National Mokpo University (President Song Ha-cheol) announced on the 8th that the enrollment rate for the 2024 academic year early admission, which closed on December 29 last year, has significantly increased by 7.3% (9.1% within the quota) compared to the previous year.

This contrasts with the situation where the number of high school seniors in 2023 reached an all-time low, resulting in a decrease in university applicants, and the early admission enrollment rates of four-year comprehensive universities in the Gwangju-Jeonnam region either declined or showed only slight increases compared to the previous year.


Additionally, the competition rate for regular admission applications, held from the 3rd to the 6th of this month, rose by 0.68% (0.76% within the quota) compared to the previous year, marking the highest increase among four-year universities in the same region.


President Song Ha-cheol of National Mokpo University stated, “Despite challenging conditions such as the declining school-age population, the results reflect the university’s commitment to demand-driven innovation, including 100% guarantee of undergraduate students’ major selection rights, improvement of student welfare such as 90 free daily shuttle buses, and the university’s aspiration to grow with the region as a culture and arts-centered university like the Honey Jam Campus.” He added, “We will continue to strive to grow as a university that represents the region and advances globally.”



Meanwhile, the successful candidates for the regular admission at National Mokpo University are scheduled to be announced on the university’s website on the 6th of next month.
