Kim Il Sung University (Korean: 김일성종합대학) is a public university in Taesong, Pyongyang, North Korea. It was founded on 1 October 1946 and was the first tertiary education institution established in post-war North Korea. The 15-hectare (37-acre) campus, along with the main academic buildings, consists of 10 offices, 50 laboratories, libraries, museums, a printing press, an R&D center, dormitories, and a hospital. There is a large computer lab, but it has limited internet access. The university is named in honour of former North Korean leader Kim Il Sung. The student body of Kim Il Sung University is approximately 16,000 students, and offers programs in law, economics, the humanities, and natural sciences. In the spring of 2017, specialised Japanese language and literature courses began being offered. Undergraduate degrees are typically four or five years. The university has a graduate school for doctoral students.
