2018 Korea Field Research and Study

 

Dear Students,

We would like to invite all members of the KDI School to the 2018 Korea Field Research and Study (KFRS), which will take place from August 7th (Tue) to August 10th (Fri).

This four-day field trip will be a great opportunity to witness the past and present of Korean development. By visiting industrial manufacturing sites, you will see the foundations of Korea's modern economy. We will also look around at some historical sites rich in Korean cultural heritage.

Although KFRS is designed for international students, in order to improve their understanding of diverse aspects of Korea, Korean students are strongly encouraged to join in as well, and will be welcome to attend.

This field trip offers one credit as a field research course, upon submission of a KFRS report. This credit will be shown on your official transcript under the summer term, but will not count towards your graduation requirements.

 

Please note that only a limited number of students can participate in this tour. Once you apply for 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 apply soon so that you can enjoy the 2018 KFRS.
