At KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), tuition fees are 6,866,000 KRW per year.

KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), situated in Yuseong-gu, South Korea, offers a bachelor's degree in its Department of Aerospace Engineering, taught in English over four years with a September intake. Aerospace engineering studies the design, analysis, and operation of aircraft and spacecraft, drawing on aerodynamics, propulsion, structural mechanics, flight dynamics, and control systems. Students typically begin with mathematics, physics, and fluid mechanics before advancing into specialized subjects such as aircraft design, rocket propulsion, orbital mechanics, and avionics. Practical components often include wind tunnel testing, computational fluid dynamics simulations, and structural analysis projects that connect classroom theory to the behavior of real flight vehicles. Because the field spans both atmospheric flight and space systems, coursework can extend to satellite design, space mission planning, and materials suited to extreme aerospace environments. Career paths for graduates include aircraft manufacturers, satellite and space technology companies, defense contractors, airlines, and government aerospace and defense agencies, alongside further study at the graduate level. South Korea has an active space program and aerospace manufacturing sector, giving students exposure to a national industry that applies the discipline directly. KAIST's standing as a research-intensive institution means aerospace undergraduates often have opportunities to join faculty research in propulsion, aerodynamics, or satellite systems alongside their coursework. Delivering the program in English enables international students to pursue this four-year aerospace curriculum within a leading Korean science and technology university.
