School of Computing Vision
The School of Computing aims to nurture world-class leaders in the fields of computer science, artificial intelligence, and AI systems. To achieve this, we seek to cultivate talent who will lead the human-centered AI era through interdisciplinary education and research. The department actively invites scholars from related fields to provide world-class education and conduct research in core areas of computer science, artificial intelligence, and AI convergence. Additionally, we are pursuing ongoing industry-academia collaborations with leading domestic and international companies in response to the rapidly changing industrial landscape, and we will actively support entrepreneurship activities in cutting-edge fields within the university community.
To this end, the School of Computing will be newly established with a capacity of 149 students, integrating the existing Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Department of Artificial Intelligence, and the newly established Department of AI System within the College of Computing. Starting in 2025, we plan to admit freshmen into a single department, with students selecting one of the three majors upon entering their second year. This structure will provide students with the opportunity to identify their strengths and choose the most suitable major, enabling them to grow into specialized and adaptable talents in the rapidly evolving fields of computer science and artificial intelligence.
School of Computing Established
The establishment of the School of Computing is a strategic decision aimed at maximizing the synergy between the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Department of Artificial Intelligence, and the newly established Department of AI Systems, with the goal of fostering convergent talent required for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. While each department already possesses excellent educational and research capabilities independently, it was determined that integrating them into one would create even greater value. Therefore, the decision was made to establish the School of Computing.
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering excels in fundamental computing theory and software development, while the Department of Artificial Intelligence demonstrates outstanding capabilities in AI algorithms and data analysis. The Department of AI Systems focuses on developing the ability to implement these theoretical foundations into practical systems. The School of Computing, formed by the integration of these three departments, will share the educational programs of each, offering a curriculum that allows students to integrate and learn a wide range of processes, from basic theory to implementation and application.
Through this approach, students will gain the flexibility to learn by combining various technologies and areas of knowledge, rather than being limited to a single field. This is essential in cultivating talent capable of presenting creative and innovative solutions in a rapidly changing technological environment. In this way, the School of Computing will become the optimal cradle for producing talent with the comprehensive capabilities needed to lead digital innovation in the 21st century.
Interdisciplinary Convergence Education
The School of Computing offers a curriculum in which three specialized majors are closely interconnected, enabling students to flexibly pursue a second and third major in addition to their primary major, chosen during their sophomore year. This educational program is designed to help students gain broad knowledge across various subfields of computing and develop a multifaceted perspective.
Furthermore, by leveraging the strengths of Yonsei University—the largest comprehensive university in Korea—students benefit from interdisciplinary education and collaborative research with diverse academic fields (M.E.S.H.). These opportunities allow them to integrate advanced computing technologies with other disciplines, cultivate creative problem-solving skills, and grow into well-rounded, interdisciplinary talents prepared for the future.
Artificial Intelligence Infra: AI Data Center
The School of Computing offers innovative education and research infrastructure through an AI data center equipped with state-of-the-art, high-performance GPUs. This cutting-edge facility provides a strong foundation for students to excel at the forefront of AI and computing. Students gain hands-on experience in designing and implementing computer software, creatively developing and validating AI models, and designing and constructing advanced AI systems. This dynamic environment goes beyond theoretical learning, equipping students with practical skills essential for real-world applications. It establishes a solid foundation for them to become leaders driving innovation in computing, artificial intelligence, and AI systems.
