  • The application form template is attached.

• Additional Information

• Opportunity to be selected for an industry-academic scholarship

※ Students from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are discouraged from applying for the System Semiconductor Engineering for AI program. This program is designed to provide AI system semiconductor engineering education for students from other departments, excluding those majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering, who already have access to relevant courses as part of their degree. Therefore, in accordance with the program’s purpose, priority will be given to students from other departments during the selection process, making it difficult for Electrical and Computer Engineering students to be admitted.

** As of the second semester of 2020, a policy improvement limits the number of interdisciplinary majors a student can pursue.
⦁ Maximum interdisciplinary major applications per semester: 3
⦁ Maximum interdisciplinary majors a student can complete: 6
⦁ Application eligibility based on the number of interdisciplinary majors pursued:

• Students already enrolled in 6 or more interdisciplinary majors: Not eligible to apply

• Students enrolled in 5 interdisciplinary majors: May apply for 1 additional major

• Students enrolled in 4 interdisciplinary majors: May apply for up to 2 additional majors

• Students enrolled in 3 interdisciplinary majors: May apply for up to 3 additional majors
