Overview
Daeduk University is a Korean college whose English-language website presents a wide spread of two- and four-year-style vocational departments.
Engineering is a major strand, with departments in mechanical design, automotive, electrical, electronics, computer engineering and marine engineering. A distinctive group of departments trains noncommissioned officers for branches of the armed forces, including ammunitions, air defense, special forces, aviation and military engineering.
Other departments cover healthcare and medical administration, hotel and foodservice, police administration, marketing, social welfare, tax service, early childhood education, airline service, beauty, visual and interior design, fashion, theatre and film, and applied physical education. The institution runs an International Cooperation Team that manages agreements with overseas schools and companies.
These links support internships abroad, language study abroad and overseas volunteering for its own students.
Its Korean Language Institute, set up in 2022, teaches Korean and Korean culture to international students and to foreign residents, and helps them settle into life in Korea. Prospective international students should confirm entry requirements, dates and fees directly with the university, since the published language-programme schedule is marked as subject to change.
