About University

Kunjang University College is a private vocational university located in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, and is gaining attention for its practice-oriented education and innovative industry-academia cooperation. Since its founding in 1994, Kunjang University College has simultaneously pursued regional industrial development and the cultivation of global talent. Under the founding philosophy of “Creative Human Education,” it has established itself as a cradle of practical education that leads future change. Situated in Gunsan, an industrial city on the west coast, it offers an optimal environment for students who wish to design dynamic careers at the heart of Korea’s manufacturing and high-tech industries. The greatest strength of Kunjang University College lies in its hands-on education closely linked to the industrial field. With a variety of 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year degree programs, students can design flexible academic paths tailored to their individual careers and goals. Specialized departments such as the School of Engineering and the School of Health and Social Sciences offer curricula that reflect the latest trends and industry demands in each field. In particular, the Department of Nursing has been reorganized into a 4-year program, excelling in practical skills and certification acquisition. In 2021, the university was ranked 27th in the WURI (World’s Universities with Real Impact) rankings, receiving international recognition for its innovation and practicality. The campus provides a pleasant learning environment with student cafeterias, a 3D campus map, and numerous convenience facilities. Most notably, the active industry-academia cooperation network with companies and industries ensures excellent opportunities for student internships and job placement. Although Kunjang University College is not a university that has produced many nationally renowned celebrities or politicians, its social influence shines in the local community and industrial field. Over nearly 30 years of history, it has consistently supplied practice-oriented professionals to the industrial sites of Gunsan and the west coast region, enabling its graduates to play pivotal roles in the local economy and industrial development. These achievements are a source of pride for Kunjang University College as a “small but strong university.” It is also noteworthy that the university has continuously evolved to meet change, as seen in the establishment of the Department of Nursing in 2010 and the restructuring of academic programs in 2018. Support for international students is another point of pride for Kunjang University College. As a university certified for International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS) and accredited by the College Institutional Evaluation, it provides substantial advantages for international students in terms of visa issuance and scholarships.

A variety of customized services, such as Korean language and basic academic support programs, mentoring, and cultural experience events, help international students adapt quickly. Some majors offer courses in English, and classes linked to Korean language education are being strengthened. Above all, staff and faculty provide attentive support for all aspects of international students’ academic and daily lives, enabling them to grow stably even in a new environment.
