Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has signed two new agreements with leading technological universities in Israel and Taiwan. The agreement are especially important for graduate students in science and engineering, as both institutions offer a range of English language coursework and exciting research opportunities.

Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
Located in Haifa, in northern Israel, Technion is the country's leading science and technology university. Among its faculty are three Nobel prize winners; the Shanghai Academic Ranking (2012) has ranked the university #78th worldwide.

SKKU students can only come to technion as researchers and must contact a Technion faculty member and ask them to be their mentor while they study in Israel. The same procedure applies for Technion students who wish to come to SKKU.

More information is available on Technion's website: www.technion.ac.il/en

National Taipei University of Technology - Taipei Tech
Founded in 1912, Taipei Tech is one of Taiwan's leading engineering schools. Its main strengths lie in engineering, management and design. Taipei Tech offers a variety of taught graduate programs in English, in addition to undergraduate and graduate programs taught in Chinese. Taipei Tech's campus is located in the Daan District in central Taipei.
