are fully equipped with electronic projection and broadband internet capabilities.

The academic facility includes International dormitories, health and fitness center, swimming pool, soccer fields, sauna, and a full-sized gymnasium which has fitness equipment, basketball court and bleachers for public sport activities.

Studying a management degree gives graduates a broad knowledge of business, finance, economics and marketing, as well as a range of practical skills and work experience, making them highly sought after by graduate employers and for graduate training schemes. Management graduates can work in a large variety of sectors, including the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Demand for places on master’s in management courses is soaring, as students fresh out of uni are realising the qualification is their golden ticket to highly sought-after graduate positions at companies like Goldman Sachs or PwC. After all, it’s hardly a coincidence that 95% of grads from London Business School’s Masters in Management accept a role within three months of graduation, earning a mean salary of £41,963 (US$55,408).

We asked the experts at LBS to tell us some of the amazing career benefits from graduating with a prestigious master’s in management degree.

1. You’ll avoid the nightmare of that soul-wrenching first job

The general consensus among professionals and recruiters is that grads have to pay their dues before they get a well-paid and fulfilling job, but nothing could be further from the truth. All of the students on LBS’s MiM have less than two years of prior relevant experience, and a large majority of them move into the consulting, finance and technology sectors straight out of uni, jumping the queue and claiming those top jobs.

2. You’ll probably end up working abroad as a consultant in investment banking or financial services

42% of students who graduated from LBS’s MiM in 2016 moved into consulting, 34% found jobs in finance - including investment banking, private equity and venture capital, investment management and financial services - while the rest diversified and chose to work in areas such as technology, media and entertainment.

Bart van der Veld graduated from LBS with a MiM in 2016 and is now working as an associate consultant at Bain & Company Amsterdam. In an interview, he explained he owes part of his success to LBS’s amazing careers team. He said: “Their support in preparing me for the career management journey allowed me to achieve my ambition of a role in consulting”.

3. Your payslips will always be impressive

With a mean base salary of £41,963 and the average bonuses being £7,648, LBS’s MiM students are earning almost twice as much as the typical starting graduate salary. Professionals with a MiM can expect a much higher earning potential than colleagues without a similar qualification.

4. You’ll have an impressive lineup of transferrable skills

Leadership and problem-solving might sound like LinkedIn buzzwords, but both are important skills that could get you hired in most industries, especially if you’re hoping to manage teams or clients on a daily basis. If you decide later in life to change careers, having a few transferrable skills will make the transition a lot smoother.

5. You could land a top job at the likes of Google, Goldman Sachs, or J.P. Morgan

Receiving your training from the right place makes all the difference. At LBS, for instance, you’d be invited to student-led conferences to meet and debate with industry pioneers, entrepreneurs, policymakers and government leaders, which should put you in a really good position for your job hunt. Companies that have hired from LBS’s MiM in the past include HSBC, Accenture, Amazon, Ernst and Young, J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, Google, Thomson Reuters, Goldman Sachs and many
