The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, commonly known as KAIST, is a public institution that was founded in 1971. The science and technology-focused university’s main campus – where more than 90 percent of students take classes – is in Daejeon, South Korea. Daejeon is around 85 miles south of the capital city of Seoul. In most cases, tuition costs the same for international and domestic students. Many government- or school-sponsored scholarships are also available for KAIST students, including some that cover tuition and fees in full. The university operates more than 20 student dormitories as well as a few apartment complexes for married students.KAIST has colleges of natural sciences, life science and bioengineering, engineering, liberal arts and convergence science, and business. The university’s academic calendar is semester-based, and the primary language of instruction is English, though some courses are taught in Korean. One of the university’s research facilities is the KAIST Institute, which is made up of five research institutes – KI for BioCentury, KI for Information Technology Convergence, KI for Robotics, KI for NanoCentury and KI for Health Science and Technology – as well as two centers. Around 220 faculty members and 350 students and researchers carry out interdisciplinary research at the KAIST Institute. Undergraduates at the university can earn credit for taking part in research activities through KAIST’s Undergraduate Research Participation Program, which also provides students with financial support. Approximately 200 students participate in the URP program each year.
