Overview of the University 1. History For over six hundred years, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has held an extraordinarily special place in the history of Korea. Sungkyunkwan’s contributions to the education and training of royals, scholars, and officials by preeminent philosophers have laid the foundation for numerous national advancements. Since its establishment, the school’s educational tradition has emphasized the four principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. SKKU was founded in 1398 during the Joseon Dynasty. In 1895, the school was officially reformed into a modern university. In 1953, SKKU was promoted to a comprehensive university with the opening of its graduate school. The Natural Sciences Campus in Suwon (Korean Silicon Valley) opened in 1978. In 1996 Samsung Group joined the University Foundation which represents the beginning of an era of unbridled growth for SKKU. 2.

  • 10. When Did Joseon's Population Reach Ten
    10. WHEN DID JOSEON’S POPULATION REACH TEN MILLION? Ko Dong-Hwan Korea underwent tremendous population growth during the twentieth century. Despite all the turbulence of the modern period, the population of the peninsula quadrupled. The country began the century with around seventeen million people. In the year 2009, the population of South Korea was about forty-eight million, ranking twenty-fourth in the world – similar in size to Spain and South Africa. North Korea had an estimated popula- tion of about twenty-four million in 2009, which ranked fifty-first in the world. Countries of comparable numbers include Yemen and Mozambique. If the two Koreas reunified, the total population of seventy-two million would rank eighteenth in the world. It would have more people than France, Congo, and Turkey, but fewer than Germany, Egypt, and Iran. The city of Seoul has undergone perhaps even more remarkable population growth. Its population was almost 10.5 million in 2009, which made it the eighth largest city in the world. In terms of the entire metropolitan area, it would be the second largest, behind only Tokyo. Joseon also experienced significant demographic change during the 518 years of its existence. At its founding in 1392, the population was about 5.5 million people, and it was around seventeen million at its end in 1910. As the title indicates, this chapter begins by trying to answer the question of when the population of the country reached ten million. Though this is an arbitrary number, it can serve as a rough indicator of the achievement of a certain level of economic and social development.

However, watch your spam folde. My emails from SKKU went to the spam folder of my UU email. counselling & support at Utrecht University The people from the exchange office were very helpful and if you had any questions you could always ask them. academic preparation Nothing needed really. language preparation I studied some Korea at home. Not super useful, but can come in handy, however the basic Korean class will be very boring. Learning to read hangul is recommended though. finances 4000 euros was required beforehand and it is certainly doable with 4000 euros. STUDY ABROAD PERIOD study programme (content and organisational issues) I took 18 credits. You can select courses online before the semester starts, however, don’t expect all of them to be your final choice. A few of my courses were cancelled because there were not enough people.

  • The History of Division in the Conception of National Literature
    1 The History of Division in the Conception of National Literature Seong-su Kim (Sungkyunkwan University) 1. The purpose of this article is to analyze the how the conception of the term Minjok Moonhak (national literature) has been perceived differently in South and North Korea. In other words, this article will examine how the modern concept of ‘Moonhak,’ Korean equivalent for ‘literature,’ which was shared by both Koreas during the colonial period, is now perceived differently due to ideological differences under the ‘socialist vs. liberal democracy’ system on the Korean Peninsula after division. The discussion of the division of the conception of national literature is conversely based on the premise that both Koreas have historically shared the same concept. Notwithstanding the system of division, which has lasted for more than 70 years, the speech community composed of spoken (Korean/Joseon- eo) or written (Hangul/Joseon-mun) language 1 is still viable; each language does not require interpretation and translation. This is fortunate, given that there is a high possibility that the Korean Peninsula will be reunited someday. When discussing the national literature of South and North Korea, academic discussion will be impossible if one side is consistently regarded as orthodox and disparages the other. If each country does not recognize the value of the writers and works of its counterpart because the two Koreas are caught up in the realms of ideology, Korean cultural heritage that encompasses both North and South Korea will be greatly reduced. From the perspective of Conceptual History [Begriffsgeschichte], which historically analyzes certain concepts and terms, ‘Korean literature and Joseon literature’ are not synonyms for ‘national literature,’ but are rather antonyms.

  • Siamese-Korean Relations in the Late Fourteenth Century
    Siamese-Korean Relations in the Late Fourteenth Century Hung-Guk Cho Abstract This paper does not interpret the contacts between Korea and Siam at the end of the fourteenth century as having developed into diplomatic relations. Rather, it considers the possibility of the Siamese “envoys” who came to Korea as having been not the diplomatic delegates dispatched by the Siamese court, but Ayutthaya- based Chinese merchants who passed themselves off as such, and the possibility that the party of envoys sent to Siam by the Korean government was not given an audience by the Siamese court. Two reasons are suggested to explain why the contacts did not develop into long-lasting commercial or diplomatic relations. Firstly, there was the danger of Japanese pirates on the sea route from Nanyang to Korea; secondly, Chinese merchants in Ayutthaya may not have found any profit in trading with Korea. Introduction In the history of the trade between Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia before modern times, the fourteenth century should be considered as a watershed in the historical development of the various countries of the two regions. About 1294, the kingdom of Majapahit in Java, Indonesia, developed into a maritime empire, with most of insular Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Kalimantan, and the Maluku Islands, under its control, and engaged in active foreign trade. In Siam, the kingdom of Ayutthaya, founded in the mid-fourteenth century, made overseas trade its most important business from its beginning. The Ming Dynasty, founded in China in the same period, confined foreign trade to tributary relations, controlling all Chinese maritime activities.

  • A Study on the Change of Gojong(高宗)七architectural
    ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH, Vol. 20, No. i(March 2018). pp. 1-8 pISSN 1229-6163 elSSN 2383-5575 A Study on the Change of Gojong(高宗 ) 七 Architectural View and the Aspect of the Constructions of Architectures Working: Through the Change of the Architectures in the Royal Palace Dongchun Seo Department of Architecture, Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea https://doi.org/10.5659/AIKAR.2018.20.L1 Abstract Gojong(高宗 )had experienced extravagant change during a period of reign and he was located in the center of the change. He was the king who also experienced various changes in construction and accomplished a large number of construction activities aggressively. Gojong could acquire the information and details about anarchitecture, through the experience of a lot of large-scale construction activities in a regency period of Heungseon-Daewongun(興宣大院君 ).After opening of a port, as the western culture and technology was flowed in Korea, the knowledge of western architecture also was introduced. Gwanmungak(觀 文閣 )was constructed in Kyeongbokgung Palace under that influence in 1888, but the construction was not successfully finished. Due to the failure of Gwanmungak, Gojong no more constructed a western architecture until 1897. He was aware of the merits of western architectures while living in the western architecture during Agwanpacheon(俄館播遷 ).And he led a lot of constructions of the western architectures in Kyeongungung(慶運宮 ).It is possible to arrange in two reasons about the interest in an architecture of Gojong. Firstly, Gojong was individually interested in the architectures, and he constantly accomplished constructions of new buildings from childhood. And secondly, Gojong thought that western architecture has an advantage in the international situations.
