Godae Semiconductor Engineering Student Takes Classes in the US... Supported by SK Hynix

All Second-Year Students Complete Major Courses at UC Davis

SK Hynix has taken steps to support the Department of Semiconductor Engineering at Korea University in cultivating semiconductor talent with international sensibility. All students in the department will have the opportunity to study at UC Davis, one of the California State Universities in the United States.

On the 31st, SK Hynix announced that it had signed an agreement with Korea University and UC Davis regarding the dispatch of students from the Department of Semiconductor Engineering at Korea University. The Department of Semiconductor Engineering at Korea University was newly established in March 2021 through collaboration between SK Hynix and Korea University as a semiconductor contract department.

Under this agreement, all students in the department will be dispatched to UC Davis in the United States when they become sophomores, where they will have the opportunity to study for one quarter. They will live in homestays in the Davis area instead of university dormitories and are required to take major courses such as Engineering Problem Solving. Tuition and living expenses will be fully supported.

SK Hynix and Korea University will begin dispatching students starting April next year. In addition to student exchanges, they plan to actively pursue international cooperation with UC Davis in the field of semiconductor research.

Shin Sang-kyu, Vice President of SK Hynix (in charge of corporate culture), said, "This will provide practical help in strengthening the global capabilities of students in the Department of Semiconductor Engineering at Korea University," adding, "We hope that our future members will be able to realize their dreams as global semiconductor experts through valuable experiences at UC Davis."
