The Graduate School of Korean Studies (GSKS), the Academy of Korean Studies(AKS), which is responsible to the Ministry of Education, is research-oriented in the fields of humanities and social sciences pertinent to Korea. It was established in 1980 to nurture scholars who will contribute to the development and globalization of Korean studies.
Since then, GSKS has been providing intensive research-oriented education through eminent professors’ close mentoring of students.
Currently, approximately 220 students, including 94 international students from 29 different countries, are enrolled in the Master’s and doctoral degree program at GSKS.
The AKS Graduate Fellowship is GSKS’ non-degree program which invites international graduate students to the AKS and supports them for six
months, providing them with momentum to grow to be the next generation of promising scholars in Korean studies. AKS Graduate Fellows for the
