Chungbuk National University is a national university in Cheongju, the capital of North Chungcheong Province in South Korea. It was founded in 1951.
Its colleges cover agriculture and life sciences, engineering, natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, medicine, pharmacy and veterinary science. Having medicine, pharmacy and veterinary science in the same university gives the life-science side a particular weight.
Applicants and researchers should consult the official website for the current list of colleges, graduate schools and scholarship rules, because the structure of departments is revised over time. Students comparing Korean national universities can use the location in Cheongju, the founding date and the list of colleges as a starting point, then consult the official English pages for visa, housing and scholarship guidance.
