Sehan University

About Sehan University

Sehan University is one institution with two geographically separate campuses. The Yeongam campus is in Samho-eup, Yeongam County, in South Jeolla Province, while the Dangjin campus is in Sinpyeong-myeon, Dangjin, in South Chungcheong Province. Applicants should treat campus choice as a central academic and practical decision because departments, housing arrangements, local transport, and surrounding communities differ. The institution opened in 1994 as Daebul Institute of Technology. It became a four-year comprehensive university under the Daebul University name in 1996, changed its name to Sehan University in 2012, and established the Dangjin campus in 2013. Its current structure includes undergraduate education and a general graduate school offering master’s and doctoral study. Official university activity records and 2026 admissions information indicate that it remains operational. Sehan’s academic footprint is oriented toward professional and applied fields alongside humanities and social sciences. The 2026 organization places nursing, physical therapy, teacher education and several welfare- and sport-related disciplines in Yeongam, while Dangjin hosts aviation, computing, artificial-intelligence, design and public-safety fields. This division means students should verify the exact campus, curriculum, professional licensing implications, and language of delivery before applying. Korean is the principal institutional language recorded for this profile; the university maintains a separate international office and English-language admissions information, but that does not establish that every degree is taught in English.

For Korean undergraduate admission, Sehan University publishes route-specific guidance through its admissions system and South Korea’s official university-admissions portal. The university’s 2026 early-admission guide identifies recruitment units, selection categories, required evidence, scholarships and applicant procedures. Requirements differ by department and admission category, so applicants should use the current guide rather than infer a single university-wide grade threshold or acceptance rate. No verified universal GPA, standardized-test minimum or rolling-admission policy is available for this profile. International undergraduate admission is handled separately. The university states that freshman applicants normally must be foreign nationals with foreign parents and must have completed, or be expected to complete, a recognized secondary-school curriculum. Transfer applicants face separate prior-study requirements. International candidates should obtain the current intake’s Korean- or English-language guide directly from the international admissions office because the general English webpage contains guidance originating in 2023, while newer official notices have been issued for specific later intakes. Deadlines from those older rounds should not be reused for 2026/2027 applications. Graduate applicants apply to a named degree level and department. Official 2026 recruitment information shows assessment through prior academic performance and an oral interview, with bachelor’s-level preparation required for master’s entry and master’s-level preparation for doctoral entry. Program availability is campus-specific. All applicants should verify the exact intake, document legalization or translation requirements, language standard, interview arrangements and payment schedule before submission.

Sehan University’s 2026 academic organization is divided by campus. Yeongam lists undergraduate departments in technology education, special education, early-childhood education, nursing and physical therapy, together with programs connected to Korean language, welfare, physical education, rehabilitation, taekwondo and related applied areas. Dangjin lists aviation service, flight operations, aviation maintenance and traditional performing arts, as well as groupings in artificial intelligence, computer engineering, digital content, public safety and design. The definitive department list should be checked against the admissions route being used because the university has restructured its offerings between academic years. Graduate education is also campus-specific. Official 2026 organization and admissions pages identify master’s study in fields across the humanities, social sciences, health sciences, engineering, aviation, arts and sport. Doctoral and integrated master’s-doctoral recruitment is available only in designated fields rather than across every undergraduate subject. Graduate applicants are assessed using prior academic records and an oral interview, with the university retaining discretion not to admit candidates whose preparation is judged insufficient. The university maintains academic-affairs, teaching-development, field-placement, career and entrepreneurship functions. A 2026 new-student course-registration handbook provides curriculum and academic-life instructions, indicating a structured orientation into registration and institutional rules. Prospective students should compare the curriculum of a named department, its campus, any practical-placement requirements and any relevant Korean professional-licensure conditions. International students should also obtain written confirmation of the teaching language for each course; the availability of international support or an English website should not be interpreted as evidence of an English-taught degree.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is organized around two distinct campuses rather than a single residential setting. Official international-student information describes dormitory provision at both locations, including study rooms, laundry facilities and exercise or recreation spaces. The listed amenities differ: Dangjin information includes restaurants or cafés, study rooms, a fitness center and table-tennis facilities, while Yeongam information includes self-catering facilities, a student cafeteria and a wider list of indoor sports spaces. Availability, room assignment and charges must be confirmed for the relevant semester. The 2026 new-student handbook documents residence-hall rules, shared facilities and controlled entry hours. It also makes clear that residents must pay the residence fee before moving in and follow formal procedures for room allocation and withdrawal. These rules matter for applicants expecting flexible short-term accommodation; housing should not be assumed to operate like a private rental. Institutional support includes a student counseling center, disability-student support, extracurricular education, volunteer activity, career and entrepreneurship services, and campus-based field-placement support. International students are offered orientation and information concerning academics, scholarships, dormitories, insurance and visas, alongside Korean-language and cultural programming. Students should nevertheless confirm which services operate face-to-face on their campus and in what language. The distance between Yeongam and Dangjin makes routine participation across both campuses impractical, even though they belong to the same university.

Location & Surroundings

The Yeongam campus is at 1113 Green-ro, Samho-eup, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do. It is the campus associated with the database record’s city of Yeongam and hosts several health, education, welfare and sport-related fields. The Dangjin campus is at 33 Sehandae-gil, Sinpyeong-myeon, Dangjin-si, Chungcheongnam-do, and hosts many aviation, technology, design and public-safety offerings. These campuses are in different provinces and should not be treated as nearby branches of one urban campus. Applicants need to base housing, commuting and daily-life planning on the location of their specific department. Official 2026 university notices reference campus and local-bus information for Dangjin, while university maps provide separate addresses and telephone numbers for both sites. Transport schedules can change and should be checked shortly before travel. Yeongam County offers a more regional setting in southwestern Korea, while Dangjin is on the country’s west coast in South Chungcheong Province. The profile does not assign a generic urban or rural classification because the supplied database has no verified campus-setting value and conditions differ by location. International students should consider access to immigration services, airports, medical care and off-campus work separately for the campus where they will study.

Costs & Career Outcomes

A current, comprehensive 2026/2027 undergraduate tuition schedule was not located in the strongest official sources reviewed, so this profile does not state an undergraduate price. Applicants should request a fee notice for their exact department and intake, since charges may vary by academic field and additional costs can include housing, meals, insurance, immigration processing, equipment or practical training. The university’s 2026 undergraduate admissions guide describes multiple scholarship categories, but eligibility, duration, academic-progress conditions and interaction with Korean national aid differ. A scholarship should be treated as confirmed only after it appears in an individual award or admission notice. The graduate admissions page available during verification displays tuition using 2025 academic-year figures: master’s tuition of KRW 2,677,000 in humanities and social sciences or KRW 3,141,000 in natural sciences, arts and physical education, and doctoral tuition of KRW 3,505,000 or KRW 3,931,000 respectively. It also lists a KRW 669,000 admission fee. These are historical 2025 reference amounts, not verified 2026/2027 prices. Career preparation is supported institutionally through career and entrepreneurship services, field-placement support and applied curricula. Potential pathways vary sharply by discipline: aviation, health, teacher education and public-safety fields may involve licensing, certification, medical, language or public-service requirements beyond the degree. International students should not assume that graduation automatically produces a Korean work visa or professional eligibility. Employment claims on older promotional pages should be checked against current immigration rules and the requirements of the intended occupation.
