Chonbuk National University

Chonbuk National University was founded in 1947, following the liberation of the nation, by the Provincial fund within the framework of Korean national university system. Its mandate was to nurture the national ethos of pursuing truth through excellence in teaching and research in the ever-extending frontiers of human knowledge. From its inception, the University has grown into one of the major national universities, taking great strides in the fields of arts, humanities, social and natural sciences. Further it has continued serving well for the regional as well as the national interest and aspiration for the better human conditions under the guiding philosophy: Freedom, Justice and Creativity.

We are currently devoting all our strength and effort to enhance our competitive power of education and research for the rank of not only the 10th university in our country but the world’s top 100 universities. All of our Chonbuk National University families and alumni are united together and working on, the 65’s anniversary of establishment, making this year as the first year for the bounce back toward the world. We are drastically seeking for the regional development strategy and reorganizing systems to support students and faculties more efficiently.
