NOTE:

• The KIST school student internship program is a preliminary internship program for students who have willing to apply for the KIST school(UST) graduate program (Master’s / Ph.D.)
• Only the students who are keeping their student status at their current universities are eligible to apply for this program since the applicants who had graduated from the universities are not considered student researchers.
