Korea has become a global powerhouse of science and technology within a few short decades. Korean companies, research institutes, and universities are at the cutting edge of research and innovation in electronics, telecommunications, chemicals, automobiles, energy, shipbuilding, robotics, and more.

The MIT-Korea Program provides MIT students with opportunities to work in these fields and participate first-hand in the rapidly expanding world of Korean business, technology, and innovation that is having an outsized impact on the world. Students experience the Korean “can-do” culture and a dynamic, leading-edge economy and society built anew on a foundation of science and technology.
