2015 Korea Field Research and Study

 

 

 

 

We would like to invite all members of the KDI School to 2015 Korea Field Research and Study (KFRS), which takes place from Aug. 18 (Tue.) to Aug. 21 (Fri.).

 

This 4-day field trip will be a good opportunity to witness the past and present of Korean development. By visiting industrial manufacturing sites such as POSCO and SK Energy, you will see what laid the foundations of the current Korean economy. Besides, we will get to visit Gyeongju city, the capital of the Shilla dynasty, and look around some historical sites which are rich with cultural heritage.

 

Though KFRS is designed for international students to improve their understanding about diverse aspects of Korea, Korean students are also strongly recommended and welcomed to join in.

 

This field trip offers 1 credit as a field research course. Participants can obtain 1 credit upon submission of a KFRS report. This credit will be shown on your official transcript under the fall term but will not count towards the graduation requirements.

 

Please note that only limited number of students can participate in this tour. And once you apply it, you will be on the waiting list and the school will approve your status. The application will be processed on a first-come-first served basis, so be quick to enjoy 2015 KFRS.

See below details for your information.
