Received the highest funding for project costs among Korean universities to carry out ‘domestic practical training and architectural exchange activities’

Recognized for excellence in site-oriented practical architectural education such as its operation of domestic and foreign field practices

  The YU School of Architecture was selected to receive the largest funding for project costs among domestic universities in the ‘Architecture Design Personnel Fostering Project’ sponsored by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Agency for Infrastructure Technology Advancement.

  The ‘Architecture Design Personnel Fostering Project’ is a program pursued by MOLIT since 2019 with the goal of supporting education and training. It has supported overseas training costs for young architects to learn various design and engineering techniques from overseas design offices or research institutes. As the COVID-19 situation prolonged, it has become participants to receive overseas training. Therefore, a domestic architecture company established a domestic training program costing a total of 1.3 billion KRW to help students enhance their architectural design capacities through practical training.

  The YU School of Architecture received a total of 129 million KRW and will provide domestic practical training and architectural exchange activities. In the domestic practical training section, 28 students majoring in architecture at the School of Architecture will perform domestic practical training for eight weeks, and will receive 1.5 million KRW for training costs per person. In addition, through support for architectural exchange activities, house-fixing volunteer activities, village survey and remodeling projects, and summer architecture design workshops that have been offered every year by the School of Architecture will also be conducted.
