We are continuously strengthening our educational environment so that anyone can pursue learning at their own pace.
To supplement its online offerings, the university also organizes various offline special lectures and practical training programs. It offers micro-degree courses designed for intensive, short-term acquisition of specialized skills, thereby strengthening students' practical capabilities.
Wonkwang Digital University also operates an 'Industrial Partner Program' for working professionals, including employees, sole proprietors, and public officials. This program offers a high chance of admission as it recruits outside regular quotas, and employees from affiliated companies automatically receive a 50% tuition reduction. All admitted students for the 2026 academic year will receive a 10% tuition scholarship, with additional scholarships available for mature students, homemakers, employees, and single-person households to reduce financial barriers to education.
We look forward to the interest and support of prospective students preparing for new challenges.
