ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to examine the characterstic of the university specialization in the case of the University of Sussex in the UK, and to present some implications for universities in Korea and the conception for developing the index of the university specialization. The university specialization is that while maximizing current and potential specialization capacity of the university, it educates human capital which contributes to the regional, national and global development on the basis of specialized jobs. Within this context, there are four types of the university specialization; the highest performaned person-dependent specialization, the industryuniversity- research institute cooperation-based one, the individual department’ growth and performance-focused one and multi-disciplinary one throughout inter-department’s cooperation. In order to vitalize the university specialization, to activate the cooperative relationship between the university and regional or local society is required, by planning the program which a part of functions of the university can share with the society.
