Gachon University is recruiting 25 new students for its full-time Early Employment Contract-Based Master's Program, which allows students to secure employment upon admission.

The program is offered in the Department of Next-Generation Semiconductors and operates two specialized tracks: Next-Generation Semiconductor Design and Next-Generation Semiconductor Engineering.

Applications will be accepted from October 21 to November 4, and successful candidates will be announced on November 28.

Admitted students will enroll in March 2026 and obtain a master’s degree after completing three semesters (one year and six months).

Gachon University was selected last year for the Ministry of Education's "Early Employment Contract-Based Leading University Program" and is now operating an industry-linked master's course that enables students to pursue graduate studies and early employment simultaneously.

This program aims to cultivate highly skilled professionals tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies in advanced industries.

The curriculum is designed with a practical focus, reflecting the needs of semiconductor experts and partner companies. Gachon University has established agreements with mid-sized semiconductor companies and high-growth potential SMEs, and the list of participating companies can be found on the Early Employment Contract-Based Graduate School Project website.

Gachon University also offers generous scholarships to students. For the first and second semesters, it covers the full tuition and provides up to 1 million won per month in living expenses. In the third semester, students receive a salary from a partner company while also receiving a scholarship covering 50% of their tuition.
