Yeongjin College Establishes 3-Year 'Global System Convergence Department'

Recruiting 30 People

Daegu Yeungjin College (President Choi Jae-young), a leader in overseas employment, will establish a new three-year program called ‘Global System Convergence’ for the 2024 academic year.

Professor Jung Young-chul, who is leading the establishment of this department, said, “The goal is to train artificial intelligence (AI) software experts who can integrate and apply AI technology across various fields. There is no area in the new technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution, such as autonomous vehicles, intelligent robot control systems, and smart factories, where cutting-edge AI technology is not applied.”

A Yeungjin College official stated, “The newly established Global System Convergence program has a capacity of 30 students. Applications will be accepted during the university’s early admission period starting September 11.”

The career paths for graduates target not domestic companies but global giants in Japan such as SoftBank and Yahoo Japan, as well as AI software specialized companies in the United States.

This department focuses on education in advanced AI technologies such as deep learning and machine learning, starting from the basic concepts of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it promotes practical, hands-on education to implement related software by utilizing these technologies in fields like intelligent robot control and smart factories.

Yeungjin College stated that the Global System Convergence program aims for in-depth education and proper learning through ‘selection and concentration.’

The curriculum is composed only of essential subjects for AI software development, minimizing the number of courses per semester while allocating sufficient time to each core subject so that students can acquire practical and specialized skills.

Professor Jung Young-chul of Yeungjin College emphasized, “Foreign language education for overseas advancement is systematically prepared over three years, from basic to business-level English and Japanese, based on the college’s accumulated know-how in foreign language education for overseas employment. Therefore, students need not worry about their foreign language skills at the time of admission.”

For students who wish to work domestically instead of overseas employment, opportunities to join AI specialized companies such as AWS Korea and NHN are also provided.

The attractive features of the ‘Global System Convergence’ program include overseas field training, global classes with foreign students (Japanese and English speakers), and the Ipdo Seonmae scholarship.

Upon acceptance through the Ipdo Seonmae admission track, students receive a 50% tuition fee reduction scholarship for all three years. Additionally, classes with foreign students naturally help improve foreign language skills. The overseas field training, conducted for 4 to 6 weeks at universities in Japan and the United States, is expected to provide strong motivation to learn about foreign cultures and grow as global talents.

Professor Jung said, “Yeungjin College has successfully placed 646 students overseas in the past six years. Building on the overseas employment network we have established, we will do our best in education and student guidance to produce talents in the emerging AI field within digital new technologies, allowing K-SW talents to demonstrate their true capabilities abroad.”
