About University

Hannam University is a private comprehensive university located in Wanju, Jeollabuk-do, dedicated to practicing “servant leadership” based on its deep Christian tradition and commitment to community service. Since its establishment in 1974, Hannam University has nurtured creative and compassionate talents across a wide range of academic fields, including the humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, and arts and physical education. In particular, the university’s identity of fostering “true global leaders who connect the local community and the world” is realized through an educational environment that combines faith, character, and expertise. The university’s primary strength lies in its expertise in “history education and the humanities.” Beginning with the Department of History Education in 1974, reorganized as the Department of History in 1989, and again as the Department of History Education in 2016, this unique tradition distinguishes Hannam University. Experts in various historical fields—Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Western history (for example, Jo Youngheon in Early Modern Chinese History, Hong Yongjin in Medieval Western History, and Kim Taeung in Modern and Contemporary Korean History)—are directly involved in teaching. The history education program is especially renowned nationwide for its high competitiveness and excellent teacher certification exam pass rates. Through in-depth research by faculty in each major, a systematic curriculum, and systems such as teacher certification and double majors, students can explore diverse career paths. In addition, the university offers an integrated educational environment in fields such as theology, social welfare, counseling psychology, and music, setting it apart from other institutions. As a result, graduates advance into a wide range of fields, including teaching, civic organizations, research, and cultural heritage expertise. Hannam University is also highly regarded for the social impact of its graduates. The university fosters ethical leaders based on close industry-academic cooperation with the local community, partnerships with churches, and a Christian worldview, producing professionals in various sectors. Notably, alumni are active in a wide array of professions, including librarians and records managers, social science researchers, counseling specialists, curators, and writers. In the field of theology, the tradition of training pastors and clergy continues, with Hannam University graduates playing key roles in their denominations and local communities. For international students, Hannam University is an even more attractive choice. The university has been selected for the International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS), and boasts excellent systems for visa issuance, scholarships, and living support. A variety of English-taught courses (basic, intermediate, and advanced English, English I~III) and global programs are offered, enabling non-native English speakers to achieve international-standard English proficiency. There are also robust support systems for international students, including scholarships, reasonable tuition, and on-campus dormitories. The International Student Support Center provides comprehensive assistance from admission to graduation, career counseling, and adaptation to campus life, and offers various exchange programs to help foreign students adapt easily to Korean culture and the local community. The campus is set in a nature-friendly environment, providing a pleasant setting for study and daily life. Its proximity to nearby cities such as Jeonju ensures convenient transportation, and students can enjoy a rich campus life through local cultural experiences, sports, and club activities. At Hannam University, you can grow as a global citizen and build a strong foundation to become a true “servant leader” active on the world stage.
