Dongmyung University is attracting attention by declaring a groundbreaking scholarship system aimed at becoming a glocal university through industry-academia practical education and Do-ing practice education.

Successfully operating the Waterloo-style Co-Op program, Dongmyung University will provide full scholarships for all freshmen in 2024 in the ICT Convergence College’s Computer Engineering, Game Engineering, Game Graphics, Future Automotive, and Electrical Control departments for the entire 4-year enrollment period.

The full 4-year scholarship program linked to corporate education is designed to attract talent who will participate in educational innovation leading to the leap to a ‘glocal university’ and to enhance innovation outcomes.

Known as an ‘employment powerhouse,’ Dongmyung University recently ranked first among private universities in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam with over 1,000 graduates in terms of official employment rate. According to the 2022 university information disclosure, the employment rate was 66.2%, ranking first among private universities in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam region with over 1,000 graduates.

The annual scholarship per Dongmyung University student is 4,385,100 KRW. The scholarship benefit rate per student compared to the average annual tuition fee approaches 62.1%, effectively achieving ‘half-price tuition.’

The ‘education cost per student,’ which indicates the university’s high investment tendency in research funds, scholarships, and other educational expenses for students, is also very high.

A hot issue for Dongmyung University was the approval on May 31 by the Ministry of Education’s private investment project review for the ‘Establishment of the Busan Branch of Gyeongsang National University Veterinary Hospital’ project.

With a project budget of 36.6 billion KRW, a university veterinary hospital will be constructed on the Dongmyung University campus with one basement floor and four above-ground floors, totaling 9,000 square meters. This facility will be larger than the Seoul National University Veterinary Hospital. It will handle not only medical treatment but also the training of companion animal medical personnel.

Dongmyung University has already established a Companion Animal Education and Culture Center on campus and is engaging in profit-generating projects such as the Companion Animal Theme Park project, Jinyeong Complex Rest Area’s pet hotel and pet kindergarten business. On idle land adjacent to the veterinary hospital, facilities such as a pet park, pet kindergarten, and pet art museum will be built, expected to greatly contribute to revitalizing Busan’s new growth engine pet industry.

Regarding this regular admission, Kwak Ok-geum, Director of Admissions and Public Relations, stated, “In the Ga group practical screening (Visual Design, Webtoon Animation), 100% practical skills are evaluated; the Military Science Department in the Da group reflects 50% CSAT + 40% interview + 10% physical fitness test; all other departments in Ga, Na, and Da groups reflect 100% CSAT scores for general screening.”

She added that the lifelong learner screening for adult learners will be conducted in the Da group, reflecting 100% school record grades.

Director Kwak advised, “Students who did not take the CSAT can also apply, but since a minimum score is reflected, support strategies are needed when choosing departments,” recommending consultation with the Admissions Office.

Dongmyung University also offers ongoing consultations via its ‘KakaoTalk Channel’ and telephone counseling. For practical screening and the Military Science Department, videos with preparation tips featuring current students are produced and released on the Dongmyung University YouTube channel to assist students in preparing for interviews and practical exams.

Dongmyung University has established a system to strengthen university competitiveness with a total of nine colleges: College of Health and Welfare Education, Companion Animal College, College of Beauty Arts, ICT Convergence College, College of Architecture and Design, College of Business, College of Media, Do-ing College, and Future Convergence College.
