Undergraduate Research

Your transcript cover letter will include recommendations for transfer credits, but determination of credit transfer and course equivalencies is ultimately determined by your home institution. Be sure to speak with your home university regarding credit transfer for this program. If you elect to take Korea language courses, they will appear on a separate transcript from Hanyang’s Institute of International Education. These courses are non-credit bearing at Hanyang University; however, for universities that may award credit, the institute will issue a transcript for the student.

You'll enroll in a research course earning 3 - 6 Hanyang credits, as well as one additional course. The research projects are conducted through Hanyang University and facilitated by host university professors. Research supervisors will review your applications for their project and rank the applications they are willing to accept. A Skype interview with applicants may be arranged to determine placement. See additional course information for a look at previous projects.

You have the option to opt out of the research course and enroll in up to 3 academic courses.

Academic courses are 3 credits each, meeting for 45 contact hours. Some elective courses are 1 credit, meeting for 15 contact hours.

Course registration opens in April, so we recommend students submit all application materials by prior to then to ensure they can register in the first round of enrollment. You'll be able to make changes up until the first week of classes during the add/drop period.

Hanyang University does not pre-approve your course selections, so it is your responsibility to select courses that you are qualified to take while abroad (i.e., don’t take high-level courses if you haven’t taken the appropriate introductory-level courses).

Previous research projects:

• Phycoremediation: You'll be engaged in a lab-scale system for the wastewater treatment using microalgae. You'll follow the batch reactor setup experiments according to the ongoing research projects, get basic training and demonstration of these experiments on the wastewater treatment and waste management, and conduct the research and obtain the research data independently.

• Big Data Analytics Using Industrial AI: You'll learn the basics of big data analytics using industrial artificial intelligence, e.g., statistical methods, machine learning, deep learning. To perform predictive maintenance using Big data, you'll learn how to pre-process a large size of data with a number of variables, extract meaningful features for health indicators, and diagnose anomalies, predict faults, and reasoning for finding root causes of the faults.
