After singing of Korea-EU FTA in 2011 the nation-wide interest in the EU is growing much higher than ever before. So called 'a strategic partnership' status defined bilaterally is also attracting our special attention to the EU. This short study is based on enquete analysis regarding Korean university students' general perception of the EU. HUFS-HRI EU Centre has excuted a nation-wide survey in order to investigate the students' perception of the EU in the end of 2011. The total number of interviewees was 1,766. The analysis result of this enquete seems to be quite interesting, which can be summarized as follows. Most students are well aware of existence of the EU, but they have shown at the same time their poor knowledge regarding history, organization, institutional aspects, composition, competence of the EU and they perceive the EU as a kind of regional economic block. Majority of interviewees are expecting that Korea-EU FTA will be advantageous to Korea. And they also believe that the EU and Eurozone will be intact in spite of sporadic obstacles such as present financial crisis. The most striking result of this survey is that only 1.1% of all interviewees consider the EU as the most important power to Korea. That 1.1% is good for the 4th place, after the USA, China and Japan. Furthermore majority believes that the EU would play no significant role in the Korean reunification. In order to foster the Korean university students' in-depth knowledge and understanding on the EU - which is indispensable for sustaining development of the Korea-EU mutual relations - following measures should be implemented: intensifying the EU related academic programmes, scaling up the EU related courses, promoting the EU related research activities, enhancing the academic exchange programmes, introducing various students participating programmes such as essay contests, ucc contest etc., implementing various outreach activities, building up information and knowledge distribution network for the conventional media such as newspaper and television as well as new media like smart-phone, facebook and twitter, and vitalizing the academic exchange programme such as Erasmus Mundus and ICI-ECP. The role of 4 EU Centres established in Korea is also very important. In cooperation with 3 EU related national academic societies, the EU Centres has to find common agendas and subsequently needed action programmes encouraging the EU related educational and research activities.
