Background

- The university: Seoul National University is Korea's leading
university; in rankings, it has always out-performed other Korean
universities, and is the preferred destination of top Korean high school
students. It ranks with the leading universities in the Asia-Pacific
region, particularly in research performance. It has been encouraging
research excellence, and a commitment to supporting the research efforts
of faculty.

- The School of Computer Science & Engineering: We currently have 30
faculty members of almost all areas in computer science and engineering.
But we need to strengthen the areas of computer science foundations,
which was a strong recommendation of our international advisory board
members too.

- Location: The university is situated in a wilderness valley on the
outskirts of Seoul, surrounded by rugged mountains. Yet it is a short
ten-minute bus-ride to bustling shopping areas, where you may join the
highly efficient Seoul metro system, and explore the great metropolis,
one of the World's largest (and highly prosperous) cities. Seoul is
geographically in between Beijing and Tokyo, with two-hour flight to
each city.
