University Mission

Sungkyunkwan University’s mission is to offer world-class education, produce exemplary research, build its reputation, and be global hub with the best knowledge and human resources network.


VISION 2020+ was developed by reflecting on changes in the university’s internal and external environment from its previous strategic plan, VISION 2020. As a middle stage between VISION 2020 and VISION 2030, VISION 2020+ is very important for the examination of SKKU’s performance and will help revise and develop the University's core projects. Therefore, VISION 2020+ maintains the objectives and systems of VISION 2020 but pursues changes in its top five strategies. Sungkyunkwan University is aiming to become a global leading university through VISION 2020+. With world-class education and exemplary research achievements, SKKU will secure the university’s reputation both domestically and abroad and emerge as a global hub with the best knowledge and human resources network.
