UST offers an ecosystem for human resourcedevelopment in Science and Technology

Today we are living in a time of unprecedented changes in knowledge system

which is characterized by explosion of new knowledge and information with

fast shortening life cycle.

The conflicts surrounding intellectual property among advanced companies

hint at the start of a new intellectual world war.

Under such dynamic knowledge system, one can develop creative

breakthroughs only by transcending the boundaries of disciplines

for interdisciplinary communication and convergence.

UST was created to train and nurture global research scientists and engineers

who can respond to the needs of the 21st century through interdisciplinary

communications and convergence.

UST was created to train and nurture global research scientists and engineers

who can respond to the needs of the 21st century through interdisciplinary

communications and convergence.

UST was founded in 2003 jointly by 30 government-funded R&D institutes as an institution of advanced education in science

and engineering directly linked to research and development activites. Despite the short history, the UST graduate program is

proved very effective as evidenced by the scientific quality of its graduates. UST students have published high quality scientific

papers in various areas in the world top journals, such as Nature, Science, Cell, and others. As such, UST promises to grow as

a world class university specialized in on-site research education.

Such an achievement has been made possible by the combination of the educational programs of UST and the excellent

research scientists and engineers as well as the superb research facilities and systems of govermnet-funded R&D institutes

which consitute the faculty of UST. UST provides students with not only top-level research mentors but also excellent

environments, in which students can engage in creative research and development.

Based on the achievement, UST is now preparing for a take-off for another transition. we are working on VISION 2025. while at

the same time, upgrading the academic programs, which will set a direction for the development of UST as a model institute

for academic-research-industry collaboration.

UST will focus more on improving the quality of education and thus the quality of graduates as scientists and engineers. Our

effort are greated to an ecosystem that can attract top talents from around the world by continuously innovating curricula and

upgrading research facilities and environments, while at the same time, expanding networks for research and education. we

aim to equip young scientists and engineers with not only intelligence and creativity but also the spirit of risk-taking, on the

basis of which they can generate new knowledge and values and meet the challenges facing the human society.

UST provides opportunities to interact with top-level scientists and engineers with various backgrounds as well as to

participate in in-depth research in diverse areas. UST is a home to professors and students who aspire to create a new future

and will always be open to those who want to realize their scientific potential.
