- Five-year integrated course for master's degree... Customized training for recruitment links from 2024

Along with Samsung Electronics, our university decided to establish an "Intelligent Software Department", a recruitment-linked contract department to foster artificial intelligence (AI) specialized talents, and held an agreement to install intelligent software department at the Samsung Science Information Center on the 22nd.
The Department of Intelligent Software will be operated as a five-year integrated course with bachelor's and master's degree in the Software Convergence University, and Sungkyunkwan University will select 50 freshmen every year from 2024. Students will grow into master-level AI talents through undergraduate-level theory and practical education for 3.5 years (7 semesters) and master's-level in-depth education for 1.5 years (3 semesters).
Freshmen will be linked to joining Samsung Electronics after graduation, and the entire tuition fee will be provided with industry-academic scholarships. In addition, various experience opportunities such as participating in Samsung Electronics' internship program and visiting overseas academic societies will be provided. The establishment of the Department of Intelligent Software is aimed at preemptively fostering professional personnel who will lead the AI field and participating in fostering human resources at the national level.
President Shin Dong-ryul said, "This agreement has laid a bridgehead for continuous cooperation to foster high-quality software manpower," adding, "We will strive to produce software talent that will lead the world and successfully operate contract departments."
"We decided to establish Sungkyunkwan University and the Department of Intelligent Software to build an AI talent infrastructure that will create a new future," said Park Hak-kyu, president of Samsung Electronics' management support division. "We will continue active industry-academic cooperation to contribute to the development of AI technology."
