Principles

(Research Student) Applicants to the master course can be enrolled as the research students of Department of Safety Engineering in Incheon National University for a semester before matriculation to graduate school. Each advisor guides the applicants in their preliminary study for the master course.
(Assignment to Advisor) In principle, graduate students are assigned to advisors based on their applications. However, Department Chair can rearrange the assignment in case of inevitable circumstances.
(Qualifications to earn a degree) Qualifications to earn a degree are as follows:
- Master’s Degree: To publish a paper to qualified academic journals or To apply for a patent (Via Industry-Academia Collaboration Foundation) at least one case or to present at conferences once
  ※ Papers scheduled to be published within the degree course are accepted as achievements.
- Doctorate(enrolled before 2010): Must satisfy requirements ① and ②.
  - ① To publish two papers to qualified academic journals or to To apply for patents (Via Industry-Academia Collaboration Foundation) for two times and to publish a paper to one of qualified academic journals
    Papers scheduled to be published within the degree course are accepted as achievements.
  - ② In order to request a doctorate to graduate school, a Ph.D. candidate must pass an examination with oral presentation for his/her dissertation, where all faculty members participate as referees. The candidate must gain a majority vote in order to pass the examination.
    Doctorate(enrolled after 2011): Must satisfy requirements ① and②
    ① In order to be eligible for thesis examination, a Ph.D. candidate must satisfy the requirement of either a) or b)
    a) To publish a paper to one of the SCI(Scientific Citation Index) journals as the first author
    b) To publish two papers to qualified academic journals as the first author or To apply for patents (Via Industry-Academia Collaboration Foundation) more than two times and to publish a paper to one of qualified academic journals as the first author
    ※Papers scheduled to be published within the degree course are accepted as achievements.
    ※ Journals : Qualified Academic Journals of equivalent level as SCI(Scientific Citation Index) journals or KCI(Korea Citation Index) accredited or candidate journals
    ② In order to request a doctorate to graduate school, a Ph.D. candidate must pass an examination with oral presentation for his/her dissertation, where all faculty members participate as referees. The candidate must gain a majority vote in order to pass the examination.
- Ph.D. candidate who wants to present his/her dissertation should submit temporary binding of his/her thesis when submitting request for thesis examination. If not, dissertation examination can not be proceeded further.
(Qualifying Examination) For both master’s and doctoral courses, qualification for the qualifying examination is the same as one specified by school regulations. In principle, an applicant should select two out of subjects which the applicant already took.(three subjects for applicants from graduate school of engineering)
