About University

Hosan University, located in Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, is a private junior college offering 2-, 3-, and 4-year programs, with the core value of “Cultivating Human-Centered, Convergent Talent.” Since its establishment in 1992, Hosan University has focused on practical education and industry-academia cooperation under its founding principles of truth, creativity, and service, earning a reputation for nurturing skilled professionals tailored to the rapidly changing industrial field. Situated in Hayang-eup, a key transportation hub in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region, the university offers both convenient access to the city and a pleasant natural environment. Accessibility has been greatly enhanced with the 2024 extension of Daegu Metro Line 1 to Hayang (opening of Hosan University Station). Hosan University’s greatest strength lies in its specialized curriculum focused on practical skills and convergence. The university offers advanced 2-, 3-, and 4-year major programs across diverse fields such as humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, and arts and physical education. By establishing a close-knit industry-academia cooperation system, Hosan University cultivates graduates with real-world employability. In particular, the university provides state-of-the-art facilities and practical training environments in high-demand fields such as global convergence, advanced engineering, and beauty smart care. It was also selected as a recipient of general financial support in the 2022 government’s University Basic Competency Diagnosis. The university’s strengths include not only practical education connected to the field rather than remaining theoretical, but also offering a wide range of options for further study and employment, such as transfer opportunities to major four-year universities like Korea University, Kyungpook National University, and Yeungnam University without entrance exams after graduation. Hosan University is trusted by the local community and industry for its active industry-academia cooperation and tailored talent development. With systematic support from the Hosan Educational Foundation, graduates stand out in various industries and maintain a high employment rate each year. The university also supports students in gaining hands-on experience before graduation through cooperative projects and internship programs with public institutions and large corporations. This field-oriented education contributes to regional economic development and social contribution, further enhancing Hosan University’s social impact. For international students, Hosan University offers special opportunities and support. New students with excellent Korean (TOPIK level 3 or higher) or English (IELTS 5.5 or higher) proficiency can receive up to a 70% scholarship on their first semester tuition and a living expenses scholarship (30% of tuition). High-achieving students are eligible for up to an additional 50% scholarship each semester. In particular, international degree-seeking students may receive a full exemption from dormitory fees (subject to availability), reducing their financial burden. The university also boasts comfortable dormitory facilities, including separate accommodations for men and women, 24-hour resident supervisors, student cafeterias, reading rooms, and communal kitchens. After graduation, students can change to various visas such as D-10 (job-seeking), E-7 (specialized occupation), and F-2-R (residence), and benefit from transfer opportunities to partner universities such as Hankuk University of Foreign Studies without entrance exams. As an officially certified IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System) university, international students can also receive additional points for visas and scholarships, which is a significant advantage. The campus is equipped with both a nature-friendly environment and modern learning and living facilities. Specialized practice buildings such as Hosan Hall and the Creative Arts Hall, various convenience facilities, safe and comfortable dormitories, student cafeterias, lounges, reading rooms, laundry rooms, and communal kitchens are all in place to ensure international students can live comfortably. With excellent access to major cities such as Daegu and Gyeongsan, students can enjoy a balanced university life encompassing study, daily living, and leisure. Hosan University supports your global ambitions as “the best choice for realizing practical skills and dreams.”
