Master in 글로벌스마트시티융합전공

The Global Smart City Convergence major at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) examines how digital technology, data systems, and urban planning combine to manage modern cities more efficiently. Students in convergence programs of this kind typically study urban systems engineering, information and communication technology for cities, data analytics, sustainable urban design, and public policy related to smart infrastructure, developing an interdisciplinary skill set that bridges engineering, technology, and city planning. This preparation supports careers in urban planning agencies, technology companies developing smart city solutions, infrastructure consultancies, and government bodies working on digital transformation of public services. The program is offered at Sungkyunkwan University in Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, as a master's degree spanning two years, with new cohorts admitted in March and September of every year. Instruction is delivered in English, allowing an international student body to study smart city development in a country widely recognized for digital infrastructure and technology adoption, gaining direct exposure to Korean urban technology initiatives as part of the coursework. Because the major is explicitly convergence-focused, students often work across disciplines, combining technical skills in data and systems engineering with an understanding of urban policy and design. Graduates commonly pursue roles as urban technology consultants, smart infrastructure planners, data analysts for city systems, or positions at companies and government agencies building the next generation of connected urban services. The program suits students interested in applying technology to practical urban challenges such as transportation, energy, and public services.
