creating new value with the goal of advancement to a university leading creative education - practical research
I sincerely welcome you to Korea University Sejong Campus. Founded in 1980, Korea University Sejong Campus has achieved significant changes and development while overcoming numerous challenges and crises. Based on the efforts dedicated in the past 40 years, KUS is committed to leading profound change and creating new value through “creative education” and “practical research” with a goal of pioneering the next 100 years. To foster talents equipped with professional knowledge and expertise, KUS is proposing new vision and strategies centering on three innovation points.
First is “educational innovation,” which is needed in the New Normal era; second is “research innovation” to lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and third is “regional innovation” to contribute to the completion of the nation’s new capital. Guided by the philosophy of helping students unleash their full potential, we organized an educational curriculum for students to possess digital literacy and humanities knowledge, and we are pursuing a new educational method that involves coaching students instead of teaching them as in the past.
KUS established five new advanced departments to become a first mover in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and to stand at the forefront of fostering talents and conducting high-quality research to lead future industries. We are also constantly nurturing creative individuals who are capable of solving substantial issues confronted by our society by operating eight research education teams for the Level 4 BK21 project.
KUS is conducting a number of cooperation activities in the region in order to move forward as a central university in the new capital area by using the established human and material infrastructure. We are performing our duty and role to “grow with the community” by recently launching the Local Contribution Committee to discuss joint development with the region.
KUS will take steady steps towards becoming a “university leading practical research-creative education” that represents Korea. Furthermore, we will promote the unrivaled brand “Korea University Sejong Campus” across the globe based on its location advantage and reputation as a cradle of convergence learning.
