Located in the city of Daejeon, the Information and Communications University is a Korean institution of higher learning put up in 1998. The university’s chief specialty is engineering and research in information technology. Besides the engineering school, it also boasts of a management school. The university has a substantial foreign population with about 20% of the enrolled graduate students being international students. Courses taught in English predominate the curriculum quite unlike most Korean universities. At the end of 2008, ICU intends to combine with KAIST.

Now with 764 students, the engineering faculty conducts research cheifly in computer science and communications technology. The smaller business school has a total of 162 students and is concentrated on the management and financial sides of the IT industry.
