INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

 

STRATE College is one of the fastest-growing universities in France and was ranked by Business Week in 2007 as one of the 60 best design schools in the world among art and design schools. Kookmin University's School of Architecture signed an MOU with STRATE in 2014, and the exchange has been ongoing ever since, with about five students from each school participating in the program each year. In 2020, the program was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but from the fall semester of 2023, the existing MOU agreement was revised to allow three departments (Industrial Design, Visual Design, and Spatial Design) to send a total of 10 students per year for the next five years. 

Application Process

At the beginning of each semester, the preliminary application form announced by the faculty team (link to the faculty team application) is reviewed and adjusted at the university level. Selected students then apply to STRATE (application form, portfolio, etc.) (link to Strate College application form). STRATE College's review period is approximately 45 days, and the final selection will be announced after the review.                              

Students selected for the program will then begin preparing for their departure (applying for visas, booking accommodation, booking flights, and arranging insurance).
