Degree Programs

The Graduate Program of Architectural Engineering offers four programs: Master’s, PhD,

Integrated Degree, and Undergraduate-Graduate programs.

1. Master’s Program

Students acquire basic knowledge and qualifications as a prospective researcher. The

program only offers full-time courses and spans four semesters. Students who want part-

time coursework while working during the day are advised to apply for the Yonsei Graduate

School of Engineering programs.

2. PhD Program

Through this program, students learn to identify proper research topics, create research

plans, apply for grants, conduct research, and present outcomes. The PhD program offers

both full- and part-time courses, and those who joined the program in 2006 or after are

required to write a thesis in English.

Dual Degree Program

Students will receive PhDs from both Yonsei University and another participating

university upon fulfilling the program requirements.

> Participating universities | University of Sydney.

> Program requirements | Appointment of co-advisor from participating university;

minimum one semester of coursework at participating university.

3. Combined Degree Program

This program is a combined program Master’s and doctoral degree. Students work to earn a

PhD degree without going through a Master’s program.

The Graduate Program of Architectural Engineering at Yonsei University aspires to be

the world’s leading research-oriented architectural program, in line with the university’s

21st-century vision to be a global, specialized, information-based institution. Established

in February 1962, the program has produced more than 1,000 graduates with Master’s

degrees and 150 graduates with PhD degrees. They are active in the country’s leading

research institutes, engineering consulting firms on building structures and environmental

engineering, architecture studios, and construction companies. In total, 150 graduates have

become professors engaged in research and training future architects.

Degree Programs

Degree Requirements at a Glance4. Undergraduate-Graduate Program

Undergraduate students are allowed to apply for this program once, usually in their junior

year (5th and 6th semesters). If accepted, they can start to take graduate courses so they can

graduate early. The selected students may either take courses from the Master’s program or

from both the Master’s and PhD programs.

> Qualifications | The selected students should complete the undergraduate course

in eight semesters with a minimum GPA of 3.3/4.3. If more than eight semesters are

required, an approval should be obtained from the dean of the Graduate School.

> Course Registration | The selected students may take up to 24 course units each

semester (with a maximum of six course units each semester and up to 12 course units

in total). The course units taken from the graduate programs are counted toward the

graduate coursework.

The following lists the degree titles applicable to each program. Generally, they are

categorized according to the area of research and verified by a graduate program advisor

and a thesis advisor.

Architectural Space Design Laboratory

The Architectural Space Design Lab, founded in 1996, has a specific focus on architectural

planning, with its own vision of architectural space renewal and prognosis in the urban

environment. The understanding of people’s lives, emotions, and actions in urban spaces is

viewed as an efficient method for approaching the creation of suitable urban conditions. The

use of a variety of research methods for understanding user-centered design and applying

them directly to planning can aid in creation of human-centered and pleasant urban spaces.

High-rise Building Laboratory

This laboratory was established in March, 2000 as part of the architectural scientific

technology laboratory of the Engineering Institute of Yonsei University. During the years

2005 to 2010, it was chosen to participate in the national research laboratory program of

the Korean Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF) and performed research on the

design, construction, maintenance, and combined warning system guaranteeing skyscraper

stability and usability. By performing this research, the laboratory played a central role in

industry-academic cooperation, by appraising and supervising technologies of government

and companies and through the cooperation of global research institutes. In 2011, it was

chosen for creative research service supported by National Research Foundation of Korea

and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and established the Center of

Structural Health Care Technology in Building. Since then, it has been continuing research

on the development of genetic self-diagnosis and on antiaging technology for architectural

structures. This laboratory contributes to put creative ideas into practical use and provides

high technology for the national construction industry by grafting core technological

development and research in related fields to provide high future-oriented value for

continuous development of the global construction industry.

OPENPLUS Architecture & Urban Design Laboratory

The OPEN+(OPENPLUS) lab interprets architectural design in the context of urban dynamics

and investigates how design and its processes respond to live cities, and vice versa. Through

interviews, pilot studies, and participatory design processes, we look at and engage with

elements of the city we live in, and fabricate physical and social relationship within it. We

work together, particularly balancing between practically pleasing design and academically

experimental design.

Building Informatics Group (BIG)

We members of the Building Informatics Group (BIG) define “high-tech” as a technology

that enables faster, cheaper, better, and more fool-proof production. In order to achieve this

“high-tech” level, BIG mainly researches the development of new construction technology,

information, and resource management during a building’s life cycle, using state-of-the-art

IT technology. Therefore, to improve productivity and economics of construction, BIG puts

the most effort toward perception of the construction industry as high-tech, not as labor-

oriented low-tech.

Smart Evolution Eco Design for sustainability (SEEDs) Laboratory

To achieve the goal of “sustainable” architecture, architectural design must seek to minimize

the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of

materials, energy, and development space. Conscious approaches to energy and ecological

conservation in the design of the built environment is a necessary step in the building sector.

Our laboratory has developed various ecological architectural technologies such as a natural

ventilation system, a thermal storage system, a building skin system, and an atrium system

etc., which can be applied to modern architecture.
