As a result of the selection, Hannam University will receive 930 million KRW in funding from the Ministry of Education.
In particular, Hannam University was also selected as a pilot university in the newly established ‘Strengthening Transparency in College Admission Screening’ field this year, receiving an additional 300 million KRW in support. Thus, the total funding the university will receive increases to 1.23 billion KRW.

At the same time, we will do our best to ensure a fair and transparent admission process.”
