[김호영 기자]Samsung Electronics will nurture talents in 6th generation mobile communication (6G) technology through industry-university cooperation with Korea University. Samsung Electronics offered a 100% job guarantee and full tuition scholarships while attending school to attract talented people.
Samsung Electronics announced on the 17th that Korea University and the Department of Next-Generation Communication, dealing with next-generation communication technologies, including 6G, will be newly established as a recruitment-linked contract department in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Korea University plans to select 30 freshmen every year from 2023 as the next-generation communication department. In addition, the entire tuition fee and tuition subsidy are provided as industry-academic scholarships during the period of enrollment.
Students will grow into creative communication talents through practical customized education that links theory and practice in the field of communication. In particular, experience opportunities such as participation in the Samsung Electronics internship program and visiting renowned overseas academic societies are provided.
“We decided to establish a next-generation communication department with Korea University to foster convergence talent specialized in the communication field to keep pace with the changes in the communication market where hardware and software technologies converge,” said Jeon Kyung-hoon, head of Samsung Electronics’ Network Business Division.

President Jintaek Jeong of Korea University also said, “I hope that the combination of Korea University’s excellent educational resources, excellent teachers, advanced administrative systems, and Samsung Electronics’ world-class technology will produce excellent talent and enable the two institutions to become strong research partners.”
Based on the core value of ‘Talent First’ and the belief that ‘People are the company’, Samsung Electronics has been continuously conducting business activities focused on nurturing talented people. Samsung Electronics is currently supporting a total of 9 contract departments and combined majors in cooperation with 7 domestic universities in the fields of telecommunications and semiconductors. In July of last year, it signed an agreement with Pohang University of Science and Technology to foster next-generation telecommunication talents with Seoul National University in September.

6G is one of Samsung Electronics’ future food items that Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong predicted early on. In August of last year, it announced that it would invest 240 trillion won in system semiconductors, bio, 6G, artificial intelligence (AI), and robots over the next three years.
6G is called ‘dream communication’. The theoretical speed is 1000 gigabit, which is 50 times faster than 5G (20 gigabit). The time it takes for a user to send and receive data to and from an Internet server is only 1000 microseconds (10,000ths of a second). This is the speed at which a 20GB movie can be downloaded in 0.16 seconds. The government and academia are forecasting 2028-2030 as the time to commercialize 6G.
