¤ýGraduate School of North Korean Studies
Three decades of research into North Korean Studies performed by the Institute for Far Eastern Studies (IFES) and experiences from the operation of the department of North Korean Studies, School of Administrative Science , have been marked by the establishment of the Graduate School of North Korean Studies in 1997. The School, approved by the Ministry of Education in 2000 as the nation's first professional graduate school that covers the area of North Korea and national unification, has presented new educational models integrating teaching into research. Such tradition and experiences led the Hanma Foundation to the establishment of the university graduate school of North Korean Studies in 2004. The university graduate school of North Korean Studies is to take a leading role as a mecca for the education and research in the arena of North Korea and national unification.
