Key Summary

About : The Bio and Brain Engineering program focuses on the interdisciplinary study of biological systems and brain functions. Students will gain hands-on experience with research projects that merge biology and engineering. This program offers courses in neuroengineering, biomaterials, and medical devices over the course of two years.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various career paths, including roles in biomedical engineering, neurotechnology, and medical device development. There's also potential for careers in research and academia, as well as positions with healthcare institutions and technology companies.

Our department was established in 2002 based on the monumental donation of Mun-Sul Jeong, whose mission is to foster creative convergence talents in the fields of biotechnology and brain engineering who will lead the future of Korea. Since its establishment, it has grown remarkably until now, and now it has emerged as a world-class department leading bio-convergence engineering.

Our department can be said to be the most brilliantly embodied of KAIST's spirit of 'creativity and 'challenge'.

From March 1, 2015, it was changed from the College of Life Science and Technology to the College of Engineering, which provided an opportunity to reflect on the original spirit of the establishment of the department by pursuing engineering goals based on convergence research. And we have re-established the department vision as follows
