UST-KRISS School
Introduction
As the National Metrology Institute of Korea, the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) was founded in 1975 to establish national standards and conduct related research. Today, it is recognized as a world-class metrology institute. Funded by the government, KRISS strives to enhance the quality of life for citizens, drive innovation in national science and technology, and strengthen industrial competitiveness through the dissemination of global measurement standards and research on advanced measurement technology.
The UST-KRISS School aims to cultivate innovative next-generation scientists who will enhance Korea’s global presence. To achieve this goal, it conducts research with faculty composed of top scientists in the field. The UST-KRISS School, with its state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment, pursues creative interdisciplinary research and practical on-site education in two majors: precision measurement and applied measurement science. The demand-oriented curriculum and diverse student welfare systems allow students to focus on study and research on a campus harmonized with nature. The open learning environment encourages active exchange of ideas and maximizes students’ potential, laying the foundation for stronger ties with industries, schools, and research institutions. Your interest and support for the school’s efforts in nurturing world-class scientists and engineers are deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Majors and Faculty Overview
Majors
Applied Measurement Science
This major consists of two sub-majors (nano convergence measurement, biomedical measurement) covering the field of applied measurement. The sub-major of nano-convergence measurement deals with the microscopic or extreme environment physics, materials, and equipment development. The sub-major of biomedical measurement deals with precision measurement of biomedical signals and quantities, as well as development of medical diagnostic/therapeutic devices. This major teaches and studies the field of measurement science that can be widely applied in physics, materials, chemistry, and bio/medical fields.
