Educational Objectives

With the advent of the era of technological convergence in which the boundaries between physical and digital space are blurred due to the 4th Industrial Revolution, creative convergence talents are required to flexibly respond to future social changes and create new things based on artificial intelligence (AI). The Department of Information Convergence, which was newly established in accordance with this trend, is educating convergence AI talents with the ability to solve problems facing the AI society. We are offering a systematic curriculum for data science majors for creation, collection, and analysis of big data through AI technology and for visual technology majors for video content creation, processing, and management. The Department of Information Convergence is waiting for creative talents who will lead the future society led by AI technology.
