This master's program in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at POSTECH is offered in English in Nam-gu, South Korea. Computer science and engineering covers the theoretical foundations and practical development of computing systems, spanning subjects such as algorithms, software engineering, computer architecture, artificial intelligence, and networked systems. Students pursuing graduate study in this discipline typically build on undergraduate training through advanced coursework paired with research, often specializing in an area such as machine learning, systems software, databases, or computer hardware depending on faculty research strengths. The field underlies much of the modern technology sector, since progress in areas like software platforms, data processing, and computing hardware depends on the kind of technical training provided in computer science and engineering programs. Graduate research in this discipline commonly involves both theoretical work, such as algorithm design and analysis, and applied projects building or testing software and systems. At a research-focused institution, students are typically expected to contribute to ongoing research alongside completing structured coursework, developing skills relevant to both academic research and industry practice. The program is structured as coursework across two years, with new students admitted in the middle of February or the beginning of September. Nam-gu, the district in South Korea where the university is located, connects the program to the country's broader technology and research sector. Because instruction is delivered in English, international students can pursue advanced computing coursework without first needing Korean language proficiency. Graduates of computer science and engineering programs commonly move into roles at technology companies, software firms, or research institutions, or continue into doctoral study addressing emerging areas of computing research relevant to South Korea's technology industry.
