Applications are accepted for master's, doctoral, and integrated master's-doctoral programs, and applicants can submit their forms through Uwayapply.

The admissions process consists of a document review and an interview (conducted remotely).

Eligibility is open to graduates of domestic or international four-year universities or those with equivalent or higher qualifications, regardless of undergraduate major.

The department offers a variety of class formats to ensure that professionals working in the pharmaceutical and related industries can smoothly pursue their degrees as part-time graduate students, and also provides networking opportunities for students.

The Department of Regulatory Science was established in 2021 when Kyung Hee University was selected as the implementing institution for the "Regulatory Science Talent Development Project" in the field of pharmaceutical efficacy evaluation, organized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

In 2025, the department was additionally selected for the "Advanced Medical Product Regulatory Science Talent Development Project" and is currently conducting research to establish an educational program foundation for the "Biohealth Regulatory Innovation BRIDGE Talent Development Program for Gene Therapy Product Development."

The department operates with the goals of "establishing an innovative ecosystem throughout the entire biohealth industry cycle" and "enhancing global-level regulatory rationalization and the advancement of the biohealth industry through the training of professionals." It is divided into three tracks: ▲Advanced Biopharmaceuticals ▲Clinical and Quantitative Pharmacology & Therapeutic Science ▲Pharmacoeconomics & Big Data Analysis.

The department offers a variety of class formats to ensure that professionals working in the pharmaceutical and related industries can smoothly pursue their degrees as part-time graduate students.

The "Advanced Biopharmaceuticals Track" is designed to nurture talent in the development of advanced and biopharmaceuticals, focusing on efficacy evaluation technologies for treating emerging infectious diseases and intractable diseases.

Through discussions on the domestic and international regulations of advanced biopharmaceuticals such as gene therapy products, cell therapy products, and extracellular vesicles, the program trains regulatory experts specializing in new drug development.

Courses are taught by faculty from Kyung Hee University's College of Pharmacy and College of Medicine, as well as executives and researchers from relevant pharmaceutical companies.

The "Clinical and Quantitative Pharmacology & Therapeutic Science Track" produces professionals in clinical and quantitative pharmacology and therapeutic science, equipped with modeling, simulation, and clinical trial design capabilities to enhance the efficiency of pharmaceutical efficacy evaluation.

Based on knowledge and research in clinical and quantitative pharmacology, the program trains new researchers and field experts who can design precision drug therapies that reflect the diverse characteristics of individual patients and generate scientific evidence for proposing appropriate drug dosages, administration methods, and precautions for regulatory approval.

Faculty from the College of Pharmacy, College of Medicine, East-West Medical Research Institute, and Clinical Medical Research Institute at Kyung Hee University, as well as executives and researchers from pharmaceutical companies, participate in the education.

The "Pharmacoeconomics & Big Data Analysis Track" trains professionals in social pharmacy who possess pharmaceutical efficacy and regulatory evaluation technologies through the use of real-world data (RWD), real-world evidence (RWE), and quantitative risk-benefit analysis.

This track not only covers RWD and RWE research but also provides education on pharmaceutical economic evaluation, helping students develop the competencies required for the Market Access Team of biopharmaceutical companies. Faculty from the College of Pharmacy, College of Medicine, College of Korean Medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, and Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong, along with executives and researchers from pharmaceutical companies, participate in the program.

Students in the Department of Regulatory Science can develop not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills required in the field through participation in national research projects, industry projects, and global collaborative research. They can also enhance their learning outcomes by taking courses that employ a variety of teaching methods, including self-directed learning approaches.

The department supports graduate students' participation in domestic and international academic conferences and the publication of SCIE papers.

In addition, the department offers extracurricular programs tailored to student needs, such as short-term field training, medium-term internships, and long-term employment-linked fellowships in collaboration with companies and regulatory agencies in the biohealth sector.
