About University

Yuhan University, located in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do—the center of industrial development in Korea—is a private vocational university widely recognized by domestic and international students for its practice-oriented specialized education and innovative industry-academia cooperation. Established in 1977 under the founding philosophy of Dr. Ilhan New, founder of Yuhan Corporation, “Corporate profits should be returned to society,” Yuhan University has focused on nurturing global talent based on entrepreneurship and social responsibility. Its location in the core industrial belt of the Seoul metropolitan area, a curriculum structure specialized in practical studies, and an educational environment with international competitiveness are the distinct identities of Yuhan University. The university’s greatest strength lies in its field-oriented practical education and close ties with industry. Yuhan University is organized into five divisions and 34 departments, offering associate degree and advanced (bachelor’s) programs in diverse fields such as mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering, IT, design, health and lifestyle, and business. In particular, departments that reflect industry trends—such as Computer Software, Game Content, Advertising Media, and K-Entertainment—stand out. For example, the Computer Software major emphasizes practical skills through advanced IT education in operating systems, databases, artificial intelligence, and industry-academia cooperation projects, achieving an employment rate of 83% as of 2024. The K-Entertainment Department operates K-POP and broadcasting/entertainment practice tracks, supporting various career paths such as actor, singer, and media creator in line with the flow of Korean Wave culture. The Advertising Media major boasts strong industry-academia cooperation with leading domestic advertising companies and achievements in competitions, producing creative media professionals. Such departmental specialization and hands-on project experience are the sources of competitiveness that enable Yuhan University students to enter the workforce immediately after graduation. Yuhan University is also recognized for its substantial social contributions and influence in the industry. Its graduates have advanced to leading domestic companies such as Yuhan Corporation and Hanssem Rehaus, and it has consistently produced outstanding talent in IT security fields such as MarkAny, establishing itself as a successful model of field-oriented education. The cultivation of “socially contributive talent” in line with the founder’s spirit has earned the trust of the local community and industry, and in practice, Yuhan University alumni—including software developers, advertising and media experts, and K-Entertainment influencers—are making their mark in the field. In particular, the introduction of customized curricula in collaboration with the government and industry, and the system linking field practice, internships, and employment, are unique competitive advantages of Yuhan University. The support system for international students is also a major point of pride for Yuhan University. As a university certified by the International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS), it offers advantages in stable visa issuance and scholarship applications. Each year, over 500 international students from various countries enroll, and English-taught courses account for more than 30% of all majors, lowering language barriers. Dedicated counseling services and an International Exchange Center for international students, as well as language and life support programs such as an online English clinic and language school, are actively in place. Dormitories are preferentially allocated to international students, and a safe and comfortable environment is provided through various residence halls on campus, such as Gaeseongjae and Yangseongjae. In addition, the university systematically supports international students’ settlement and career planning through government-invited scholarship (GKS) programs, joint and dual degree programs with overseas universities, and internship and domestic employment linkage programs. A variety of scholarship systems relative to tuition fees are also available, reducing the financial burden. A pleasant campus environment is another major attraction of Yuhan University. Located in downtown Bucheon, it offers excellent accessibility from all areas of the Seoul metropolitan region, including Seoul and Incheon. The campus features green spaces, modern facilities, and a variety of amenities such as a student center, library, and gymnasium. Cultural events and club activities for international students are also active, allowing students to experience the true essence of Korean university life.
