Daejeon University, presenting a new standard for the future of universities, welcomes prospective students through its 2025 admissions. This year, it will select 1,742 students, approximately 97.4% of the total 1,789, through early admission, providing broad opportunities for applicants. In particular, it is helping applicants make rational choices by showcasing an innovative education system and characteristics of each screening process in line with the changing educational environment. This article will examine the main screening processes and characteristics of Daejeon University's 2025 admissions in detail and provide key information for a successful admission strategy.
Daejeon University's 2025 early admission is largely divided into student record-based curriculum, student record-based comprehensive, and practical skills-based screening processes. Among these, the student record-based curriculum screening is the main screening process that selects the largest number of students, including the curriculum interview, curriculum-focused, and regional talent I/II screening processes. The curriculum-focused screening minimizes the burden on applicants by reflecting only the student record grades and attendance, and the regional talent I/II screening provides special opportunities for applicants in the Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungcheong regions. In particular, the Department of Nursing selects 30% of the total admissions, and the Department of Korean Medicine selects 40% as regional talents, focusing on attracting excellent regional talents. Although most early admission screening processes do not apply the minimum academic requirements for the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), the Department of Korean Medicine and the Department of Military Science are exceptions. Therefore, it is essential to check the admission guidelines when applying for these departments.
The Hyehwa Talent Screening, a student record-based comprehensive screening process, reduces the psychological burden on applicants by not accepting self-introductions or teacher recommendations. It evaluates students' potential and capabilities in various ways through a comprehensive document assessment using the school record, and it does not quantitatively reflect internal grades, which is advantageous for students who excel in various activities other than grades. In addition, the Department of Webtoon Animation and the Department of Performing Arts Content reflect 100% of the practical skills test in the practical skills-based screening process, alleviating the burden of reflecting the internal grades in the school record. This demonstrates Daejeon University's willingness to provide more opportunities for students with excellent practical skills.
Daejeon University's 2025 regular admissions accepted applications from December 31, 2024 to January 3, 2025. Regular admissions select students through CSAT-based screening, student record-based curriculum screening (if there are vacancies from early admission), and practical skills-based screening, and they recruit students in groups Ga, Na, and Da. Multiple applications and cross-applications between groups are possible, allowing applicants to apply by leveraging their strengths. General departments reflect the top two areas out of the four CSAT areas, and certain departments, such as the Department of Nursing, Department of Physical Therapy, and Department of Korean Medicine, reflect the top three or four areas. Please note that Korean history is given extra points by grade in all recruiting units.
Daejeon University is building an innovative education system under the vision of 'a new standard for the future of universities.' In particular, through the Hyehwa Liberal Arts College, which aims for the only 'Korean-style liberal arts education' in Korea, students are supported to explore various basic studies beyond the barriers of their majors and to choose 100% of their desired majors. In addition, it provides a differentiated program that integrates life and education by operating a dormitory-style college (HRC, Hyehwa Residential College) for freshmen, providing special scholarships and opportunities to participate in various extracurricular activities. The Digital Convergence University, established in 2020 to lead the 4th industrial revolution era, is also a good example of Daejeon University's future-oriented educational philosophy.
There are several important changes in the 2025 Daejeon University admissions. The minimum academic requirements for the CSAT for the Department of Korean Medicine have been changed, so Korean history cannot be included when reflecting the exploration subjects, and a requirement has been added that each area of Korean language, mathematics, and English must be within grade 4. In addition, as mentioned earlier, the Department of Webtoon Animation and the Department of Performing Arts Content will reflect 100% of the practical skills test in early admission. It is important to carefully review these changes and check the latest admission guidelines on the Daejeon University Admissions Office website (https://ipsi.dju.ac.kr). We hope you will actively utilize various admission-related programs and admission consultations (042-280-2800) to choose the screening process that is most advantageous to you.
Daejeon University provides 'solid fundamentals and special experiences' and is constantly striving to help students reach their full potential. We hope that you can realize your dreams at Daejeon University through the 2025 admissions.
