HANDONG GLOBAL UNIVERSITY

Master in Dept. of Mechanical & Control System Engineering

Pohang, South Korea Taught in English Open to international students

About the Program

Handong Global University's Department of Mechanical & Control System Engineering offers a master's program taught in English at its campus in Pohang, South Korea. This field combines mechanical engineering fundamentals with the study of control systems, focusing on how machines, vehicles, and automated systems are designed, built, and made to operate reliably. Coursework typically covers thermodynamics, mechanics of materials, dynamics and vibrations, and fluid mechanics alongside control theory subjects such as feedback systems, signal processing, and automation. Students also study how sensors, actuators, and computing systems work together to control mechanical processes, from robotics and manufacturing equipment to vehicles and industrial machinery. A master's program in mechanical and control systems engineering generally combines advanced coursework with laboratory work and a thesis or research project addressing a specific engineering problem, such as improving the precision of an automated system or the efficiency of a mechanical process. Graduates pursue careers as mechanical engineers, control systems engineers, robotics engineers, and automation specialists across industries including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Others move into research roles at engineering firms or continue toward doctoral study focused on advanced control theory or mechanical design. The program runs for four to six semesters, with intakes available in February or March. Because instruction is in English, the program is structured for international students studying engineering in South Korea alongside Korean classmates, an environment shaped by the country's strong manufacturing and technology sectors. With automation and robotics playing an increasing role across industries, graduates trained in both mechanical fundamentals and control systems are positioned to work on the machines and processes that keep modern manufacturing and technology systems running.
