• Natural Sciences Campus
The University's modern Natural Sciences Campus was established
in 1978. This campus is situated 45km away from the south
of Seoul, on a 250-acre site.
The campus is home to 5 Schools, 2 Colleges as well as various
graduate schools. The management of the Natural Sciences Campus
is considered a paragon of educational administration in Korea.
When the new campus was built, the idea of a dual campus
system was revolutionary in Korean higher education; this
system remains unique in Korea. Some comprehensive universities
located in big cities have tried to meet the need for expansion
by founding a separate, usually smaller schools in an outstanding
rural area.
This "duplication" has its limits; this sort of
structure creates unnecessary owing to limited faculty, facilities,
and funding. Besides solving the problem of physical expansion,
the separate campus system brought the University limitless
opportunities for growth.
Suwon is one of the cities which preserves the traditional
beauty of the Joseon era [1392 ~ 1910], but it now also flourishes
as a center for business, education and economic research,
thanks to its proximity to major industrial complexes.
In an effort to serve society by building a bridge between
academia and the industrial sector, another initiative TM
the Science Technology Park [STP] TM is being developed at
this campus.
The University, the industries in the surrounding area, and
the government have combined forces in this project.
