In 1946 after liberation , according to the Act on the Establishment of Seoul National University (U.S. Military Government Act No. 102), the existing Kyungsung University (Kyungseong Imperial University), Gyeongseong Economics College, Gyeongseong Dental College (private), Gyeongseong Law College, Gyeongseong Medical College, Gyeongseong Mining College, Gyeongseong Normal School, Gyeongseong Technical College, Gyeongseong Women's Normal School, and Suwon Agriculture and Forestry College were abolished and Seoul National University was closed.It was the beginning of absorbing and integrating into . In addition, it absorbed the Seoul Pharmacy College, which was a private university, and expanded and merged several colleges to reach today.

When the Gwanak Campus was established in 1975, all colleges except for the Medical College (including the Department of Nursing at the time) in Yeongeon -dong near Daehak -ro, Jongno-gu and the College of Agriculture in Suwon gathered at the Gwanak Campus. The vast site and buildings in Gongneung-dong, Nowon-gu

, which were used by the College of Engineering, were moved to Seoul National University of Science and Technology, Gyeonggi Mechanical Technical High School, Atomic Energy Hospital, and Korea Electric Power Corporation training center, and Dongsung-dong Campus Sites for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences were divided leaving Seoul Sadaebu Elementary School and Seoul Sadae Buyeo Middle School, and changed to Korea National Open University and Marronnier Park. The auditorium and other buildings were used as Seoul Sadaebu Middle School and Seoul Sadaebu High School. In 2003, the College of Agriculture (now the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) moved to the Gwanak Campus. In accordance with the Act on the Establishment and Operation of Seoul National University as a National University Corporation, it was incorporated in 2011 and a corporation called 'Seoul National University ' was established. In other words, it is an educational institution operated by 'Seoul National University Corporation'.

Since its opening in 1946, a total of 27 presidents have been produced. The president was treated as a minister of major ministries because Seoul National University existed as an institution under the Prime Minister. Also, some of the presidents were appointed prime ministers.

After incorporation in 2011, the chairman system was newly established. The directors consist of 7 to 15 members, including the president of Seoul National University, two of the vice presidents of Seoul National University, one of the vice ministers of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, and one of the vice ministers of the Ministry of Education.

History of Seoul National University emblem
Seoul National University logo
Seoul National University's formal coat of arms is a dark blue crest with a feather pen and a torch crossed on a laurel wreath, and books and school gate symbols placed on top of it. The laurel wreath symbolizes honor and glory in achievements such as winning games or academic achievements, and signifies ' Seoul National University as the hall of preeminent academic honor '. And the pen and torch represent the will to take the lead in illuminating the path of the people through the quest for knowledge. On the open book on this background, the Latin word VERITAS LUX MEA is written, which means 'the truth is my light'. The prototype of the suit was developed in 1946 at the request of Professor Jang Bal (張勃), who was the dean of the College of Fine Arts, in design and design.



Student Lee Ki-hoon (李基勳) devised and began to use it for the first time, but each college and university had slightly different shapes, so the exact shape and proportions were not unified, and then a unified suit was introduced in 1955.

Later, in 2006, the proportions and the shape of the laurel wreath changed once again, and the color became Seoul National University's unique color, close to blue-violet. Originally, a plan to abolish the existing badge and create a new one was also considered, but it was changed to improving the existing badge due to massive opposition from professors, students, and alumni. It is also a

registered trademark. The Seoul National University Industrial Cooperation Foundation receives reports of illegal use. It is especially a problem in clinics and dental clinics.
  • if available
    • Seoul National University College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, College of Veterinary Medicine: undergraduate graduates (enrolled students, graduates not allowed)
    • College of Dentistry, Graduate School of Dentistry (professional): (4-year program) Dentistry graduates (current students, graduates not allowed)
  • If unavailable
    • Bachelor’s degree in other majors at Seoul National University, master’s degree at other universities, academic graduate school of dentistry (2-year program), dental health course, dental science department in graduate school of dentistry not allowed

In other words, those who graduated from Seoul National University College of Engineering and graduate school of dentistry from other universities cannot use it.

4.2. watchword

THE TRUTH IS MY LIGHT
VERITAS LUX MEA is the current slogan of Seoul National University. Translated, it means "Truth is my light." According to Church Latin pronunciation, it reads 'Veritas Lux Mea', and in Classical Latin pronunciation, it reads as 'Weritas Lux Mea'. However, since VERITAS is divided into two lines on the Seoul National University logo, sometimes people mistakenly read it as VERILUX TAS MEA along the horizontal direction. According to records, it was built by Dr.

Harry B. Anstead, the first president, and it is also engraved on the school emblem. There are few institutions in Korea that use Latin slogans, so they are famous for this and that. For reference, this phrase appears as a lesson from Gyeongseong Imperial University in Bok Geoil 's alternative history novel In Search of a Scream, but it is not true. Harvard University

and Yale UniversityRumors that he plagiarized the slogan of are widely spread, and he is criticized here and there. But truth be told, the word veritas (truth) is an incredibly common Latin word used as a slogan for school lessons and the like. There are more than 40 universities that use this word in the United States alone, and it is used so often that it is hard to count if Europe is included. Rather, the slogan of Seoul National University is similar to Dominus illuminatio mea (The Lord is my lamp), the motto of Oxford University in England, in terms of sentence structure alone. However, because misunderstandings are more widespread than you think, there are many cases where even Seoul National University students are misunderstood.

Here, let's think about the difference between the meanings of Oxford's motto, Dominus illuminatio mea and Veritas lux mea. If lux means the light emitted by an object by itself, illuminatio means the light that illuminates (my) front. Therefore, while Seoul National University’s “Veritas lux mea” means “the light emitted by the truth is my light,” Oxford’s Dominus illuminatio mea is different in that it means “the lamp that the Lord illuminates my path.”

4.3. sculpture

Seoul National University main gate sculpture
Seoul National University main gate
  • Main Gate
    The ' Shah ' sculpture at the main gate is a representative sculpture of Seoul National University. It was taken from the initial letters ㄱ, ㅅ, and ㄴ of " Seoul National University ". It symbolizes "the key to finding the truth."

    When Seoul National University relocated to the Gwanak Campus in 1975, discussions on the necessity and design of the main gate arose. In the end, all plans were scrapped, and an advisory committee composed of nine expert professors from the College of Art, Engineering, Graduate School of Environmental Studies, and Department of Archeology and Art History agreed to use the 'Shah' mark on the badge, and the current main gate was born in 1978.. # Regarding this, issues such as protesting against not respecting student public opinion continued, and regarding this steel structure, “Only the whimsical side of the school gate is emphasized, giving off a vulgar feeling as a whole” or “It has an original and novel taste and an open image. The opinions of faculty and students at the time were also divided. However, it has become the symbol of Seoul National University that is most commonly used and favored along with the gyopyo . The letter Sha itself is treated as a symbol of Seoul National University within Seoul National University.

    A road passed under this symbol, but both ends were low, so the actual access road was only two-lane, and the main road was always full during school hours. Also, during entrance ceremonies and graduation ceremonies, students had to pose in the middle of the road to take pictures with the main gate in the background. In August 2022, the access road was moved to one side and a spacious square was created. In particular, a stone chair called an intellectual chair was prepared in the photo zone, making it a popular attraction. # There is a waterscape section inside the main gate, and if you take a photo with the composition matched, the main gate will reflect on the water and create a plausible scenery. ( Example )

    In the past, anyone could easily climb up by holding the handle, and in fact, there were people who drank at dawn and climbed to the top of this sculpture, playing guitar and singing the morning dew. These days, it's hard to climb up with surveillance. In particular, after the high-altitude demonstration against the incorporation of the main gate in 2011, the gap on the side of the steel tower was blocked, making it impossible to climb. article

twin cranes
  • Regarding doctrine
    , there is a sculpture named 'Ssanghak' in front of the Cultural Center. However, it is a kind of art work that embodies two cranes with their wings wide open.Because it is , it does not look like an animal, so those who do not know it are bound to pass by. There are even cases that students do not know. It was created in 1998, the 52nd anniversary of the school, following the opinion that there was no symbolic sculpture on campus. On the pedestal, there is an autographed phrase by President Kim Dae-jung, 'To the future with the people'. At first, it was golden, but over time, it naturally rusted and became the current bluish color.

4.4. chansi

The poem was written on April 2, 1971 by Jeong Hee-seong (poet, former teacher at Soongmoon High School ), a senior student at the Department of Korean Language and Literature at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the time, in a congratulatory poem posted at the groundbreaking ceremony for the comprehensive campus relocated to Mt. Gwanak. Although Seoul National University did not intend to put forward its own slogan, it became famous as it was often featured in the CSAT-related community. In particular, even those who do not know the full text of this poem, the phrase "Let them see the windpipe" is famous enough to know.

4.5. etc

Shadae is a nickname for Seoul National University . This is because the SNU gate sculpture, also known as Shadaemun, looks like the Korean character 'sha'. Seoul National University is called Shadae, DC Inside Seoul National University Gallery is called 'Shagael', and users are called 'Shabungi'. In addition, it is also called SNU (SNU)

after the abbreviation of Seoul National University, which is the English name. 'Snu' is commonly included in the name of the school's Internet community, ' Snu Life ', various club names such as SNUPO, and even the name of the app created by the development club. What other universities call Pass&Fail (P/F) is also called Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) at Seoul National University. In fact, there are cases where foreign YouTubers in a specific field introduce research materials from Seoul National University in that field, but SNU is often read as "SNU" instead of Seoul National University. Easy to pronounce even for foreigners

[ After 2023 ]










Seoul National University selects students through both regular and regular admissions. Except for regular admissions, only high school students can apply for regular admissions, and since regular admissions reflect only the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) 100%, graduates and those who have passed the qualification exam can also apply.. However, from the 2023 school year, it has changed to regular school records. Please refer to the Seoul National University/Admissions Documents for special admissions for foreigners, transfer-related matters, and other details.

8.1. Occasional recruitment

  • General Admission : After the first round of selection based on the student record and self-introduction letter, interviews and oral examinations are conducted for the first round of successful applicants to select the final successful applicants. The interview consists of solving a given problem and explaining the solution process to the professor. Except for the Department of Physical Education at the College of Education, the minimum academic ability standard for the College Scholastic Ability Test is not applied. Occasional general admissions account for the largest portion of Seoul National University admissions, and this seems to be because the average GPA of those who have passed the regular admissions is generally the highest. It is also a major screening process for students with excellent grades at top-tier special purpose high schools and private high schools to enter Seoul National University. They are students of special purpose high schools and autonomous high schools such as technical high schools, foreign language high schools, international high schools, and arts high schools. In the case of general high school pass students, students who graduated from schools with relatively high rates of admission to Seoul National University and medical school, including District 8, accounted for a large proportion. Some of the students who have passed the regular general admission are also high school students located abroad. However, in the case of students from high schools located abroad, including international schools, they enter Seoul National University through the global talent special screening, which is usually conducted twice a year. (However, you can apply only if you have a 12-year special qualification, so if you have attended school in Korea for even one year, you must apply regularly or Ji-gyun)
  • Balanced regional selection development type : This is a type introduced to consider students from regions with relatively poor education, and is called 'Ji-gyun' for short. In addition, it is said that it was introduced to fight the crippled practice of selecting students who only have high grades and have low actual math skills. In the regionally balanced selection development type, the school principal recommends two students from each school, ) is selected, and only after passing the document and interview is it possible to pass. However, since then, the gap in education by region has steadily narrowed, and controversy over this system continues.] Looking at the data on the current status of admitted students by high school type, about 85 to 90% of Seoul National University's regular regional balanced selection candidates are students from regular high schools. If public announcements are added, the ratio reaches 90-95%.
    2023 Occasional Balanced Regional Screening Changes Notice

    • In the first stage of the screening process by stage,
      3 times pass with 100% of the document evaluation, and in the second stage, the final successful candidate is determined with 70 points for the first stage grade + 30 points for the interview.
    • Easing the minimum standards for the CSAT
      3 or more out of 4 areas, 2 grades → Sum of 3 out of 4 areas 7
  • 기회균형선발특별전형(정원 외): 하위 전형으로 특성화고특별전형이 있는데, 특성화고등학교 재학생을 선발하는 제도이다. 과거에는 수학영역·영어영역 4등급, 직업탐구 영역 2등급 이내라는 대학수학능력시험 최저학력기준이 있었지만 어느샌가부터 적용하지 않는다.

8.2. 정시 모집[편집]

  • 일반전형: 대부분의 학과가 대학수학능력시험 성적만을 100% 반영하여 선발한다 (의예과, 사범대학 계열 제외). 특이 사항으로 자연계열은 서로 다른 분야의 과학탐구 영역 Ⅰ+Ⅱ 혹은 Ⅱ+Ⅱ[예시:]를 응시해야만 한다는 조건이 있다. 전반적으로 합격 커트라인이 올 1등급은 우스울 정도로 높은 편이다. 특히 문과 입시의 경우 서울대 내에서 입결이 가장 낮게 형성되는 학과도 연고대 상경계 학과들보다 점수가 높다. 이공계에서도 괴랄한 백분위를 자랑하는 Ⅱ 과목 응시가 필수임을 고려하면, 수험생 선호도가 높은 일부 학과들의 합격자 수준은 상위권 의대 합격자 수준과 겹칠 정도로 들어가기가 어렵다. 다만 최근 들어서는 이과 학생들 중 서울대보다는 의치대를 노리는 최상위권 수험생들이 많아지면서 서울대학교 입학 조건을 만족시키려는 수험생들, 즉 Ⅱ 과목을 응시하는 학생들은 매년 감소하고 있는 중이다. 응시자들 중 상위권 수험생들이 많고 또 Ⅰ 과목에 비해 응시인원이 압도적으로 적은 Ⅱ 과목 특성상 국수탐 합산 점수의 누적 백분위 산출 시 불리함을 감수해야 하는데, 이러한 점이 의치대 입시에서 불리하게 작용할 여지가 다분하기 때문이다. 여담으로 공무원 시험처럼 늦게 정신차린 N수생들의 마지막 희망이기도 하다. 합격생의 고교 유형별 현황 자료를 보면 서울대학교 정시 일반전형 합격자의 55% 가량은 일반고 학생들이며, 현역으로 붙기는 매우 어렵기 때문에 합격자의 55~60%가 재수생을 포함한 N수생들이다.
  • 기회균형선발특별전형(정원 외): 북한이탈주민, 특수교육대상자, 1~3급 장애인만 지원 가능하고, 대학수학능력시험 2개 영역 2등급 이내여야 한다.
2023 정시 개편 (2021년 고2 이후) 공지

  • 교과평가 추가
    서울대학교 정시 모집은 대학수학능력시험 성적 100%로 선발하였지만, 2023학년도부터 교과평가가 추가된다.
    교과평가는 고등학교 학교생활기록부의 ①교과 이수 현황, ②교과 학업성적, ③세부능력 및 특기사항만이 반영된다.
    1단계에서는 수능 100%로 2배수가 합격하고, 2단계에서는 1단계 점수 80점 + 교과평가 20점으로 최종 합격자가 정해진다.

14. Digression

  • There is Pack Chagi as a traditional game of Seoul National University .
  • Historically, before the 'Seoul National University Establishment Ordinance' was promulgated, few people learned the Korean language (Korean)., Kyungsung University School of Law Faculty Association decided to exclude Korean and Chinese from the entrance exam subjects. Then, the foreign president, Captain Ansted, admonished, “There is no university in the world that selects students without taking a national language test.” #
  • It is one of the few universities where you can take a leave of absence immediately after entering. Most universities other than Seoul National University must complete the first semester of the first year unconditionally.
  • Seoul National University 3 idiots : It is a 30-minute walk from Seoul National University Station to the front gate of Seoul National University. If you walk from the main gate to the uppermost building, the College of Engineering, you will have to walk for a total of 1 hour. And it takes 10 minutes by bus from the main gate of Seoul National University to the College of Engineering (301, 302 Engineering Building), which is the same distance from Hapjeong Station to Severance Hospital in Sinchon. Also, students entering Seoul National University are, on average, those who fiercely competed for first place in each high school, so it is meaningless to brag about having won first place in the entire school unless you are from a school for gifted students or a special purpose high school. Also, people who eagerly participate in the Seoul National University Festival, which is notorious for being the least fun, are also viewed as fools. However, with the opening of Gangnam Beltway, the shuttle bus between Seoul National University Station and Seoul National University Administration Building during rush hour took more than 40 minutes even though it was during the seasonal semester. It's obvious that it will get worse when the semester starts. It is likely to raise questions about whether walking from the entrance station to Seoul National University is really stupid. In fact, when it coincides with work hours on Friday, it arrives similarly by walking or taking a bus. If the weather is nice, it's better to walk than to be shaken in a crowded bus.
  • It is the only major university in the world that does not have a music studies department (music history department at the College of Humanities).
  • The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in Suwon moved to the Gwanak Campus in 2003. The Suwon campus (excluding some preservation sites) was exchanged with the Gyeongin University of Education Gyeonggi Campus in 2012 in the form of a cross-exchange. With this contract, the former Seoul National University Suwon Campus site was converted into provincial land and the Gyeongin National University of Education Gyeonggi Campus was converted into state-owned land.
  • Starting from the 2014 entrance exam, regular admissions do not reflect student records and essay writing at all, and students are selected based on 100% of the CSAT, so there are a large number of students who have passed N exams.
  • Seoul National University's IP address is in the 147.46.0.0/15 band. When you surf the Internet, you can find this address on many sites unexpectedly, and it is already nothing to find on DC Inside. Even at the Outsider Gallery, the IP of the constant writing "I ate in the bathroom" was revealed to be Seoul National University, which shocked the galleries. Since it is a place where about 25,000 people live together, there are all kinds of people.
  • Seoul National University's on-campus newspaper is not 'Seoul National University Newspaper', but just 'University Newspaper'. It can be misunderstood as arrogant, but in fact, it is because it has been handed down from the academic journal of the Wartime Union University, which was established in Busan during the Korean War. In fact, the name assistant referee can be found in the fact that the title of the academic newspaper, which was founded on July 1, 1947 by the Cultural Department of the Student Council of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is 'University Newspaper '. The first issue of the college newspaper of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (July 1, 1947) At that time, separate journals were published for each college. The fact that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences called it 'University Newspaper' is different from other colleges integrated with Guje College. Since the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is entirely composed of the Faculty of Literature and the Faculty of Science at Gyeongseong Imperial University, it should be seen as a manifestation of the pride of being the only university in the Korean Peninsula during the Japanese colonial era. 'University Newspaper' of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was published only until the third issue in September 1947. On March 1, 1948 , 'Seoul National University Newspaper ', the entire academic journal of Seoul National University, was launched and published until May 1950, but the 17th issue was suspended due to the outbreak of the Korean War. And the current 'University Newspaper' was born on February 4, 1952, during the Wartime Union University days and has been handed down. If it had not been interrupted by the war, the name of the Seoul National University academic journal would have been 'Seoul National University Newspaper'.
  • Students from other departments come into the building imagining the romance of an art college, but are embarrassed by the very poor environment. There is a legend that there was only an electric blanket in the attic of 1 pyeong when I went into the department and room of this building. The design and building, however, are relatively new.
  • It was certified nationwide that his physical strength was weak.
    The stamina of Seoul National University students is weak. After an investigation, it was revealed that the physical strength of Seoul National University students is that of a man in his 50s, which shocks me. The general public and Seoul National University male students body fat percentage, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility are all at the level of men in their 50s. And it is shocking to see that there is also a study that shows that the physical strength of young people in their 20s in Japan is significantly lower than the average. Japanese 20-year-olds, Seoul National University students, and even students who regularly participated in sports at Seoul National University are lower than Japanese 20-year-old children. - 2010 State Audit
  • The Seoul National University baseball team is widely known for its splendid defeat matches its name value. He often plays friendly games with the University of Tokyo baseball team, which is in a similar situation.
  • It is listed under the terrifying name of the National Psychiatric Ward in the Baekgoe Dictionary.
  • It has a reputation for server errors and crashes. In fact, the general opinion is that this is due to lazy server management. Course registration sites, as well as eTL, often explode. The following cases are representative.
    • 2015 2nd Semester Course registration for odd number students. Anyone who has signed up for a course will know how miraculous it is that even if it is not a very popular course, a fairly popular course remains until 20 minutes after the course registration starts. But it actually happened. The actual course registration site server was quiet, and I could enjoy the joy of transferring course registration without any waiting time just by logging in. As long as he logs in. The problem was that the login server exploded 15 minutes before course registration, so very few people logged in on time. In the end, there were people who couldn't log in until 3-40 minutes after course registration started. On that day, SNU Life exploded with complaints and criticisms, several phone calls were made to Seoul National University, and the student council showed movement .
    • On August 13, 2021, 'Friday the 13th class registration situation'. On August 13, when course registration was scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, even though the course registration was scheduled to start at 8:30, a notice was posted saying that the course registration would be checked by 7:50, but the course registration site was not entered until after 8:20. As a result of the students who failed to inquire at the information center, they were able to hear an ignorant answer that they blocked login until 8:30. In the end, it was only when the time when the course registration started on the day of course registration that he showed unprecedented incompetence in delaying course registration for 30 minutes (and the MySnu portal, which posted the notice, also exploded, and reports that they could not see the notice appeared one after another). It can be said that it is the evil power of the university. Around 8:50 am on the same day, the 13th day disappeared from the course registration schedule, and the first-come, first-served course registration schedule was changed to August 17th and posted. Students are trembling at the incompetence of the school. Even though course registration was delayed twice for technical reasons, the information center did not even recognize what the problem was until the students pointed it out. Considering that there are students who succeeded in registering for courses even if the server exploded, they pretended that the principle of first-come-first-served order was followed, and only after the student council pointed out that it was not followed at all, they showed rudeness in apologizing.
  • Chocolate is famous as a souvenir. A popular item as a gift for high school seniors .
  • In the past, President Lee Jang-moo declared rivals to Tokyo University in Japan and Tsinghua University in China at the same time. After that, it didn't really become a national composition.
  • The area of ​​the school site is quite large, but the shape looks like the land of Argentina. ☞Campus Size Comparison
  • Since the Gwanak campus is located under the access route to Gimpo International Airport, airplanes pass by quite often when looking up at the sky from the school. Most of the planes are landing, but depending on the day, you can see planes taking off. Model 737, 747, 767, 777, 787, A320 family, A330, various business jets, etc. are very diverse.
  • According to Dino Tracker, the official viral marketing site for Jurassic World: Dominion, Pteranodon was discovered at Seoul National University.
  • MySnu, a school portal, is based on HTML5, a web standard, so you can use various services regardless of browser. You can use just one non-standard item when logging in , but it is optional and there is no problem in using it even if you do not use it... It is strong (you cannot approve work without logging in with a public certificate), and undergraduate, master's and doctoral students, and research students, part-time instructors and researchers do not need to care.
  • On February 15, 2016, the girl group GFRIEND presented a congratulatory performance at the 2016 Seoul National University freshman OT held at Seoul National University Gwanak Campus.
  • A person who passed the bar exam who graduated from both the undergraduate and graduate school of law left a feeling that, although gossip is common among students due to the nature of the law school, which is a small society, it is different among students from Seoul National University. In light of the example of Snoolife, this sentiment is quite reasonable.
    Gossiping [between law students] has no gender. However, even in this respect, it seems that those from Sha University are different. They are good at everything, including studies, and their gossiping skills are also an art. Acquisition of information, propagation, disturbance, alienation, hitting and falling between them, etc. Their skills are not an area that can be achieved only through pure effort.

    Park Jae-hoon, 《Your Law School》, p. 204
  • On January 29, 1981, the Kyunghyang Shinmun dealt with the stories of people who passed law school with courage/conviction support .

  • During the Korean War, the Seoul National University building was used as the headquarters of the US Army. After the Armistice Agreement, on September 15, 1953, the US Army returned the Seoul National University building to Seoul National University through a Seoul National University transfer ceremony and moved to Yongsan. #
  • In 2022, when the food and energy crisis led to a sharp rise in food prices, Seoul organized a meal kit and a self-cooking corner to cook it for the first time in Seoul and began providing them to students.
  • It is also called Kyakywadae in the entrance examination community such as Orbi. #
