From January of last year, IGC has produced graduates while the IGC college's high-level educational curriculum has been continuing to be visible. These first graduates were recognized for their competitiveness by being successful in entering domestic and foreign graduate schools, law schools, companies such as LG Electronics, Facebook Singapore, a semiconductor company and KPMG, a multinational corporation, and so on.

The foreign universities of IGC confer the same degree as the home campus when the students graduate from the extended campus, and they will have the opportunity to study at home campuses in the US and Europe. IGC's strengths are its internship experience and various club activities. Universities voluntarily conduct festivals and events. Sports tournaments jointly organized by universities, as well as joint festivals held in October, are only possible on this shared campus.

The focus of IGC Foundation, is to raise the satisfaction level of the campus community, which is a family, as a priority strategy. "IGC will maximize synergy by linking with international organizations and corporations located in Songdo International City, and strive to create an environment where each university can develop and financially become independent. We will do our best to become the 'world's best global education hub' exceeding the vision 'Northeast Asia's best global education hub'," said Kihyung Kim, CEO of IGC Foundation.
