University of Science &

Technology

Welcome to the University of Science and Technology.Facing an era of knowledge-based information, UST isleaping to a world-class university.

UST is leading a featured education system to cope with the era of

knowledge-based information in the 21st century that is

characterized by diversity in every field of politics, economy,

society, culture, and art. Now on top of it, we are preparing a leap

to a university on a par with the world's prestigious universities.

The era of knowledge-based information requires us of challenges,

creative thinking, and enthusiasm for new discoveries and

unprecedented creations.

We cannot catch up with the era of a rapid change in an old-

fashioned way of thinking. UST is focused on cultivating specialists

with profound knowledge, appreciative insight, and open mind to

cope with the rapidly changing world. UST aims to produce

'USTians' of creativity, culture, cooperation, and competitiveness.

UST has a vital vision and a vivid future. UST proposes a new paradigm of education for the new era by trying our

best to produce quality researchers of novel convergence technology, which is a core infrastructure for the

creation of the nation's driving force to sustainable development.

UST will serve as the incubator of youths of science and technology inside and outside of Korea through an

entirely new field-apprentice education system. You - UST students - will have the benefit of a good

infrastructure built for quality education. You can have free access to research know-how that has been

accumulated for decades in the 29 national research institutes sponsored by government. And there, you can

also utilize top-notch research facilities and equipments at your will.

I truly believe that your decision to join UST will bear fruit in your bright future.

Thank you.
