School of Transdisciplinary Studies

Beginning of a New Education

Examples of Key Areas

Students at the School of Transdisciplinary Studies take at least 21 credits in the fields of ‘Reading Great Books on Human Intelligence and Civilization’ and ‘Technological Solutions for Social Innovation’ as mandatory major and elective major courses, to build a foundation for transdisciplinary education.

 

Then, students select a Key Area topic that they wish to research and study, and receive advice from their mentor professors to select relevant courses offered at the various academic departments at KAIST and take them as elective major courses.

 

The following are examples of Key Area topics currently being studied by students at the School of Transdisciplinary Studies. The customized program offered by KAIST School of Transdisciplinary Studies is the first of its kind in the world, developed and operated for the purpose of cultivating transdisciplinary talent.
