About University

If you dream of becoming a future talent in the cutting-edge field of robotics, Korea Polytechnics Specialized College Robot Campus can be your starting point. Located in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do, this campus is Korea’s first university specialized in robotics, dedicated to nurturing key personnel for the advanced manufacturing and robotics industries of the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. With a clear goal of “practical skills, innovation, and employment,” it features an educational system that emphasizes hands-on technical training and adaptability to real-world settings. The greatest strength of the Robot Campus lies in its operation of Korea’s only two-year degree programs exclusively focused on robotics. Four departments—Robot Machinery, Robot Electronics, Robot Automation, and Robot IT—offer practice-oriented, field-based education, quickly reflecting the latest trends and technologies demanded by the industry. The first graduating class in 2023 achieved an impressive employment rate of 83.3%, thanks to close industry-academic cooperation, a practical curriculum, and tailored career support. Consistently ranked in the top 10 for employment rates among 166 vocational and technical colleges nationwide, more than 8 out of 10 graduates remain employed even a year after graduation, proving the campus’s real-world job competitiveness. Robot Campus goes beyond theory, focusing on producing practical experts ready to demonstrate their abilities immediately in the industrial field. The power of this practice-centered education is evident in alumni who are active in various sectors of society. Among the alumni of not only Robot Campus but also the entire Korea Polytechnics network are prominent figures such as professional gamer Park In-soo, popular broadcaster Agent H, politicians, comedians, and actors like Hwang Deok-jae and Hwang Chi-yeul. Especially, graduates recognized in both industry and popular culture demonstrate that Korea Polytechnics’ practical and open educational philosophy has a positive impact on society. Recently, in line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, talents produced by Robot Campus are taking leading roles in future industries such as advanced manufacturing, automation, and smart factories.

As a university certified by IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System), it offers preferential benefits such as student visa (D-2) issuance and scholarship support. Applicants need only Korean language proficiency at TOPIK Level 3 or higher, and some majors offer courses taught in English. A variety of scholarships exclusively for international students, a relatively reasonable tuition system, and modern dormitory facilities (two students per room, located on campus) ensure a stable living environment.

Part-time work is also legally permitted for 20–25 hours per week, allowing students to gain practical experience while easing financial burdens.
