Pukyong National University Implements 'General Education Course Certification System' ... Providing High-Quality Lectures

Operation of the General Education Course Recommendation Contest for Juniors

Pukyong National University is attracting attention by differentiating itself, such as implementing the ‘Liberal Arts Course Certification System’ to provide students with high-quality liberal arts lectures.

The ‘Liberal Arts Course Certification System,’ which Pukyong National University began piloting last month, is a system that evaluates and certifies liberal arts courses based on self-established certification criteria to help students choose courses and improve the quality of education.

The university evaluates whether the courses are well linked to the core competencies required by Pukyong National University and whether innovative teaching methods are used. Courses scoring 60 points or higher receive a ‘General Certification,’ and those scoring 80 points or higher receive an ‘Excellence Certification,’ with certification marks attached to the syllabi. Students can check the certification marks when registering for courses.

Starting with the pilot operation last month, Pukyong National University awarded General Certification to 17 courses (187 sections) and Excellence Certification to 4 courses (8 sections), and completed General Certification for all required liberal arts courses this month.

Furthermore, by operating certification support programs such as class consulting, the university plans to have a total of 241 liberal arts courses (758 sections) achieve General Certification or higher by the 2026 academic year.

In addition, Pukyong National University held a ‘Liberal Arts Course Recommendation Contest for Juniors’ to allow many students to take excellent liberal arts lectures, and on the 9th, the results were published on the undergraduate college homepage.

This contest was conducted by having students select the liberal arts lecture they most want to recommend to their juniors from the courses they took in the second semester of last year and the first semester of this year, create a video introducing it, and submit it.

The grand prize went to the liberal arts course ‘Child Development and Education,’ the top awards were given to ‘Nutrition and Health’ and ‘Thought and Expression’ courses, which were chosen by students. The excellence awards went to ‘Self-Development and Career Planning’ and ‘Easy-to-Understand Industrial Safety,’ and the encouragement awards were given to ‘Marine Exploration for Basic Scientists’ and ‘Meeting with Robot Experts’ liberal arts courses.

Pukyong National University plans to continuously expand various policies and programs such as the certification system and contests to provide students with high-quality liberal arts lectures and increase student participation in the curriculum.
