Research shows that males make up 65.4% of Korea's recent doctoral degree holders, while people in their 30s make up 49.4%, people doing study and work simultaneously account for 53.0%, and people majoring in science/technology/medicine, 58.0%. 
Natural sciences (71.5%) and engineering (64.2%) are majors with a high percentage of full-time students. There are significant differences between majors in terms of the percentage of people who study and work at the same time: medicine (72.2%), education (72.1%), sociology (72.0%), and arts/sports (63.6%).
The results show that the average degree acquisition age of Korea's recent doctoral degree holders is 40.9 years old, indicating that degree holders are generally older, while the average time that it takes for a person to acquire a doctoral degree is five years and one month. 
The average degree acquisition time is the shortest in medicine at four years and one month, and is the longest in the humanities at six years and four months.  In order to enhance the competitiveness of Korea's graduate schools, it is necessary to come up with measures for managing the quality of degrees and creating a learning environment where students can devote themselves to their studies, as well as to provide financial support that makes it possible to foster rising research manpower.
