The world is becoming an economy that may never enjoy the rapid growth of the past. It is said that the economy is growing backwards due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is quite hard to find the dynamics of the economy as it did in the past. As a result, there needs to be a leap to a new dynamic paradigm. This leap is start-ups.
Sungkyunkwan University’s Graduate School of Global Entrepreneurship is South Korea’s best performing graduate school selected and operated by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups since September 1, 2014. Currently, we are selecting 30 graduate students each year and award master’s degree in entrepreneurship..
Our masters program is a five semester curriculum integrated with theories, practices, and programs that foster practical start-up skills. Especially with the goal of nurturing entrepreneurship talents currently demanded, students will be able to have experts in each field as their professors in order to begin their own start-ups.
In addition, through the Annual Global Competency Reinforcement program, students are able to participate in activities located in Silicon Valley, east of Washington DC, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai of China, and Vietnam. Through these experiences, students are able to analyze trends and markets of global start-ups.
Furthermore, through the community-linked program SFEP (Sungkyunkwan Field Experience Program), start-up courses related to AIBI (AI, Big Data, Iot, Biohealth) will guide students to discover business models, begin their own start-ups, and also conduct consulting businesses.
Sungkyunkwan University’s Graduate School of Global Entrepreneurship will make all efforts necessary to become a graduate school for those with entrepreneurial talent who contributes to the national society and economy, creates employment, and pursues global markets.
Thank you.
