2015OVERVIEWONDGISTAWorld-leadingConvergenceResearchUniversity
Our history as a university is not very long. DGIST began as a small-sized research institute
established by the Korean Government in 2004 and we had the privilege of welcoming our
first class of graduate students in 2011. And last year, with our first undergraduate students,
DGIST finally became a research-oriented university with various innovative programs
provided for students and researchers.
We started small but dreamed big. With a vision 'to become a world-leading
convergence research university', we have differentiated ourselves from the
beginning. Our strength comes from our foundation: an emphasis on
convergence strategy, unique education philosophies and systems, and win-win
cooperation between academia and research.
This innovativeness has already put DGIST in a special place within the landscape
of national higher education and research activities. We will continue to foster
the science talents equipped with our 3C spirits - Creativity,
Contribution, and Care - and to conduct various researches,
contributing to the improvement of our society and the world.
