 In 2006 , Sungkyunkwan University and Samsung Electronics collaborated to launch the Semiconductor Systems Engineering program to establish a world - class semiconductor design education and research department . 
 The Department of Semiconductor Systems Engineering is leading development in parts of semiconductor areas globally , and trying to help train competent technology manpower to fulfill the need for technique . 
 With an excellent curriculum and student benefits , we were able to attract the top 1 % of students in the national college entrance exam , and instantly became the No . 1 undergraduate engineering program in Korea . Since this initial success , SKKU has been able to continually recruit top students and build a local and global reputation . 
 1 . Courses & Curriculum 
 The primary educational goal of our department is to produce innovative leaders who are capable of applying theoretical knowledge over a broad range of problems and create rapid advancements in semiconductor technology . Students are taught by both outstanding faculties from SKKU and experts from Samsung Electronics so that they can establish a solid foundation in theory with a thorough understanding of the latest technology . We sustain that the ratio of university lectures and industry lectures is fifty - fifty . Specialists in the semiconductor field , they provide vivid information and direct knowledge about market trends and general information about semiconductors . 
 Starting with the recruiting of highly - distinguished students , in the first year we offer courses to foster innovation and team work . In the second and third years , intensive theoretical and practical courses are offered to let students experience a broad spectrum of problems in semiconductor engineering . In the fourth year , students take courses offered by experienced Samsung engineers and gain hands - on engineering skills to succeed in their future careers . Students can also participate in cutting edge research projects by joining research laboratories led by world class professors . 
 All students gain internship experience at Samsung Electronics before graduation to explore the division that they want to join after graduation , and to be trained by experienced semiconductor engineers . For students who meet certain qualifications , opportunities are given to obtain an M . S . degree while maintaining an employee status at Samsung Electronics . 
 2 . Facilities , Resources and Funding 
 1 ) Facilities / Resources 
 A 7 , 900 square semiconductor research / education building was newly completed in 2008 . It hosts lecture halls , PC / workstation rooms , electronics laboratories , and libraries in addition to group study and club activity rooms . 
 2 ) Funding ( Scholarship ) 
 1 . Provide admission fee and 4 year total scholarship to all enrolled 
 After admission , continuity of scholarship depends on observance of regulations . 
 2 . Provide grants for honored students with high academic achievement ( For First / Second year ) 
 Selection standard follows department regulations . 
 3 . Samsung Electronics provides a loan scholarship ( For Third / Fourth year ) 
 Only for students who passed Samsung recruitment process in sophomore , second semester . 
 4 . Guaranteed employment at Samsung Electronics virtually upon graduation . 
 Possible to retake the test every semester 
 3 . Exchange & Partnerships 
 As an effort to familiarize students with the globalized semiconductor industry , freshmen orientations are held in the U . S . or China . Students visit Samsung Electronics ’ international subsidiaries , world - leading semiconductor foundries or design centers , and other top universities . Students have an option to spend one or two semesters in one of the top universities in the U . S . , China , or Europe , by participating in exchange student programs . 
 Continuing Strong Partnership with Samsung Electronics 
 SKKU is now fostering the development of outstanding human resources for the new era of semiconductor technology in cooperation with Samsung Electronics . As the global leader in the industry , Samsung has placed priority on working with SKKU to develop practice - centered academic training and perform innovative research . The Semiconductor Systems Engineering program is now benchmarked by many other universities as a role model of successful collaboration between academia and industry . Various activities and events take place to get better acquainted . There are climbing tournaments , athletics competitions , membership training for two nights and three days , and so on . 
 Administrative staff are committed to providing exceptional service for educational and career - related subjects that are crucial to the students . We support various extra - curricular activities that can enrich the college experience .
