[KS] New M.A.-Ph.D. course offered at the Academy of Korean Studies

[rupert]

The Graduate School of Korean Studies at the Academy of Korean Studies has constantly been developed as a pivotal institution of Korean Studies with support from the Korean Government and Korean Studies scholars around the world. From the year 2004, the Graduate School will begin the Program of International Korean Studies in addition to the existing six departments to further the international promotion of Korean Studies. 
 
While the six departments continue to focus on deepening research on Korean Studies, students for the new program are to be educated towards contributing to the international development of Korean Studies in close co-operation with the other six departments. Accordingly, students for the new program are expected to attend classes conducted in English and to write their dissertations in English. 
 
Foreign students in the Graduate School are exempted from admission tuition fees. In addition, they will receive more privileges if they maintain a high scholastic record in their academic studies. Furthermore, students who successfully finish their coursework under the Program of International Korean Studies will have the opportunity of doing further overseas research. 
 
The deadline for applications to the Program of International Korean Studiesto is 29 November 2003.
