About University

Located at the foot of Hwangnyeongsan in the heart of Busan, Dong-Eui Institute of Technology has, since its establishment in 1972, nurtured practical talents for over half a century as one of Korea’s leading specialized universities. Boasting an excellent natural environment where the cityscape and sea of Busan can be viewed at a glance from the steep Yangjeong campus, and offering practice-oriented education closely linked to industry, the university has earned the nickname “Korea’s Premier Employment University.” Dong-Eui Institute of Technology is not merely a place for vocational education, but also serves as a hub of innovation leading local industry and society, with a clear identity of fostering “sincere and competent technical professionals.” The university’s greatest strength lies in its “convergent professional education” tailored to the changing times. In addition to its traditionally strong fields of engineering, health, and natural sciences, it offers a wide range of majors including humanities and social sciences, tourism, arts and physical education, and the School of Future Convergence, allowing students to pursue 2-year, 3-year, and even 4-year (Department of Nursing) programs according to their abilities. Notably, it ranks among the top specialized universities in Busan (2nd in employment rate as of 2023), with active industry-customized education, field training, and industry-academia cooperation projects. Strong ties with foundation-affiliated institutions such as Dong-Eui Medical Center (Western and Oriental medicine hospitals) are also a key advantage. The campus features unique natural assets rarely found in urban settings, such as the natural monument Gusanbanryeokam (diorite), dense forests, and mineral springs, along with student-centered infrastructure like laboratories and sports facilities. Specialized majors such as Broadcasting & Entertainment and Airline Services select students mainly through practical tests and interviews, providing field-oriented education that produces skilled professionals recognized by industry every year. The university has also produced many renowned alumni who have excelled in sports, culture, and the arts. These include Kang Kyung-ho (MMA fighter) from the Department of Physical Education, Kim Yong-hee and Baek Sung-il (national American football team coaches), Jung Jang-an (Sepak Takraw coach), as well as famous actors Oh Dal-su and Kim Yoon-seok, earning the university a reputation as a cradle for entertainers and broadcasters. Graduates advance into diverse professions and industries both domestically and internationally, contributing to the development of the local community and Korea as a whole. Dong-Eui Institute of Technology continues to produce field-ready talents and has established itself as a nationally recognized specialized university beyond Busan. For international students, Dong-Eui Institute of Technology offers a gateway to unique opportunities. In 2024, both undergraduate and language training programs were selected as “IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System) Certified Universities,” providing various benefits and trust in areas such as visa issuance, scholarships, and employment. There are dedicated admissions tracks and separate scholarship systems for international students (e.g., KRW 300,000 for TOPIK Level 3, KRW 400,000 for Level 4), systematic support for Korean language and basic studies, and an international student counseling office, all tailored to student needs. The university actively supports the expansion of global networks, industry-academia cooperation, and multicultural exchange. Dormitories are modern, comfortable, and safe, and a variety of on-campus clubs and mentoring programs help international students quickly adapt to Korean university life. The availability of English-taught courses varies by major, but international students are actively encouraged to participate in practical projects and field training. Tuition is on par with the national average for specialized universities, and with ample scholarship opportunities, the financial burden is relatively low.
