Daegu Health College

Daegu Health College (DHC) offers practical health, welfare, hospitality, beauty and rehabilitation education in Daegu. Its official international leaflet identifies a specific associate-degree recruitment group and a Korean-language training program. The wider college catalog also mentions bachelor progression and specialist technical graduate study, but those statements do not establish an unrestricted international intake to every department.
