Bachelor in Department of Electrical Engineering

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) covers the design and analysis of systems that generate, transmit, and process electrical energy and information. Core coursework typically includes circuit theory, electromagnetics, signal processing, electronics, and control systems, along with specialized study in areas such as communications, semiconductor devices, or power systems. Students learn to design and analyze circuits and electronic systems, understand how information is encoded and transmitted, and apply control theory to automated systems, building both theoretical and practical engineering skills. Laboratory coursework typically complements the theoretical curriculum, giving students experience building and testing circuits and electronic devices. Given the strength of South Korea's electronics and semiconductor industries, graduates are well positioned for careers in electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, semiconductor design, robotics, and power systems, as well as further graduate study in electrical engineering or related fields. The bachelor's coursework is delivered in English at POSTECH, located in Nam-gu, South Korea, and completed over four years, with a spring and fall intake structure and a current intake planned for 2027. As a research-intensive university, POSTECH offers electrical engineering students opportunities to engage with faculty research in areas such as semiconductors, communications, or control systems. This program suits students interested in the technical foundations of modern electronics and communication systems, and who want an engineering education applicable to a broad range of technology-driven industries central to South Korea's economy.
