Since its foundation, Ajou University has adhered to the principles of “Respect for Humanity”, “Truth-seeking Based on Practicality”, and “Uniting Humankind for One Global Society”.

Respect for humanity is the act of valuing oneself and others simultaneously. Throughout its research, education, and public service, Ajou University places the utmost importance on this principle. Our aim at Ajou University is to connect ourselves with our neighbors, our country, and the world to provide them with support by viewing humans not merely as means, but as an ultimate goal or value.
