Bus stops and routes change often, so we do not list them. Open the campus in a map app and tap "Transit" for current bus and metro routes.

Distances are straight-line from the campus coordinates to the station coordinates, so the walk is longer in practice. Sources: Ministry of Education campus coordinates, Korea Rail Network Authority station data (2026-06-30).

Majors for International Students

Below are the actual majors this university admits international students into, and which language track each one uses — transcribed from the university's own admission guide, not the general (domestic-student) major list.

Majors and language tracks for international-student admission are compiled by StudyToKorea from each university's own international-admission guide (모집요강) — not an official government dataset. Always confirm current requirements with the university before applying.

KOREAN TRACK
Foreign National Admission (Outside Quota) -- Broad/General Availability
All departments (the source page does not enumerate a restricted major list, implying broad availability unlike Daegu Technical University)
LOWER-CONFIDENCE DATA: no dedicated 2026 admission-guide PDF, itemized major list, or quota figure was located; the only source is the International Exchange Center's general webpage. Requires TOPIK Level 3+ generally (or 1.5+ years in the university's own Korean-language program, or TOPIK Level 3+ attained during enrollment for language-exchange entrants). A separate web snippet suggests TOPIK Level 4+ is required to graduate (Level 3+ for arts/PE majors), but this was NOT independently confirmed on the primary page. Recommend a phone follow-up with the Admissions Office (053-320-1551~3) to confirm the full major list, quota, and graduation-TOPIK requirement before relying on this entry.
