If it is necessary for the major, the credits earned from other departments under the supervision by the supervising professor and the department supervising professor may be recognized as the credit in major under approval by the Dean of Graduate School.
Required Subjects
There are no required subjects for the Master’s Degree Course, Doctoral Degree Course, and Master-Doctor Integrated Course.
Prerequisite Subjects
Master’s Degree course : The new students who entered the Master's Degree course but majored in different disciplines during their undergraduate course should take the undergraduate ‘Data Structure’ course within one year as a principle. However, if the supervising professor and the head professor of the department agree, the prerequisite subjects may be waivered or additional prerequisite subjects can be included.
Doctoral Degree course : There are no requirements regarding any prerequisite subjects for the new students who majored in different discipline during their Master's Degree course.
Master-Doctor Integrated Course : The same as the Master's Degree course.
General Test
Master's Degree course : The subjects of the general test shall be three major subjects within the Master's Degree course.
Doctoral Degree course : The subjects of the general test shall be four major subjects among the major subjects of the Doctoral Degree course.
Master-Doctor Integrated Course : The subjects of the general test shall be four subjects among the major subjects of the Master-Doctor Integrated Course.
Thesis Supervision, Presentation and Evaluation Supervising Professor
Supervising professor
Selection of supervising professors shall be in accordance with the rules enacted by the faculty meeting before the beginning of the semester in which the new student entered the department.
For the Master's Degree course, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least one year from the thesis supervising professor (advisor). However, when the supervising professor is changed, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least six months from the thesis supervising professor.
As for the Doctoral Degree course, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least two years from the thesis supervision professor till submitting a thesis. However, if the supervising professor (advisor) is changed, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least one year from the new supervising professor.
As for the Master-Doctor Integrated Course, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least three years from the thesis supervision professor till submitting a thesis. However, if the supervising professor is changed, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least 1 year from the new thesis supervision professor.
Students of Doctoral Degree courses and Master-Doctor Integrated Courses
Students of Doctoral Degree courses and Master-Doctor Integrated Courses The students of Doctoral Degree courses and Master-Doctor Integrated Courses may submit the application thesis only when the student meets the following basic conditions and additional conditions, submits documentary evidence to the Graduate School Committee of the Department for confirmation, and is confirmed by the said committee to satisfy such conditions. Calculation of performance shall be governed by the Bylaws of School of Engineering.
Basic Requirement(Both ① and ② should be satisfied.)
①The graduation requirements for the Doctoral Degree course of the School of Engineering must be satisfied. For calculating the publication performance, the articles published in the journals of a lab or a department shall not be recognized. Also, articles published in the journals that is published within Hanyang University are not recognized, as well.
②The student shall be approved for publication of at least one article as the main author, along with the supervising professor, in an internationally recognized journal (SCI, SCIE) or the journal of an internationally recognized academic conference (those listed in the “List of Internationally Recognized Academic Conferences” in ‘BK 21 Computer Science Sector.’)
Additional Requirement (Either of ① or ② must be satisfied.)
①The student meets all the requirements for graduating from the School of Engineering with the SCI level articles he/she authored as the main author with the assistance from the supervising professor.
②In addition to the requirement for graduation from the School of Engineering, the student exceeds the publication requirements by another 100%. However, such additional publications shall be recognized only if they are published through the journals registered with the National Research Foundation of Korea, internationally recognized journals (SCI, SCIE), or the journals of international academic conferences which are listed in the “List of Internationally Recognized Academic Conferences” of “BK21 Computer Science Sector.’ (If an official certificate of publication authorization can be obtained, an approval for publication can also be recognized.)
