About Korea University of Technology and Education

Korea University of Technology and Education (한국기술교육대학교), commonly known as KoreaTech, is a government-funded national technology university in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province. Established in 1992 as one of Korea's specialized engineering institutions, KoreaTech is consistently ranked among the top 10 Korean engineering universities and is closely tied to Korea's major industrial corporations.

Why students choose it

KoreaTech is often described as the "MIT of Korea" for industry-focused engineering education. As a national university with government subsidies, its tuition is dramatically lower than comparable private engineering schools. The UIC English Track allows international students to complete a full engineering or technology degree without learning Korean, making it uniquely accessible.

Campus

The campus in Cheonan features world-class engineering laboratories, a technology innovation center, multiple research institutes, international student housing, a sports complex, and a direct industry liaison office connecting students with Samsung, Hyundai, and LG facilities within driving distance.

Student life

Cheonan is a major industrial city south of Seoul with excellent quality of life — affordable housing, a growing international community, and 40-minute KTX access to Seoul. Students benefit from abundant engineering internship opportunities at nearby Korean corporate facilities.

Our view

Excellent job outcomes at top firms and public institutions. Prime location near major industries. Strong career network with high employment for global students. Balanced theory-practice curriculum makes graduates highly sought after.
