1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1) About HallymUniversity
According to legend, Han(翰) is defined as an imaginary bird, which flies above other
birds and can see the world widely. Hallym(翰林) defines a group of men of virtue.
During the Tang dynasty in China, people used this bird as a symbol to describe a man
of great erudition and virtue and used to call the group of these great men of all times
and countries gathered together “Hallym(翰林)”. Since we are the university sets on the
aim of Hallym(翰林), the utmost intellectual people, the name of our university
originated from this. The Han-Bie Spirit (翰飛情神) is the spirit of Hallym University
representing the outstanding participants of our school who lead the flow of global
events with high and wide discernment on top of others who are pursuing materialistic
aspects of life. Hallym University is cultivating participants of rich character and
creative thinking, and of advancing academic and cultural promotion. As a result of this
education, we foster a positive attitude in our participants as they address a changing
world, in order to promote research and education in close cooperation with other
research institutions at home and abroad. Also, we endeavor to produce participants
who will contribute to their own individual development, national prosperity, and,
ultimately, to the welfare of all people.
