Master’sProgramforFutureGlobalLeadersinEnvironmentalPolicy(MGLEP)

The Master’s Program for Future Global Leaders in Environmental Policy (MGLEP) funded by the Ministry of Environment of Korea (KME) is designed to support Graduate Studies Program for government officials working in environment or related fields in Korea’s partnering countries

The main goal of MGLEP is to support the training of key personnel who have the capacity to lead the sustainable economic and social development of our partnering countries through the transfer of Korea’s know-how and experiences in environmental improvement.

The KME launched the program for the first time in 2015, reflecting the demand of its partnering countries for the long-term capacity-building programs discussed during high-level meetings and through the international cooperation network of the Ministry.

This program is expected to contribute to the capacity-building in environmental policy of partnering countries by allowing the participants to experience Korea’s development process, acquire specialized knowledge in the field of environment through intensive training, and strengthen the ability for policy development and analysis.

With the ownership of the program, the KME will put its best efforts to support participants of MGLEP not only in expanding their knowledge of environmental policy and technology, but also establishing valuable networks and experiencing Korean culture, society and history through this invitation program for officials of our partnering countries.

NationalInstituteofEnvironmentalHumanResourcesDevelopment(NIEHRD)

The National Institute of Environmental Human Resources Development (hereinafter referred to as “NIEHRD”) is a national training institute of the Ministry of Environment, which was established with an aim to improve capacity building of government officials in 1980. After several reorganizations, it became an independent national environmental training institute in 2006, providing education programs not only for government officials but also for employees in the environmental field and general public as well.

NIEHRD has also carried out international programs for foreign government officials, with a view to sharing Korea’s experiences in the field of the environment with other countries. As of December 2017, it has conducted training programs for 2,576 officials from 96 countries, providing a venue for sharing Korea’s environmental policies and cutting-edge environmental technologies.

For an effective and efficient program, NIEHRD of KME will cooperate with capable academic institutions in Korea to provide an opportunity for participants to accumulate their knowledge on areas of academic interest as well as gain a first- hand experience of Korea’s development process during their stay in Korea.

.

Since its establishment in 1997 as one of the nine government-supported graduate schools of international studies, GSP has proven to be one of the best. GSP is the only institution that has ranked continuously and consistently among the top three. The GSP family consists of students from more than 30 countries from a variety of backgrounds, religious affiliations and extensive international experience. The impact of this international diversity on the GSP program is enormous, adding varied perspectives to classroom discussions, team projects and everyday interactions. GSP helps students improve their knowledge and skills to reach international standards. Students learn both the theory and practice of international development, economics and business, and global issues around the world. New leadership for the 21st century requires creative problem solving and an in-depth understanding of the global agenda. With a rich source of international, academic and policy experiences, the GSP faculty prepares students for these leadership requirements.

GSP has offered the Master’s Program in Industry and Trade Policy (MIT) for public officers from partner developing countries. Recently, GSP has launched another graduate degree program, the Master’s Program for Future Global Leaders in Environmental Policy (MGLEP). Both programs are sponsored by the Korean Government. These programs are producing a strong synergy effect with the institution’s other degree programs and have expanded its global alumni nexus to over 50 countries. GSP sincerely hopes that many capable applicants over the world will take advantage of this valuable educational opportunity.

PART V. ACADEMIC INSTITUTION ..

PART V. THE ACADEMIC INSTITUTION

1. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF KYUNG HEE UNIVERSITY (KHU)

Kyung Hee University maintains 19 graduate schools and 24 colleges on 3 campuses (Seoul,

Global, and Kwangneung). As a leading private university in Korea founded with the mission to

create a civilized world, Kyung Hee University pursues global eminence with its state of the art

research facilities and renowned faculty informed by the Common Society Movement which was

established by the International Association of University Presidents and the United Nations

International Day of Peace and which received the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education, held the

World Civic Forum in association with the United Nations in 2009, and held a joint conference

with the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the

International Day of Peace in 2011.

Kyung Hee strives to bridge cultural and social disparities by promoting mutual understanding

and prosperity. As a result, it encourages frequent exchanges with its sister schools overseas to

facilitate the exchange of ideas. These activities advance a shared belief in the value of learning.

The university has steadfastly pursued exchanges with 256 sister universities and affiliated

institutions in 54 countries, among them Harvard University in the US, Catholic University of

Leuven in Belgium, Cambridge University in the UK, Beijing University in China, the University of

British Columbia in Canada, Keio University in Japan, the Autonomous University of Guadalajara

in Mexico, and the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica. In its relatively short history since its

foundation in 1949, Kyung Hee University has achieved great success in both academic

excellence and global praxis.



2. GRADUATE SCHOOL OF PAN-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (GSP)

The Graduate School of Pan-Pacific International Studies (GSP) was established at the Global

Campus in 1996 as one of nine government-funded graduate programs of international studies.

The school is currently running four departments: International Trade and Economic Cooperation

(IT & EC), International Business (IB), International Relations, and International Development

Cooperation (IDC). In addition, it also offers two tailored programs: the Master of Arts in

International Development and Consulting (MIDAC) and the Master of Arts in Industry and Trade

Policy (MIT).

In 2002, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and GSP initiated a master’s

program for international students from developing countries. The program has been deemed as

one of the most excellent master's programs among those offered under the KOICA scholarship

program. Until now, more than 300 alumni from 40 countries have graduated from this program.

Subsequently, GSP was nominated by the Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources

Department as the institution which would train and educate experts in Official Development

Assistance (ODA) in 2007. This ODA program offers not only educational content, but also many

opportunities to work with other institutions including government agencies and NGOs.

Since its foundation, GSP has achieved remarkable success in its quality of international studies.

The objective of a GSP education is to produce experts in international and global affairs who

can meet the challenges of globalization and normalization, and who are equipped with core

skills in their respective areas of study, practical expertise, strong problem-solving ability,

international awareness and vision.



3. ACCOMMODATION

GSP students will live in Woojungwon, a dormitory that actively supports the international

community on campus including both MGLEP students together with other international students

studying at Kyung Hee University. Currently, around 300 international students reside in

Woojungwon.

Woojungwon, built in September 1998, is a dormitory complex including both a residence and a

business area that can accommodate about 2,000 people. Each unit is furnished with a

shower/lavatory, bed, desk, cabinet and telephone. Each room is also supplied with a LAN cable

for provision of free internet and e-mail access.

Ÿ Woojungwon provides services in Korean, English and Chinese.

Ÿ There, students are introduced to various activities allowing for experience of Korean

culture (e.g. visiting the Korean Folk Village, making Korean rice cake, and a city tour in

Gyeonggi Province).

Ÿ The rooms have been recently renovated with new furniture.

In addition, for the convenience of students wishing to cook for themselves, a public kitchen on

the basement level is equipped with kitchen utensils, induction ranges and microwaves. In the

basement and on the first floor, a student cafeteria, food court, several cafes and private

restaurants are provided to students. Consequently, a variety of meals are available without even

stepping beyond Woojungwon.



4. ADDITIONAL FACILITIES AND INFORMATION

a. Library

The Central Library is located in front of Philosopher Square near the GSP building. It

houses open stacks of over one million Western and Eastern books and 13,000

In addition, the library provides various academic services online via the KULIS

(Kyung Hee University Library Information System) to ease access to the user’s

personal information as well as loans, purchase requests and applications to various

workshops for a personalized experience. The library's database is also available

Seasons & Weather Conditions

Korea has four distinct seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. Located in the East Asian Monsoon belt, Korea has a hot, humid summer (June-August) and a long, dry, cold winter (November-March). Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are rather short, but very pleasant, with fine weather and many days of sunshine. The Korea Meteorology Administration website (http://www.kma.go.kr) offers additional useful weather information.



f. Bank and Money Exchange

Ÿ Hana Bank is located on the first floor of the Woojungwon dormitory. The business

hours are from 9:00 AM to 16:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and it closes on

weekends and holidays. During the preliminary session, students can fill out the

required forms to open a bank account.

Ÿ Foreign currency can be exchanged into Korean currency (Korean Won) in banks at

the airport, foreign exchange banks, and other authorized money exchanges

including the on-campus Hana Bank. Please note that only US Dollars, Euros,

Japanese Yen or Chinese Yuan can be exchanged at the on-campus bank. A Global

ATM is located right next to the Hana Bank on campus.

Ÿ In addition, students can use their bank card at most ATMs in Korea. ATMs are

easily accessible as they can be found on most street corners or in stores. However,

students can only obtain a bank card after receiving their Alien Registration Card

(ARC). Students may still use the bank before acquiring the ARC, but most banks

will not allow students to deposit cash until they have been issued the

aforementioned card. It is therefore important that students always carry some cash

with them for personal use during this waiting period. It also is possible and easy to

shopping or for other daily payments. Please inquire at the Hana Bank located on

the first floor of the Woojungwon dormitory if you wish this service.
