Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology

GIST is a member of the research-oriented universities group consisting of GIST-KAIST-UNIST-UST-POSTECH-DGIST.The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) was established by the South Korean government in 1993 as a research-oriented graduate school to train highly skilled scientists and researchers, to create a strong research base for further development of advanced science and technology, and to promote collaborative foreign and domestic research programs within industry and academia.Doctoral students only receive their degrees if they have published more than one work as the first author in scientific journals, encouraging them to be research leaders.And in 2001, GIST became the first Korean university to introduce a thesis quality certification [program], gaining attention from the science field and the media.It is because GIST first started out as a research-oriented graduate school, and as such its undergraduate education can utilize and benefit from the knowledge, infrastructure, and expertise that the research institution already possesses.
