Sungkyunkwan University

Sungkyunkwan traces its history to 1398, when it opened under the Joseon dynasty as the kingdom's highest Confucian academy for training scholar-officials. It was converted into a modern institution in the late 19th century and re-established as a private university after Korea's liberation. Since 1996 the Samsung group has been part of its foundation. It operates a humanities and social sciences campus in Seoul and a natural sciences campus in Suwon.
