Sungkyunkwan University
Sungkyunkwan University (
SKKU or ''
Seongdae'', ) is a
private research university with campuses in
Seoul and
Suwon, South Korea. The institution traces its origins to the historic
Sungkyunkwan founded in 1398 in central Seoul. As the foremost educational institution during the
Joseon period, it was governed by the great code of the state administration with royal assent. By a resolution of the Progressive Intellectuals and
Confucian scholars, it was restructured as a comprehensive university in the mid-20th century, and has since greatly expanded its academic offerings.
