Park Jong-baek, head of the Interior Design Department in charge of establishing the department, said, “The newly established DIY Interior Decoration Department can be considered the night class of the Interior Design Department. The Interior Design Department has been recognized and even verified for its skills by top indoor architecture brand companies not only in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk area but also in Seoul and the metropolitan area.”


He proudly stated, “We have promoted industry-academia cooperation for many years with top domestic indoor architecture companies such as Gukbo Design, Samwon SND, Duyang Architecture, and Dawon & Company, cultivating specialized on-site construction technical personnel. As a result, 75.3% of the 2023 graduates found employment at first-tier companies in the metropolitan area.” This means that practical education is firmly rooted and solidified.



The curriculum of the DIY Interior Decoration Department is also thoroughly based on practical work and field experience. The goal is to train ‘practical interior experts’ who possess expertise in both theory and practice necessary for construction, including basics of interior construction such as marking and wall finishing, woodworking skills for furniture making, and drafting for interior design construction.
