Scholarships

About half of the student body benefit from a scholarship program which offers education at a comparatively low cost. In 2015, about 6,000 of 11,500 students benefited from scholarship.[10] The school's current tuition only amounts to 40% of an average private university's costs and 80% of tuition fees charged by other national universities. In 2014, 47% of tuition was reused for scholarships. Seoultech also has a number of funded international cooperation programs, and two joint degree programs with Northumbria University in the United Kingdom.

The Institute for Language Education and Research

The Institute for Language Education and Research (ILER)[11] provides a variety of language programs to serve the university's English, Korean, Chinese and Japanese learning needs. There are currently 26 full-time faculty positions.[12] The ILER has a dedicated language center building which houses all needed facilities: professors' offices, administration offices, conference hall, conversation classrooms with round tables, etc. The ILER is a developing PLC (Professional Learning Community), focused on modernizing curriculum, expanding opportunities for research and publication, and fostering a spirit of intercultural exchange.

Symbols

In March 2014, the university's Public Relations Office held its first Symbolic Committee to determine its symbolism. Following the first questionnaire for teachers and faculty members in April 2013, we conducted a second questionnaire involving 12,807 undergraduate and graduate students in June 2013 in order to enact the symbol of university. The second questionnaire for undergraduate and graduate students who answered 91% of the total enrollment was Daesanbang, Sycamore, and Symbolic Animals. Haitai won the most votes. [1]
