Civil and Environmental Engineering

The graduate education provided in the Dept. of CEE at KAIST focuses on training world-leading researchers through intensive research activities and tough seminar courses. Along with that, the graduate school puts its best efforts to develop the students into creative and international engineers and scientists. More than a half of the graduate students are provided with opportunities to participate in various international activities (e.g., joint degree programs, lab exchange programs, international conferences) with the government funding from U-city Program (2009~Present), and BK21+ (2014~Present).

Abundant extracurricular activities such as happy hours, departmental parties, school trips, and departmental hiking trips help undergraduates/graduates/professors refresh their minds and promote a family-like environment.
