Master in School of Electrical Engineering

At KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), tuition costs 13,853 USD per year.

The School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST covers the design and analysis of electrical and electronic systems, including circuits, power systems, communications, and semiconductor devices. Students study topics such as signal processing, control systems, electromagnetics, and integrated circuit design, building the technical foundation needed to design the components and systems that underpin modern electronics and infrastructure. Coursework typically combines theoretical study of electrical principles with hands-on laboratory work involving circuit design, testing, and simulation. This training opens a wide range of career paths, including roles in the semiconductor industry designing chips and electronic components, positions in telecommunications companies working on communication systems and networks, and jobs in the power and energy sector focused on electrical grids and power electronics. Many graduates also move into consumer electronics, automotive electronics, or research roles developing next-generation electronic technologies. Offered by KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) in Yuseong-gu, South Korea, this master's program takes two years to complete, with instruction conducted in English. New cohorts are admitted in the September and March intakes, apart from KAIST's MBA program, which runs on a separate February intake. The School of Electrical Engineering suits students with a strong mathematics and physics background who want to work on the technology that underlies electronics, communications, and power systems.
