KAIST to Hold Online Graduation Ceremony Again This Year... 2,712 Students to Receive Degrees
Graduation Ceremony on the Afternoon of the 19th: 668 PhDs, 1,331 Masters, and 713 Bachelors Graduated
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) will hold the 2021 degree conferment ceremony starting at 2 p.m. on the 19th, awarding degrees to a total of 2,712 individuals, including 668 doctoral graduates, 1,331 master's graduates, and 713 bachelor's graduates. Since its establishment in 1971, KAIST has produced a total of 69,388 talents, including 14,418 doctoral graduates, 35,531 master's graduates, and 19,457 bachelor's graduates.
KAIST has particularly established itself as a cradle of high-level science and technology personnel, currently supplying 23% of the doctoral-level workforce in South Korea's semiconductor industry and 20% of professors in domestic engineering colleges. It has also led the venture boom through the activation of student and faculty startups.
This year's degree conferment ceremony will be held primarily online, as was the case last year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. A minimal number of participants, including 83 students (awardees and representative speakers) and 17 officials, will hold the event at four locations: the main auditorium at the Daejeon headquarters, the Turman Hall at the Creative Learning Center, the Jeong Geun-mo Conference Hall at the Academic and Cultural Center, and the Choi Jong-hyun Hall at the Seoul (Hongneung) campus. The remaining participants will watch online.
