For the 2026 academic year, the minimum academic requirements for the Department of Nursing and the Department of Physical Therapy under both the general and regional talent admissions tracks at Kyungnam University have been revised. Previously, the combined grade of two subjects among Korean, Mathematics, English, and one elective subject had to be within 8 for the Department of Nursing and within 9 for the Department of Physical Therapy. Starting from the 2026 academic year, these requirements have been adjusted to within 9 for the Department of Nursing and within 10 for the Department of Physical Therapy. Additionally, records related to school violence must be mandatorily included in the evaluation.

Kyungnam University operates a variety of programs to enhance students' global competencies. As part of its specialized education for global leaders, the university actively runs overseas exchange student programs with universities in English-speaking countries such as the United States, Germany, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia, as well as in China, Taiwan, Japan, and other countries. In addition, there are diverse international programs, including overseas language and cultural immersion programs in the Philippines, United States, China, and Japan, and the "Philippines Overseas Internship Program" for students in the Department of Nursing, Department of Tourism and Aviation, Department of Physical Therapy, and Department of Social Welfare.

Furthermore, Kyungnam University provides customized employment education through its unique educational brand, "Work Skills Education," which supports students from career exploration to employment. The university actively supports on-site internship semesters and internships to strengthen major-related job competencies, including the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) track, the Hanwha Ocean track, and the Gyeongnam Provincial Council internship for university students. In addition, through an academic system that relaxes the requirements for completing minor and double majors, students are encouraged to pursue various majors outside their primary field of study, thereby increasing their opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship.
