[2027 Early Admission] Hanbat National University Strengthens Regional and Industry Collaboration...2,053 Students to Be Selected

339 Regional Talent Students to Be Selected
New School Record-Based (Social Integration) Track Introduced

Hanbat National University will select 2,053 students for the 2027 academic year early admission, representing 94.7% of the total intake. With a 99-year history of growth alongside industrial development, Hanbat National University is at the forefront of regional innovation through collaboration among local governments, industries, academia, and research institutes. In particular, by establishing new departments in advanced fields such as semiconductors, aerospace defense, artificial intelligence (AI), and healthcare, and by being selected for government-funded support programs, the university has enhanced its competitiveness.

In this early admission round, 1,181 students will be selected through the school record-based selection method. This method weighs academic achievement at 90% and attendance at 10%, and does not apply the minimum requirement for the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). A total of 13 subjects are evaluated based on the highest-scoring courses among Korean, English, mathematics, social studies, and science, and the top three career choice subjects account for 10% of the total score.

The comprehensive student record screening is conducted either entirely by document evaluation or through a multi-stage process involving documents and interviews. During the interview, questions are based on the student record, and, to reduce the burden, the common interview questions are released in advance when the first-round finalists are announced—a distinctive feature of the process.

The regional talent selection track provides extensive opportunities for students from Daejeon, Chungnam, Chungbuk, and Sejong, admitting a total of 339 students—160 through the record-based track and 179 through the comprehensive track. Additionally, there is a combined bachelor’s-master’s program selection for engineering disciplines. Eighty-four students will be selected from the departments of mechanical engineering, industrial and management engineering, creative convergence studies, and construction and environmental engineering.

The school record-based (social integration) selection track, newly established, expands opportunities for applicants from socially disadvantaged groups, such as basic livelihood security recipients, those from low-income brackets, single-parent families, and national merit recipients. The Convergence and Liberal Arts University will select a total of 392 students from departments of liberal studies, engineering and construction, information technology & AI convergence, and humanities, social sciences, and economics, strengthening students' freedom to choose their major.

Hanbat National University is focusing on talent development by establishing a hybrid education model that links regular and extracurricular programs through the C+U200 graduation requirement system and the Hanbat Talent Certification system. The university is also actively running international exchange programs, including global cooperation learning, and has signed cooperation agreements with 184 universities in 46 countries to enhance students’ global sensibility. Early application will be open from September 7 to 11, 2026.
