Program Description

Cultivating international railroad experts with global perspectives! South Korea is a leader in the global high-speed rail market, with its home-grown rail technology and operational know-how. As high-speed train travel spreads around the world, there is a growing demand for experts in all areas of the industry.

Our students learn everything from the basics of road-bed design to the sophisticated aspects of digital signalling, computer aided design, project planning, global logistics, and more that make high-speed train travel possible. Student interaction with our local partner KORAIL (Korea Railroad Corporation), provides an in-depth understanding of railroad practicalities. If you would like to be at the forefront of railroad integrated systems, then our program is the one for you. Job opportunities include positions in private and public railroad administration & management industries worldwide.

This program offers opportunities to gain hands-on experience with public and private companies including Korea Network Research Association (KNRA), Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL), and Hyundai Construction. Due to these partnerships, we can boast one of the highest employment rates for graduates among comparable academic institutions. Students also have the opportunity to participate in overseas internships.

There may be additional costs by this University.
