As one of Korea¡¯s most prestigious law schools, we
are committed to providing our students with a balanced curriculum
of studies. We do not teach law so that our students can pass an examination;
instead, we offer them a wide range of studies that are essential
to their careers and their society--such as social law, labor law,
international law, the philosophy of law, and comparative law. All
our faculty and students have a passion for law, and want to see it
used for the fullest benefit of society. |

to offer our students the most complete and uplifting humanities curriculum possible. We receive
support for our research from the Institute for Korean Culture, Institute
for Asian Studies, Korean Institute for Research in the Behavioral

Our most distinctive feature is our rapid growth. In addition, most of our departments were selected as BK21 project groups last year. This year, we were chosen for a dozen new mid- to large-sized research projects. They include state-designated research center projects, creative research promotion projects , a center for
innovation in engineering education and base college development
projects. We have also provided a model for cooperative industria-academic
research by creating the Korea Techno Complex, the first
such facility in the country. It has attracted industries and research
institutes from both home and abroad, ranging from promising venture
firms to large corporations. We are seizing the initiative in the

We emphasize the importance of basic courses in the belief
that "trends and education are different things" and that there can be
a disjunction between progressive movements in the art and design
field and the realities of everyday education. Based on this, we strive
to foster would-be-artists who will remain faithful to the basics. Some
of our efforts include increasing the number of subjects for video and
media art, sharing credits and course classification numbers with the
Korean National University of Arts, offering lectures on prominent art
administrators and curators, planning exhibitions for our graduates,
and developing support programs. Other projects include hiring
more high-quality faculty members and encouraging joint research
projects by establishing an art and design research institute. |

Our curricula enable students to acquire expertise in both primary
functions (including politics, economics, and the law) and primary
regions (including Asia and Europe). In addition, we are forming
partnerships with international organizations and companies, with a
focus on such issues as international trade and international development
cooperation. We also host lectures by such experts as former
high-ranking officials, experts in international organizations, and
diplomats. Another strong point is our custom-designed programs,
in which a major is chosen through consultations between students
and their professors, developing courses of study that match their
interests and future career goals.
First of all, we are forming educational and research networks
with a number of prestigious overseas universities. We also hope to
establish student exchanges and joint degree programs with a university
in Japan and another in China. This will allow our students to
become experts in East Asian affairs. Finally, we will increase opportunities
for global learning by networking with renowned universities
in the USA and Europe. |

Primarily divided into the divisions of languages and literatures,

practical discipline by adding politics and economics to their curricula.
For example, the divisions of languages and
literatures and Chinese studies are heightening their value as practical
areas of study by adding politics and economics to their curricula.
This has been done in the belief that language training should
include knowledge of the culture that created it. Meanwhile, the
Department of Creative Writing is endeavoring to better Korea’s position
in the world by adding to its knowledge of Korean society and
culture. This conflation of language training with closely-associated
sciences helps our students improve their capabilities in the practical
application of their studies after graduation. |

differentiate ourselves by carrying on inter-disciplinary research and
emphasizing the need for cooperation between the basic sciences
and applied engineering. This approach is integral to the development
