About University

Located at the heart of Daejeon Metropolitan City’s future industrial center, Hanbat National University is a comprehensive four-year national university with a long tradition, established in 1927. Under the slogan “An Innovative University Creating Future Value through University-Industry Integration,” the university emphasizes practical education and university-industry cooperation, growing alongside the local community. It is especially highly regarded both domestically and internationally in the fields of engineering and IT. The main campus, situated on the boundary between the city center and the high-tech industrial complex in Deokmyeong-dong, Yuseong-gu, offers excellent access to research and industrial networks. Hanbat National University’s greatest strength lies in its “university-industry integrated innovation.” The university comprises six colleges—College of Engineering, College of Information Technology, College of Construction, Environment and Design, College of Humanities, College of Business and Economics, and College of Future Convergence Industry—with 30 departments, 2 divisions, and 4 graduate schools. In particular, it operates the C+U200 education system to respond to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, systematically supporting students in acquiring global core competencies. Taking advantage of its proximity to the Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone, the university focuses on nurturing practical talents through international joint research with institutions such as Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute, 16 university-industry cooperation organizations, and 19 affiliated research institutes. In fact, it is receiving nationwide attention for various university-industry cooperation and startup support projects, and is actively participating in government-supported programs such as being selected for the Ministry of Knowledge Economy’s Innopolis Campus. Historically, Hanbat National University has maintained a close relationship with local industry. Starting as Hongseong Public Industrial School, it developed into Daejeon Public Industrial Middle School, Daejeon Technical High School, Daejeon Technical College, and Daejeon Industrial University, specializing in industrial and technical fields, before changing its name to Hanbat National University in 2001 and transitioning to a general comprehensive university in 2012.
