About University

A prestigious institution leading the future of Korean traditional medicine, Daegu Haany University is a private comprehensive university located in Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Dong-gu, Daegu, South Korea. Since its establishment in 1980, under the slogan “A university where students are healthy,” it has boasted the nation’s top-level educational and research environment in the fields of Korean medicine, health, and welfare. As a hub of innovation in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region and a leader in the Korean medical industry, Daegu Haany University has a strong identity as the “center of Korean traditional medicine.” The university’s greatest strength lies in its specialized curriculum for Korean medicine, health, beauty, and wellness industries. Centered around the nation’s only College of Korean Medicine Industry, approximately 8,500 students across 37 departments and 5 graduate schools are growing into talents who will lead the future of medical and health industries. In particular, the College of Korean Medicine enjoys unrivaled prestige in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk area, providing practice-oriented education in connection with various industry-academic cooperation institutions such as the Advanced Korean Medicine Center and the Herbal Medicine Development Research Institute. In addition, students can gain practical field experience even before graduation through interdisciplinary majors such as Korean medicine beauty, food, and rehabilitation, as well as industry-academic R&D projects. Remarkable growth over the past five years—including collaboration with local industries, selection for government-supported projects, and campus expansion—are also sources of pride unique to Daegu Haany University. The university has played a pivotal role in the development of Korean medicine in South Korea, and its alumni, active in various fields, are expanding their social influence. Especially in the fields of medicine, health, pharmaceuticals, and wellness, many graduates recognized for their expertise are working in hospitals, research institutes, and companies both domestically and abroad. By successfully establishing the first industrial convergence model in the field of Korean medicine, the university has greatly contributed to strengthening the competitiveness of the domestic Korean medical industry. Furthermore, it leads social contribution activities such as community health promotion and Korean medical volunteer work, playing an important role in the “globalization of Korean healthcare.” The environment for international students is also a major point of pride for Daegu Haany University. Having obtained IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System) certification from the Korean Ministry of Education, students receive preferential treatment in visa and scholarship screening. A variety of scholarships are available both on and off campus, and support programs for high-achieving and self-financed international students significantly reduce tuition burdens. Language support programs, including English-taught courses and free English conversation classes, are systematically operated, and the International Student Support Center provides tailored counseling and living assistance from admission to graduation and employment. Dormitories, such as the state-of-the-art “Girin Residence Hall,” offer safe living environments, and there are dedicated spaces and active Korean culture experience programs for international students. The campus is distributed across Gyeongsan Samsung Campus, Oseong Campus, and Daegu Innovation Campus, allowing students to enjoy both a pleasant natural environment and advanced infrastructure. Gyeongsan is close to Daegu, making transportation very convenient, and various industrial complexes and cultural facilities nearby enable students to enjoy both study and leisure. With a safe and vibrant campus atmosphere, friendly faculty and alumni networks, and a variety of programs to help international students adapt, Daegu Haany University welcomes you to grow into a “healthy future, global leader.”
