Dongmyung University, which established Busan’s first four-year specialized game department in 2004, has supplied professional developers not only to the Busan region but also to game companies in the metropolitan area over the past 20 years.

Starting from the 2024 academic year, the Department of Game Engineering will be expanded and reorganized into the School of Game, and a new Department of Game Graphics will be established to strengthen specialized education in the game field.

Yang Young-min, head of the newly established Department of Game Graphics, said, “In-depth and specialized education in the game field has become possible, and feasibility studies for expanding into a specialized college encompassing all areas of gaming, including the e-sports industry, are also being conducted at the school level.”

The School of Game decided to provide full scholarships for four years to all new students of the Department of Game Engineering and the Department of Game Graphics in the 2024 academic year, based on the judgment that securing excellent talent is a key foundation for the success of specialized game education.

The university stated that it is focusing its efforts on establishing an educational innovation model that enables students to enter game companies immediately after graduation through the activation of industry-linked education.
