KAIST

Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
www.kaist.ac.kr

The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) is Korea’s premier
center for science and engineering education and research. KAIST was founded with
government funding and was initially staffed with a number of Korean engineering and
science faculty educated in the United States.
KAIST is an international institution with all instruction in English for both undergraduate
and graduate studies. The University’s 400-strong faculty conducts internationally
recognized research in cooperation with academic institutions and industries all over
the world. The University has in recent years been recruiting distinguished scholars
from overseas. The current KAIST President, Dr. Nam-Pyo Suh, former administrator
and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT, is a leading authority
in axiomatic design technology. His predecessor, Dr. Robert Laughlin, a Nobel laureate
and physics professor from Stanford University, was the first foreigner to head a Korean
university. There are at present a total of 7,736 students enrolled; 3,223 in the bachelor’s,
2,213 in the master’s, and 2,300 in the doctorate program. International students number
220 and account for 3 percent of all students, with 55 in the bachelor’s, 76 in the master’s,
and 89 in the doctoral program. KAIST had 442 professors and 323 staff as of 2008.

3. Education System
KAIST has a unique, autonomous and flexible academic system. Other Korean colleges
and universities are required to abide by government-directed admissions and curriculum
requirements. KAIST’s “open major system” for the undergraduate program allows a
student to take classes for three terms before choosing a discipline that suits their
aptitude and interest. In addition, undergraduate students are free to change their major
at anytime. About 580 venture companies have been established by KAIST graduates
since 1981, including HandySoft Inc. and Turbotek Co.
