At this level, Engineering is a bachelor’s degree route for students who want a first university qualification in the field. It suits applicants planning for technical work, further study, or a later move into specialised engineering training.

The options differ in ownership and setting. One university is private and in Pohang, while the others are public. Tuition is published for one university at 8,035,000 KRW minimum; tuition is not published for the others, so those costs need to be confirmed directly with each university.

Before applying, verify the exact engineering programme, total tuition, any additional fees, admission requirements, and the language of instruction. Also confirm the campus city, because only one city is specified, and check whether the degree leads to the area of engineering you want.
