Jeonbuk National University (전북대학교) is one of South Korea's 10 national flagship universities and the main higher education institution for the North Jeolla region. It offers undergraduate, master's, and PhD programs across 15 colleges including engineering, agriculture, natural sciences, education, and medicine.
