About University

Under the motto of “Creativity, Truth, and Freedom,” Joongbu University has established itself as a training ground for practical talents who will lead the future of the Republic of Korea. Since its founding in 1983, Joongbu University has developed a unique dual-campus system, with campuses located at the foot of Maninsan Mountain in Geumsan County, Chungcheongnam-do, and in Goyang City, Gyeonggi-do. At this place where history, nature, and the dynamism of the metropolitan area converge, Joongbu University has, for over 40 years, led new educational trends and strengthened global competitiveness based on its founding spirit of “cultivating talents who contribute to the development of the nation and human society.” Joongbu University’s greatest distinction lies in its diverse, practice-oriented academic structure and an educational environment that integrates industry-academic cooperation. A wide range of majors are offered, including Police and Security, Health and Welfare, Performing Arts and Sports, Tourism and Aviation, Engineering, Design, and Comics and Animation. In particular, departments such as Police and Security, Health and Welfare, and Performing Arts and Sports feature curricula linked to practical training, enhancing graduates’ employment competitiveness. The Goyang Campus, taking advantage of its proximity to Seoul, focuses on future-oriented fields such as Entertainment, Broadcasting and Visual Media, Business Administration, and International Trade, making it an attractive choice for students aspiring to enter the culture, media, and business sectors. The advanced Industry-Academic Cooperation Center houses venture companies and industry-academic consortium centers, allowing students to gain practical experience alongside academic learning. The university’s selection as a “General Financial Support University” in the 2021 University Basic Competency Assessment further demonstrates the quality and growth potential of its education. Joongbu University has continuously produced influential talents across various fields. Notable alumni include singer Kim Bum-soo, actor Park Hyo-jun, golfer Jang Jeong, and volleyball player Kim Kang-seon, all of whom are stars in the arts and sports sectors. Alumni active in broadcasting, entertainment, sports, politics, and other areas serve as positive role models for current students and help raise the university’s profile nationwide. With its historic campus at the foot of Maninsan and its location on a site once home to the birthplace of King Taejo Yi Seong-gye, Joongbu University has grown as an educational institution where tradition and modernity coexist, maintaining a steady presence both regionally and nationally. For international students, Joongbu University offers a stable yet global learning environment. Selected as an IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System) certified university by the Ministry of Education in 2023, international students benefit from advantages in visa issuance and scholarship opportunities. A variety of courses are offered in English, and students can choose from a wide range of majors. Well-structured scholarship programs for international students, such as the Foreign Language Excellence Scholarship, are in place. For example, students can receive up to 2.5 million KRW in scholarships based on their TOEIC scores, supporting both academic and language development. On-campus dormitories provide a comfortable and safe living environment, and tailored support systems—including dedicated counseling for international students, career guidance, and cultural adaptation programs—are available. The university also boasts an active global network and exchange programs, offering opportunities for interaction with students from around the world. The nature-friendly main campus at Maninsan in Geumsan and the conveniently located Goyang Campus each offer unique experiences and diverse life opportunities for students.
