North Korea's Kim Il Sung University reportedly plans to actively attract foreign students from next year by expanding its major studies available for them.

The Choson Sinro, a pro-Pyongyang newspaper in Japan reported on Saturday that starting next year, international students attending Kim Il Sung University will be allowed to major in various economics and social science studies, including philosophy, law and history, as well as literature.

Kim Il Sung University was established in October 1946 and began to admit international students in 1954, but their majors have been restricted to the Korean language.

The paper said that currently, about 100 students from 33 countries, including China, Russia, Vietnam, France, Mongolia and Britain, are enrolled in the university.
