About University

Hanyang University ERICA Campus, true to its reputation as the “Mecca of Industry-Academia Cooperation and Innovation,” is a prestigious comprehensive university located in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, the heart of Korea’s industrial development. While inheriting the academic tradition of Hanyang University in Seoul, ERICA is a place where practical education, cutting-edge research, and corporate partnerships are organically integrated on a vast and beautiful campus spanning 400,000 pyeong. ERICA can truly be called a “cradle for nurturing future-oriented talent.” ERICA’s greatest strength lies in its practical education and advanced convergence research based on the “industry-university-research institute cluster.” With 9 colleges and 43 departments/majors in fields such as engineering, software, advanced convergence, design, and arts & sports, the engineering programs in particular are recognized as among the best in Korea. Departments specializing in future industries such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and marine convergence stand out. For example, through joint research between the Department of Electronic Engineering, the College of Design, and the College of Medicine at the Seoul Campus, ERICA has secured 900 million KRW in government research funding, setting a successful model for practical industry-academia cooperation. ERICA has been ranked in the domestic Top 10 for six consecutive years since 2015 in the JoongAng Ilbo University Rankings, and has received an S grade in the 2024 University Innovation Support Project for educational innovation, with both government and media recognizing its innovation and competitiveness. Hanyang University ERICA has produced renowned talents from all walks of life. Not only have leading Korean actors such as Lee Byung-hun, Jung Sun-kyung, and Lee Young-ae studied here, but also film director Park Kyu-tae, jazz musician Jung Kwang-soo, and other leaders in various fields have grown at ERICA. Many alumni have excelled in practical music, film, and design, leaving a significant mark in the cultural and arts sectors. Furthermore, Hanyang University is also known for its commitment to social responsibility and sharing, having established Korea’s first volunteer corps and alumni volunteer group. Support for international students is also among the best in Korea. ERICA Campus holds IEQAS (Ministry of Education International Education Quality Assurance System) certification, providing preferential benefits in visa issuance, scholarship applications, and more. Various scholarship programs such as the Hanyang International Excellence Award (HIEA) and TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) scholarships, as well as the expansion of English tracks and English-taught courses, have minimized language barriers. The campus’s Office of International Affairs offers tailored services for international students, covering visas, insurance, psychological counseling, and employment support. Practical support programs include exclusive dormitories, living guidance, cultural exchange, and career academies for international students. Each year, students from over 50 countries study at ERICA, and its global network is rapidly expanding. Campus life is another point of pride for ERICA. The campus, built on a 400,000 pyeong site rivaling Everland, is renowned as “the most walkable university in Korea” thanks to its two lakes and beautiful landscaping that changes with the seasons. Students enjoy a pleasant environment with welfare facilities, advanced research buildings, sports centers, and dormitories, as well as convenient transportation connecting Seoul and the metropolitan area.
