[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] How will the name of Pukyong National University change?

Pukyong National University is attracting attention as it has started a survey on the university name change targeting internal members and citizens of Busan.

On the 22nd, Pukyong National University announced that it will conduct an online survey on the university name change until the 30th, including options to keep the current name or change it to ‘National Pukyong University’ or ‘Pukyong National University’.

This is the first time in 25 years since 1996, when Busan Fisheries College and Busan Technical College merged to form the current Pukyong National University, that a survey on the university name change is being conducted.

The survey is being conducted to select the most appropriate university name based on the fact that it is a national university, the first university in Busan, and a specialized comprehensive university combining marine and engineering fields.

A Pukyong National University official said, “We want to actively promote our status, which has achieved various educational and research outcomes through creative innovation, to the outside world by taking this opportunity to change the university name.”

Pukyong National University prepared four options: ‘National Pukyong University,’ ‘Pukyong National University,’ ‘Pukyong National University (current name),’ and ‘Others.’

The survey is conducted not only for internal members such as students and faculty but also for alumni, parents, partner companies, and citizens of Busan.

As a token of appreciation, Pukyong National University will draw 100 respondents to receive a cultural gift certificate worth 10,000 KRW, and after analyzing the survey results, a second preference survey will be conducted.

The survey on the university name change can be participated in through the university website and other channels.
