[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Mokpo National Maritime University announced on the 17th that it will accept applications for the 2021 academic year early admission from the 23rd to 6 p.m. on the 28th through JinHakApply.

Mokpo National Maritime University plans to select 88.9% through early admission and 11.1% through regular admission.

The biggest feature of this early admission at Mokpo National Maritime University is that selection is made solely based on the 'Student Record Curriculum' without the 'Comprehensive Student Record Screening.'

Therefore, there is no need to submit a self-introduction letter, and there is no interview exam, boasting a simplified admission process. All departments allow cross-application between humanities and sciences.

The school life record reflects 90% of curriculum grades and 10% of attendance grades, with the grade ratio by year being equal.

Among the 'Student Record Curriculum,' there are eight detailed screening types: top academic achievers, open to all, regional talents, children of seafarers and those with seafaring experience, socially disadvantaged candidates, rural students, graduates of specialized high schools, and recipients of basic living subsidies and lower-income groups.

Multiple applications with different screening types are allowed, so up to six applications can be submitted.

This year, a newly implemented screening type is the regional talent screening, selecting 54 students. The Department of Marine Systems Engineering will select students regardless of gender starting this year.

Compared to the 2020 academic year, the number of departments not applying the minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) score requirement has increased.

Except for top academic achievers, open to all, and regional talents, all departments except the Department of Navigation do not apply the minimum CSAT score requirement, and even in departments where it is applied, the requirements have been significantly relaxed.

Applicants to the College of Maritime Studies must undergo a seafarer health examination and submit a health examination certificate (for deep-sea use). The health examination results are used only as pass/fail criteria.

The Departments of Navigation, Maritime Transportation, Navigation Information Systems, Marine Systems Engineering, and Marine Mechatronics have teacher training programs allowing for teacher certification.

In particular, there are 8 slots each for navigation and engineering tracks, totaling 16 slots. Additionally, all students of the College of Maritime Studies and the College of Marine Engineering can become Naval Officer Candidates through the Navy ROTC program.

Regular admission applications will be accepted in January next year, with selection based 100% on CSAT scores. Transfer admissions will also be accepted around the same time.

Regarding eligibility, since the 2020 academic year, applicants who have completed education at schools other than designated educational institutions can apply, so graduates from general universities can also transfer.

For more detailed information about admission and transfer to Mokpo National Maritime University, please visit the university's admission information website or contact the admissions office.
