International Application for the Following Position
Ph.D. and Master’s Research Positions at the Structural Engineering Laboratory
The Next-generation Structure Laboratory in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Hankyong National University began its long journey toward becoming a leading research group in South Korea, driven by a passion for architectural and civil engineering. The laboratory currently has ongoing research projects funded by the government. With stable financial support, we are actively conducting research. We are inviting candidates to join our research team.
For Potential Applicants:
Based on government-funded research projects, we are inviting promising international researchers to join our team. Applicants should have enthusiasm for research and good English communication skills. A monthly stipend, settlement support, performance-based incentives, tuition fees, and insurance will be provided by the laboratory. Applicants are expected to publish papers in international journals during their appointment at the laboratory, based on assigned or self-developed research topics. If you are interested in joining our research group, please submit your CV and a brief research plan by email to hju@hknu.ac.kr.
Q1. What’s the difference between structural engineering, civil engineering and architectural engineering?
They are closely interconnected. Please refer to the following related to structural engineering.
- Civil Engineering: Structural engineering of bridge and foundation (usually with knowledge of soil and water)
- Architectural Engineering: Building structures (should consider gravity load and lateral loads such as actions due to wind and earthquake)
Q2. Are courses fully taught in English? Or a student should possess some level of TOPIK to study and understand materials during the learning process?
Courses are not necessarily taught entirely in English. In the English Track, at least 50% of the credits required for graduation must be completed through English-medium courses. Required courses will also be offered in English or through English alternatives whenever possible, and thesis work and examinations are conducted in English in principle.
Students do not need a TOPIK certificate to enter the English Track. However, international applicants must meet the required English proficiency standard, such as TOEFL iBT 71, IELTS 5.5, TEPS 601 (New TEPS 327), or CEFR B2. For admission to the regular Korean-language track as a foreigner, applicants are required to have at least TOPIK Level 3. Learning Korean is still recommended for daily life and communication.
Q3. How much do I need to get paid to survive in Korea?
$600 ~ $900/month would be enough to study and live in Anseong, Korea.
Q4. How long does it take for master’s or Ph.D. course?
It would usually take 2 and 3.5 years to get master’s and Ph.D. degrees, respectively. It could take a couple of more semesters which might be due to some time you need to adapt yourself to Korea.
