History

HUFS was founded as a college for studying foreign languages in April 1954 with its first students studying English, French, Chinese, German and Russian. Through the 1960s and 70s, the college expanded its programmes and finally became a university in 1980. In 1981, it opened its second campus in Yongin near Seoul. There students can study East European languages, Polish, Romanian, Czech, Slovakian, Serbian, Croatian, Russian, Bulgarian, etc. as well as most of the subjects on offer at the Seoul campus.
HUFS has continued to set up new language departments, graduate courses, and various research institutes. Now, there are more than 50 departments including Social sciences, East European studies, Humanities, Asia-African studies, Natural sciences. The university also contributes to regional studies, with graduate courses in international & regional studies.
Since 2004 the closely-associated Cyber University of Foreign Studies, based at HUFS, has been offering on-line courses in English, Japanese and Chinese, as well as Business Administration and Journalism and Mass Communication.
