Introduction to the Department

The Department of Military Studies at Tongmyong University is the only department in Busan and Ulsan that trains specialized military experts required by the future military. By utilizing the special characteristics of the areas where major Army, Navy, and Air Force units are located in Busan and Ulsan, we have signed agreements with each unit to provide the best educational and research conditions. The faculty consists of excellent personnel such as combat and combat support personnel, policy departments and experienced overseas personnel, and we will continue to invite competent professors to guide them closely for the future of students who will be the cornerstone of the Republic of Korea's defense. As soldiers, we provide military experience and military training to foster basic skills, and we provide customized training to develop into future professional soldiers such as military engineering and weapons systems in accordance with the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Career after graduation

While attending school, you can be selected as a scholarship student for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps (subject to military additional service support) or selected for the school corps and commissioned as an officer upon graduation. When selecting military scholarship students, the entire four-year tuition fee is paid in a lump sum, so a stable college life is possible. After graduation, you will be guaranteed status as a career soldier and a specific government official, and you, your spouse, and immediate family members will receive welfare benefits provided by the state and the military during your more than 20 years of service. In addition, after being discharged from the military, you can work at military-related research institutes such as ADD and KI DA, or as experienced military personnel, emergency planners of major companies, and experienced civil servants.
