The Department of Information Security at Sungkyul University is recruiting freshmen in collaboration with LG Uplus to cultivate specialized talents in the field of cybersecurity. The Department of Information Security will select 8 students from Group C through the CSAT-based general admission with 100% CSAT scores. Students who pass the set criteria will receive tuition waivers, living expense support, LG laptops and communication fee support, and even an opportunity to join LG Uplus after graduation.

Starting this year, Sungkyul University has expanded the subjects reflected in the CSAT for the regular general admission. In the natural sciences division, Probability and Statistics and Social Studies are now included, allowing all divisions to select subjects without restrictions: Korean (choose one from Speech and Composition or Language and Media), Mathematics (choose one from Probability and Statistics, Calculus, or Geometry), English, and two subjects from Social Studies or Science.

However, additional points are awarded based on the chosen subjects. For students who took Calculus or Geometry in Mathematics, Natural Sciences Division 1 will receive an additional 7% of the standard score as bonus points, while Natural Sciences Division 2 and the Division of Liberal Arts (Natural Sciences) will receive an additional 5%. Also, students who took Science Inquiry in Natural Sciences Divisions 1 and 2 and the Division of Liberal Arts (Natural Sciences) will receive up to 5% (2.5% per subject) of their percentile scores as bonus points, and students who took Social Studies Inquiry in the Division of Liberal Arts (Humanities) will receive up to 5% (2.5% per subject) as bonus points. Korean History will have the same bonus points across all divisions, with a 0.5-point difference between grades from 4 points for grade 1 to 0 points for grade 9.

Sungkyul University will accept applications for the regular admission from the 31st of this month until January 3rd of next year. The initial successful candidates will be announced on February 7th next year through the university website.
