Ⅰ. Overview of the University

1. History

For over six hundred years, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has held an extraordinarily special place in the history of Korea. Sungkyunkwan’s contributions to the education and training of royals, scholars, and officials by preeminent philosophers have laid the foundation for numerous national advancements. Since its establishment, the school’s educational tradition has emphasized the four principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.

SKKU was founded in 1398 during the Joseon Dynasty. In 1895, the school was officially reformed into a modern university. In 1953, SKKU was promoted to a comprehensive university with the opening of its graduate school. The Natural Sciences Campus in Suwon (Korean Silicon Valley) opened in 1978. In 1996 Samsung Group joined the University Foundation which represents the beginning of an era of unbridled growth for SKKU.
