[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dong-Eui University (President Han Su-hwan) is accepting applications for the 2021 academic year regular admissions until January 11.

In the 2021 regular admissions, Dong-Eui University will select 1,098 students (944 within quota, 154 outside quota), which is 27.66% of the total recruitment of 3,970 students (including 375 outside quota). The application deadline is January 11 at 6 PM.

As of January 5, after the payment deadline for the 2021 early admissions registration deposit, 2,663 students registered out of 2,872 recruited (within quota), showing a registration rate of 92.72%. The unfilled spots from early admissions will be transferred to the regular admissions for selection.

Applicants can apply to one from each of the three groups in the regular admissions. For the CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test)-based selection, Dong-Eui University selects 100% based on CSAT scores in groups [Ga], [Na], and [Da].

Practical skill-based admissions for departments such as Music, Leisure Sports Taekwondo, Design and Formative Arts, and Physical Education reflect 70% practical skills and 30% CSAT scores. Cross-application between departments is also possible.

In group [Na], the student record-based admissions (rural student track) and student record-based admissions (specialized high school same track) reflect 100% student record grades, while the comprehensive student record admissions (working adult track) for the Department of Real Estate Finance and Asset Management reflect 70% documents and 30% interviews. There is no minimum CSAT score requirement, and applicants who did not take the CSAT can also apply.

The newly established group [Na] CSAT (early employment contract department track) selects 85 students for the Smart Hospitality Department and Future Automobile Department. It reflects 70% CSAT scores and 30% interviews, with no minimum CSAT score requirement.

Kim Sam-yeol, Director of Admissions and Public Relations at Dong-Eui University, said, “Dong-Eui University has already selected four specialized fields closely related to regional industries: Smart IT Manufacturing Technology, Tourism and Convention, Korean Medicine Bio and Healthcare, and Public Administration and Social Welfare Services. We have established our own specialized project groups to expand support in these areas.”

Dong-Eui University is implementing educational innovation in preparation for the 4th Industrial Revolution and focusing on nurturing innovative talents who will lead future industries.

Selected in 2016 for the Ministry of Education’s PRIME Project (Leading University for Industrial-linked Education Activation) large-scale type, the university invested 40 billion KRW over three years, and in 2017, selected for the LINC+ Project (Leading University for Customized Industry-Academia Cooperation), investing 21.2 billion KRW over five years to introduce a collaborative education system emphasizing convergence and fusion.

Additionally, the university has reorganized colleges and academic structures, solidifying its position as a leader among regional universities in the 4th Industrial Revolution. Dong-Eui University also established a Big Data Artificial Intelligence Center within the LINC+ project group, and in July launched the Artificial Intelligence Grand ICT Research Center (with a total budget of 18.75 billion KRW over eight years, including 15 billion KRW from the national government, 1.5 billion KRW from the city, and 2.2 billion KRW from the university).

These two centers are working on securing original data, building big data analysis platforms, conducting AI and ICT convergence intelligent innovation research, and operating regional cooperative AI research and development (R&D) programs.

Dong-Eui University defines its ideal talent as “collaborative talents forming a forest together” and has branded its own education as “collaborative education.”

The university explains that collaborative talents are not only equipped with technical and major knowledge but also possess six core competencies: character and basic literacy, creativity and critical thinking, self-management, glocal (global and local) mindset, sharing, communication, convergence, and challenge achievement capabilities, representing integrative talents.

President Han Su-hwan of Dong-Eui University stated, “Dong-Eui collaborative education is a three-stage major education system consisting of Cornerstone Design in the first year, Keystone Design in the second and third years, and Capstone Design in the fourth year.” He added, “Through the PRIME Project, in 2019, we established Dong-Eui University’s own online learning support platform called DOOR, which has enabled efficient non-face-to-face classes amid COVID-19.”

In last year’s new student regular admissions, 3,355 applicants competed for 819 spots (within quota), recording a competition rate of 4.1 to 1.
