University of changing the world with specialized training
Hanseo University’s School of Aeronautical Science was recognized in 2011 by the Korean University Accreditation Institute as the nation’s first "Specialized University for Training Professional Workforce in Specialized Industries." It has since evolved to become a leading institution in aviation education, aspiring to be the "best" in addition to being the "first."
At the Taean Campus, the School of Aeronautical Science provides internationally standardized aviation education not only to domestic and international students but also to the general public. In 2017, Mongolia’s Civil Aviation Authority designated Hanseo University’s four aviation programs—Flight Training Center (Aviation Operation), Air Traffic Control Training Center (Aviation Traffic Studies), Aviation Technology Training Center (Aeronautical Engineering), and Aviation Tourism—as Mongolia’s aviation education institutions. This recognition was made possible by the school’s own runway, control tower, 49 aircraft, and state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.
The School of Aeronautical Science aims to cultivate aviation professionals capable of leading the aviation industry, a key sector in the 21st century, and responding to social and contemporary demands. As of 2024, the school comprises 10 departments: Aviation Software Engineering, Aviation Industrial Engineering, Aviation Operations, Helicopter Piloting, Avionics Engineering, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Aviation Traffic and Logistics, Aviation Tourism, Aeronautical Maintenance, and Aeronautical Mechanical Engineering.
The School of Aeronautical Science, the first in Asia to feature an on-campus airfield, leads specialized aviation education at Hanseo University's Taean Campus. In collaboration with the Flight Training Center, Air Traffic Control Training Center, and Aviation Technology Training Center, the school develops hands-on aviation professionals equipped with practical expertise.
It was the first university in Korea to acquire a Boeing 737, utilizing it for pilot training, maintenance education, and cabin crew training. With a fleet of 49 aircraft, including CJ-1+ jet trainers, along with a control tower, multi-purpose hangars, and comprehensive operational support facilities, the school has become a role model for domestic and international aviation education institutions.
The School of Aeronautical Science consists of six departments:
