National Information Center in Korea

WHO WE ARE

KARIC (Korea Academic Recognition Information Center) was launched by KCUE in September, 2017 to lay the groundwork for implementing the Asia-Pacific Regional Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education. It is designated as a National Information Center(NIC) in 2019.

ACADEMIC RECOGNITION IN KOREA

In Korea, the competent recognition authorities are higher education institutions or other entities, and the competence to make decisions in recognition matters lies with higher education institutions or other entities.

WHAT WE AIM TO DO

We provide official information on Korean higher education for stakeholders both at home and abroad to enable the competent recognition authorities to ascertain whether the quality of the qualifications issued by foreign institutions justifies the recognition and to support the policy development and internationalization of Korean higher education.

ASIA-PACIFIC REGIONAL CONVENTION ON THE RECOGNITION OF QUALIFICATIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

The Asia-Pacific Regional Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education entered into force on 1st February 2018, after five countries expressed agreement to be bound by the Convention. The convention aims to encourage international collaboration and mobility, and to ensure the recognition of qualifications in higher education as widely as possible in order to promote lifelong education and the democratization of education
