Global Studies Pusan National University

Overview

The Department of Global Studies at Pusan National University provides students with a comprehensive view of our globalized world along with interdisciplinary tools and perspectives needed to understand that world. Our innovative vision is to offer undergraduate students an academic experience like that in North American and European universities. The department offers a challenging, interdisciplinary curriculum taught entirely in English.

In addition, all students are encouraged to participate in overseas study during the summer or winter breaks. Professors, who are all native English speakers, take an active and hands-on approach in educating and guiding students. The program further provides a variety of extra-curricular activities, such as book clubs, lunch discussions, movie nights and student/faculty seminars, among other activities.

Career outcomes

The Department of Global Studies will prepare the next generation of Korea’s leaders for careers in international organizations, government, media, policy research, trade associations, and multinational corporations. The inauguration of this new department is thus envisioned as a further step in the university’s and the city’s development as respective hubs of education and global business.
