Dongseo University Selected for the '2nd Cycle University Lifelong Education System Support Project'

Dongseo University has been selected for the ‘2nd Cycle University Lifelong Education System Support Project (LiFE 2.0)’ organized by the Ministry of Education and the National Institute for Lifelong Education.

The Lifelong Education System Support Project is a program that supports universities to create an environment where adult learners can study at universities whenever they want.

This project is divided into two types: ‘Lifelong Education System Establishment Type,’ which starts building an adult learner-friendly university system, and ‘Lifelong Education System Advancement Type,’ which enhances the existing dedicated courses for adult learners. Dongseo University was selected for the ‘Lifelong Education System Advancement Type.’

With the selection for the LiFE 2.0 project, Dongseo University will receive an average of around 1 billion KRW in project funds annually for two years starting this year.

The Future Career College at Dongseo University operates six regular bachelor’s degree programs considering the academic demands of adult learners and workforce needs of businesses, and plans to recruit 200 new students this year as well.

New students are selected through document screening only, without the college entrance exam, targeting adult learners aged 30 or older who have graduated from high school or specialized high schools (vocational high schools) and have worked for more than three years.

The departments offering regular bachelor’s degree programs include ICT Convergence Engineering, Social Welfare Counseling, Social Safety, Senior Exercise Prescription, Sports Leisure Industry, and Practical Content Creation.

Dongseo University plans to expand online classes so that local adult learners can balance work and study, and will conduct lectures through intensive evening classes for 2 to 3 days and Saturday classes.

President Jang Je-guk said, “Being selected for the 2nd cycle lifelong education system support project has established us as a leading lifelong learning hub university in the southeastern region,” and added, “We will do our best to enhance the capabilities of adult learners and build a regional lifelong learning platform where the community and university grow together.”
