Hanbat National University announced on the 27th that it has been selected for the Ministry of Education's '2023 Early Employment Contract Department Leading University (Graduate School) Development Project.'


This project aims to respond to the demand for high-level personnel in the semiconductor field by introducing master's and doctoral programs to cultivate and supply customized talents to local semiconductor-related companies. Students admitted to the contract department are guaranteed employment at semiconductor-related companies upon admission, receive one year of customized specialized education, and from the second year onward, work and study concurrently at the contracted hiring companies.


The university shortens the master's and doctoral education programs by six months, satisfying students' desires for further education and early employment, while proactively securing customized talents for small and medium-sized enterprises and mid-sized companies.
