[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Hannam University recently received approval from the Ministry of Education to establish the Department of Bio-Pharmaceutical Engineering and will recruit its first batch of freshmen this year. The enrollment quota is 40 students.

According to Hannam University on the 18th, the Department of Bio-Pharmaceutical Engineering will be established within the College of Life and Nano Sciences at the Daedeok Valley Campus, linked to the specialized projects in the Daejeon region. This department was created to train specialized personnel in fields such as bio-pharmaceutical material development and verification, toxicity, efficacy analysis, data analysis, and quality analysis.

The university received final approval to establish the Department of Bio-Pharmaceutical Engineering with 40 students instead of adjusting the transfer student quota, in accordance with the Ministry of Education’s ‘2022 Advanced Field University Student Quota Adjustment Plan.’

The establishment of the Department of Bio-Pharmaceutical Engineering aligns with the national and Daejeon city’s industrial specialization strategies responding to the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.

In the ‘Biohealth Industry Innovation Strategy’ announced last year, the government set goals to create 300,000 additional jobs in the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors by 2030, achieve a 6% share of the global market, and foster five major export-driven industries.

Additionally, Daejeon city selected wireless communication convergence, robot intelligence, and biofunctional materials as its three major regional industries.

In response to these social demands, Hannam University plans to operate the Department of Bio-Pharmaceutical Engineering with customized field education through cooperation with companies located in the Daejeon and Chungcheong areas, as well as employment-linked programs and integrated bachelor’s and master’s degree curricula.

Hannam University President Lee Kwang-seop stated, “With the establishment of the Department of Bio-Pharmaceutical Engineering, our university will strengthen its competitiveness in the bio field and contribute to the development of regional strategic industries by producing outstanding talent.”
