Computer science and engineering refers to a comprehensive area in which students study all items related to computer processing. Students must approach this field from both scientific and engineering view points. Requiring logical deduction and innovative thinking, the core subjects for study in computer science are S/W and H/W design, development, and programming principles; and effective methodology for processing different types of data, theories and implementations by computer.

At the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, students develop specialized knowledge in various fields by taking a diverse range of classes. A University-Industry-Research Joint Research System has also been established in cooperation with domestic and international research institutions and enterprises to further student studies.

With the development and expansion of the computer industry, demand for highly-educated, quality engineers has continuously increased. As such, we grow experts who can take the initiative in the cutting-edge computer industry based on the research and development of advanced computer technologies.

* Curriculum *
There are two fields within computer science. The first studies computers as a physical component while the second seeks to provide solutions using computerized methods. The curriculum of the Computer Science and Engineering Department at Sogang University covers both fields in computer science.

* Post-graduation Career Paths *
Computers are used in almost every field, so the field of entry for graduates is very divers. Many students play an important role in R&D for IT companies such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Google, Mircosoft, Naver, Daum and NC Soft. In addition, financial and consulting companies, financial and consulting firms, and financial venture companies are under way.

Also, if you want to continue your studies after graduation, you can do in-depth research at Sogang University’s Graduate College of Computer Science, and most graduate students are able to do research projects and receive most of your tuition.
