Sungkyunkwan University has a long and distinguished history of 609 years. As one of the most significant institutions in Korea, SKK University has played a role in everything from the development of the Korean alphabet to the teaching of Confucianism the underlying social philosophy of modern Korean society.
As a contemporary center of higher education, SKK University has dedicated itself to the pursuit of excellence. SKK University has two separate campuses: the Humanities and Social Sciences campus in central Seoul, and the Natural Sciences Campus in Suwon.
I am very proud of our 250-acre Natural Sciences Campus. This campus is home to state-of-the-art research facilities along with our Science and Technology Park. Taken together; this infrastructure affords our 650 professors and 17,000 students a wonderful research opportunity. I am also proud of our top ranking medical school, the quality of teaching as well as the research affiliation it has with the world-renowned Samsung medial Center.
Our Humanities and Social Sciences campus is home to around 350 professors and 14,000 students. The Humanities and Social Sciences campus was founded in 1398 and its historic buildings have been designated as national treasures by the Korean government. The Humanities and Social Sciences campus is also home to our SKK GSB MBA program which is in collaboration with MIT slogan and also the s-MBA program. Both are taught entirely in English.
The majority of our professors are bilingual, most having obtained doctorate degrees from world-renowned universities. This creates a very interesting and dynamic environment and also one that promotes diversity. I am particularly pleased with the fact that such conditions are equally conductive engendering a hospitable academic and social environment for both our visiting scholars and international students alike.
I am honored to have this opportunity to welcome you to SKK University and hope your experience will be rewarding and memorable.

Warmest regards,

Jung-Don Seo M.D. , Ph.D.
President of Sungkyunkwan University
