AboutSungkyunkwanUniversity

Sungkyunkwan University is synonymous with

both tradition and innovation in education. The

literal meaning of the university's name is an

institution for building a harmonious society of

perfected human beings. The founding philosophy

of the old Sungkyunkwan is needed as much as

ever today, in an era of technological advancement

that seems devoid of humanity.
