Bachelor in Department of Mechanical Engineering

Tuition fees for Bachelor in Department of Mechanical Engineering are 6,866,000 KRW per year.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) covers the design, analysis, and manufacture of mechanical systems, spanning topics from classical mechanics to modern robotics. Core coursework typically includes statics and dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and machine design, building the analytical foundation needed to understand how forces, heat, and motion interact within mechanical systems. Students increasingly study robotics, mechatronics, and control systems alongside traditional mechanical topics, reflecting the growing role of automation and intelligent systems within the field. Laboratory and design coursework typically lets students apply theory to building and testing physical systems, from small components to more complex mechanical or robotic devices. Graduates commonly pursue careers in automotive, aerospace, robotics, manufacturing, and energy industries, as well as further graduate study in mechanical engineering or related fields such as robotics. The bachelor's coursework is delivered in English at KAIST, located in Yuseong-gu, South Korea, and completed over four years, with intake in September. As one of South Korea's leading research universities, KAIST gives mechanical engineering students access to laboratories and research groups working on robotics, energy systems, and advanced manufacturing, providing early exposure to current research problems within a structured undergraduate curriculum. This program suits students interested in how physical and increasingly robotic systems are designed and built, and who want a technical education relevant to manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and robotics industries.
