Our university introduced Challenge Semester last year for the first time in Korea, to provide students with various opportunities such as regular classes, extracurricular programs, internships, and international exchange programs. SKKU has increased the summer vacation from two months to three months for the smooth operation of the Challenge Semester. Last year, despite the COVID-19, more than 5,500 students participated to foster a spirit of challenge and gain extensive experience.
This year, SKKU plans to provide students with fruitful and various programs so that they can learn what they want. First of all, curriculum programs consists of innovative convergence classes such as AI, data analysis, and machine learning, which are of great interest to students recently, including ‘New humanity Phono Sapiens created by Smartphone’ by Professor Choi Jae Boong, known for his <Phono Sapiens>.
Extracurricular programs offer lectures in various fields such as The Fourth Industrial Revolution, AI, entrepreneurship, brand, foreign language and career path.

It also promotes programs to experience study, in collaboration with excellent researchers to discover research topics and conduct research.
Finally, SKKU plans to provide a place to interact with students from around the world, by using our university's representative international exchange program, International Summer Semester. And it will also provide opportunities to participate in summer semester programs hosted by overseas universities that have signed an agreement with SKKU. However, due to COVID-19, all international exchange programs will be conducted online.
