The role of the International Office of KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology)
Hyunsook Min
Coordinaor
International Relations Team
KAIST was established by the government under a special law in 1971 as the nation's first graduate school for
science and engineering education and research. In 2008, KAIST is ranked 95th among the World's Top 200
Universities selected by The Times (of London). In the area of engineering and information technology, it is
ranked 34th
and in natural sciences, 46th. KAIST ranked first in JoongAng Ilbo newspaper's annual evaluation of
universities in Korea in 2008.
KAIST is located at Daedeok Innopolis in the city of Daejeon, 150 kilometers south of the capital city of
Seoul. Daedeok Innopolis is the home to some 60 government-supported and private research institutes, four
universities and 142 high-tech and venture companies. KAIST’s Daedeok and Seoul campuses house seven
colleges (Natural Science, Life Science & Bioengineering, Engineering, Information Science & Technology,
Interdisciplinary Studies, Business, and Cultural Science), eight research institutes and five affiliate schools.
Under its long-term vision of becoming one of the best science and technology universities in the world,
KAIST has focused on research in basic, influential and technically innovative fields. KAIST has founded eight
KAIST (Research) Institutes (KIs) to intensively support researches in core fields of global competitiveness.
The key elements of KAIST’s Five-year Plan (2007-2011) are as follows:
1. Increase the number of undergraduate students from 700 per to 1,000 per year
2. Increase the number of tenure-track faculty to 700
3. Secure government support for doubling our best budget in five years
4. Contribute to society and S & T through original and creative research
5. Improve and increase facilities for education and research
6. Improve productivity and performance of everyone in KAIST
7. Concentrate our resources to solve important problems of the 21st
century
8. Concentrate our resources where we have unique strengths
As of the first semester of 2008, there are 8,217 students enrolled; 3,586 in the bachelor’s, 2,776 in the
master’s, 644 in M.S.–Ph.D. joint, and 1,855 in the doctorate program. International students account for 7
percent of the total enrollment and foreign professors occupy 13% of the total faculty.
To achieve KAIST globalization, we, Office of International Relations, are working hard as follows:
1. To raise international visibility of KAIST
International Presidential Forum on Global Research Universities (http://forum.kaist.ac.kr)
Technical tours to leading international institutions by representative KAIST professors to have
seminars or make presentations on their research areas
Upgrade KAIST International PR
2. To promote international collaboration & exchanges
Increase dual degree programs with internationally renowned universities
Increase courses offered in English
Offer KAIST Summer International Session (http://summer.kaist.ac.kr)
Open KAIST America Office in Silicon Valley & overseas liaison offices
3. Recruitment of international students to the KAIST undergraduate program
4. To realize campus globalization
Organize various cultural activities for international students, faculty, researchers, and their
family members
Open International Student Center
Provide convenience facilities for international students
Designate International Zone areas near KAIST campus�
