This graduate school is a center of convergence education and a cradle of convergence research, established by Korea University, Korea's top prestigious private institution, and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, the best national research institute, in response to the demands of the times and society for creative and innovative convergence intellectuals.

This graduate school has a vision to contribute to the sustainable prosperity of all mankind by driving future science and technology with convergence technology and nurturing convergence-type talents for its realization and development. We have world-renowned top faculty in NT, BT, IT, and Medical Science, and students with infinite potential learn and interact across major fields to inspire convergence thinking and develop creative research abilities. Although it is a short period of time, when you see these developments progressing one by one, you can feel that the vision of our graduate school will soon become a reality.

Professors from Korea University with world-class academic achievements and KIST researchers with outstanding R&D achievements serve as co-advisors for each student and provide guidance. This graduate school is particularly attracting attention as a future technology and has strong convergence such as energy harvesting using nanoscience, molecular memory and information transfer, spintronics, graphene, memristor (artificial brain), and biotechnology-medical science technology-based molecular imaging, artificial organs, kinomics, biosensors, stem cells, neuroscience, nanomedicine, etc. In addition, various opportunities such as the study facilities and research facilities of both institutions boasting the highest standards in Korea, practical research cooperation with prominent overseas universities and research institutes, and cooperation with leading domestic industries are wide open for all students.

Our dream of growing into the world's best graduate school of converging science and technology for a future where all mankind is happy will be fulfilled in the not-too-distant future. From the first step of the dream that has already been started, to the powerful step by step and the powerful sprint, please look forward to the Tomorrow Creator KU-KIST Graduate School of Converging Science and Technology that will lead the future.

Thank you.
