Educational purpose and objective
Training multidisciplinary talents through
convergence with various fields
- 1IInnovative
Innovative designer talent training
Pursuit of innovation in curriculumAs Korea's first online design graduate school, we provide innovative design curriculum with theory-centered design thinking, away from practical lessons.
This is the first innovation in that it is the first online graduate major in the field of design, and the second innovation is that it allows ubiquitous learning through e-learning classes. And in terms of the teaching methodology, the third innovation of the curriculum is that it is possible to learn by various teaching methods such as video seminars and critic lectures in the teaching methodology.Training innovation designers
We cultivate innovative designers through curriculum and teaching content that can support the logic of design by providing design theories and systems necessary for designers in practice so that they can become one step ahead based on modern trends.
- 2IInterdisciplinary
Interdisciplinary designer talent training
Pursuit of convergence in curriculumMultidisciplinary academic knowledge according to the purpose and purpose of design, such as design and marketing, design and management, design and culture, design and history, and design and society, is an indispensable element, and we train multidisciplinary and convergent talents through an integrated curriculum.
For multidisciplinary practice, we operate the system flexibly by expanding opportunities to conduct joint projects and expanding opportunities for crossover and completion in other majors and current majors. - 3IInteractive
Interactive designer talent training
Pursuit of interactivity in the curriculumInteractive designer cultivation through interactive courses means mutual communication between professors and students through various online and offline systems microscopically. In a macroscopic sense, it means cultivating 'global talents' who can exchange with the world by learning and understanding the latest global trends through a curriculum that can communicate with the world.
Thus, we first provide the interactivity in class operation and curriculum with various communication methods between professors and students through offline seminars, online seminars, special lectures and practice, and club support. - 4IInitiative
Initiative designer talent training
Pursuit of originality in the curriculumTaking advantage of the characteristics of the master's design curriculum, we design the curriculum based on original contents and practical examples rather than the undergraduate program so that students can learn competitively and creatively. In addition, we train creative initiative designers with planning and strategic thinking through an initiative course that enhances practical and strategic thinking.

Admission Review
Major in Design Planning
Most acquaintances who know him often ask, "Why do you obtain another master's degree in a design graduate school in a different field without trying to obtain Doctor of Business Administration?”
“As a non-design major, I only studied economics and business administration, and in theory, I may know how to read consumers, but I thought I was not good enough when it came to the ultimate way of expression. This part is something I should know as a Brand Manager, but since I was not familiar with this role, I decided it was my weakness. I applied with a desire to supplement my weaknesses, challenge not only in my work but also academically and to develop, and I am studying.”
“Workers like me are highly willing to develop themselves constantly, but realistic approaches to study will not be easy due to real difficulties. Before I submitted my application first, I also had a lot of thoughts. However, as I started class and got used to it, I feel that learning through networking called Online has a different kind of pleasure. In particular, I can learn through mobile devices, so I am having fun with learning as a ‘break time’ when I can listen to when I want to listen at a break, such as during commute or leisure time. I had a question of how to learn design online, but since Hanyang Cyber University's Graduate School of Design focuses on a process to learn detailed design fields such as actual design concepts and planning, the question was naturally resolved. In particular, case-based education is of great help in practical terms. And most of all, I think that even non-majors like me can quickly develop their understanding of design.”
Classmate Gye Jeong-chan expressed his ambition to strive to become a more professional and competitive marketing manager who majored in business management and design by acquiring a balance of professional and practical knowledge of design through the design planning major at the Graduate School of Design at Hanyang Cyber University.
“Everything is difficult to start, but it is people who adapt quickly after they start. There are many difficulties in the real world, but if you want to see the development of 'I' in the future, try it. If you have a longing for learning, do not want to settle down in your current position, and want to run toward a challenge, I hope you can fill it through the medium of online.”
Major in Design Planning
“Design Planning major of Hanyang Cyber University's Graduate School of Design allowed me to study without taking a break from work by taking lectures online and take classes in my native language at any time I want without wasting time on the road, which was an absolutely appropriate learning method for me. I immediately applied through the Internet. Since I am taking classes in a country with a poor internet environment, I asked myself whether I could learn properly, but contrary to my concerns, I am taking classes without much difficulty with a stable online lecture system. Sometimes, when real-time streaming is not smooth, I download the lectures to overcome this environment. Learning while on the go, I use my time efficiently. There are changes in the past and present. In design practice, I started thinking new things, and I started designing with stories in a more logical design process than before. Naturally, the quality of the design also became better and it became easier for me to explain and persuade others about my design. Of course, since I study and work at the same time, I don't have enough time than before I started studying, but these two are not separate, but they are well interlocked like a cogwheel, creating a win-win effect. It is amazing that despite not being active in a physical space with various forms of SNS (Social Networking Service), the bonds between professors and classmates are well formed, creating pleasant and beneficial relationships with new people even from far and abroad.”
Classmate Park Ji-eun expressed her ambition to become a more professional and integrated-minded design planner and interior designer by acquiring a balance of professional and practical knowledge of design through the Design Planning Major in our Graduate School of Design.
“My prejudice 'if it's a design, of course, offline..' was broken. It doesn't seem to be feeding the rice, but it seems to teach how to use chopsticks. It is a blessing to be able to learn from excellent faculty at any time in the most convenient time, in a convenient place, in a comfortable.
Major in Design Planning
“I enjoyed my class at the Division of Design and had a very touching and satisfying college life, while seeing professors who want to make me grow by doing a lot with students. I started my studies at a late age, and it was a lot unfamiliar to me, but the education of the Division of Design, which was well-structured, helped me to grow. Currently, like the Division of Design, I am currently doing a meaningful and enjoyable postgraduate course thanks to the good program and professors who put great effort and good program. Especially, the online seminars and offline seminars during the semester where I can study and develop together stimulate me and help me to live a better designer life. The graduate school's classmates have very diverse and excellent careers in each field, so they broaden my sight by letting me know information in various fields, share my opinions, explore other directions, and develop and create together, which is a very meaningful time for me.”
Classmate Moon Eun-young said as an enrolled student who is experiencing the Department of Design and Graduate School of Design at Hanyang Cyber University. “If you are worried about going to school, please apply without hesitation. I am sure that it will help you grow as a designer in the future through a well-structured curriculum with professors who give you a higher level of instruction than any other graduate school and help you broaden your horizons without being stuck in a frame.”
Major in Design Convergence
“Because I personally had a memory of being swayed by lecture time and attendance, and my work and study became messed up. However, when applying to graduate school, I was concerned about online classes that I had never experienced. The concerns that the quality of classes might be inferior to that of general graduate schools, the idea that graduate school life is not made up of only classes, and these worries concerns really just unfounded fears. The professors at the Graduate School of Design of Hanyang Cyber University had great expertise and enthusiasm. I was able to feel 100% of their sincerity beyond the screen of the online class, and through classes such as offline seminars and major seminars, as well as interviews and counseling with professors, I was able to fill the insufficient touch of online classes. So I am proud that my decision two years ago was the best option.”
In the undergraduate school, he was from the liberal arts not design, and he introduced what he felt while attending the Graduate School of Design as follows:
“I thought the best approach to responding to the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution was to study design rather than learn coding or program. However, it was not easy for a non-major like me to study design. The strength of Hanyang Cyber University Graduate School of Design is here. This is because it is a graduate school where even non-majors can study design, combine their experiences and design, and learn design with a practical, specialized curriculum. In particular, I am majoring in Design Convergence, where students from all walks of life with various experiences and practical backgrounds gather to study design. The convergence is literally happening. New media design planning, modern design, spatial design, design research methodology, design semiotics, design concept and strategy, etc. Doesn't it seem that the era of the 4th industrial revolution is coming in, just by the name?”
Classmate Shin Yang Soon expressed his ambition to strive to become a professional through convergence with design by acquiring a balance of practical knowledge under logical and systematic design thinking through the Design Convergence Major at the Graduate School of Design of Hanyang Cyber University
“As long as we remove the preconceived notion of online, there is no difference at all in our graduate school compared to other graduate schools in all the items that determine the level of graduate school such as members, curriculum, and lecture content. Rather, there are many obvious advantages only of us. Regardless of class time and place, you can listen to lectures at your own pace and method anytime, anywhere, and even repeat them infinitely. The Ubiquitous Graduate School has been implemented, creating an environment where students can study and research as much as they can if they have the will. In addition, the inspiration, ideas and references received from classmates from various backgrounds are also unique advantages. So, if you want to study design, and want to open new horizons by integrating your own experiences and studies with design, I think our Graduate School of Design will be the best option.
Of course, those who majored in design at an undergraduate school, graduated from a related department, or experienced design practice can also deepen our graduate major and study design, and gain various perspectives and insights through exchanges and cooperation with other classmates. I don't know about the first, the largest, and the best that refer to our graduate school, but I think that our graduate school I experienced and studied was the best choice for me, and it will be the best choice for new applicants. Admission applicants will also understand that the moment you think ‘I don't have time to study. The time is not right. it's difficult’ would be the best time to start right away. If so, I sincerely recommend that now is the time, that our graduate school is there"
Major in Design Convergence
“There were many people working in the field of design at Hanyang Cyber University directly or indirectly, but the Graduate School of Design has unexpectedly more non-majors. The reasons for this are that design is broad in scope, continues to expand in the present, which is combined with various fields, and is a link between deep academic studies. Cyber University Graduate School of Design will be the only course in which students can learn in-depth study of design online and offline, and develop design skills through various activities depending on their efforts.”
Through the Design Convergence Major in the Graduate School of Design, Classmate Oh Seung-hyuk delivered the following message to those interested in the Graduate School of Design, as he became able to have a more professional and integrated thinking by acquiring a balance of practical knowledge under logical and systematic design thinking.
“Life is an endless series of learning. Sometimes you need to make bold decisions, and sometimes you need to take a break. Learning may be a bold decision for some and a break for others. I think Hanyang Cyber University will be of great help as an online and offline place where diverse.”
