The relationships between the two countries were marked at the 19th century by tumultuous episodes due to French catholic proselytism and expansionist policy in East Asia but also by remarkable and unexpected scholarly achievements. At the 20th century, the isolated initiatives to promote and study Korea in France randomly taken by missionaries, diplomats, collectors and orientalists have been progressively replaced by institutionalized Korean studies that started to be structured within French universities and other higher education institutions with the help of specialists of other areas (China and Japan).

  • Professor Martina Deuchler: the Swiss Expert on Korean Studies
    When she was only 15 years old, Martina Deuchler visited an exhibition of Chinese paintings. She was so impressed with what she saw that she decided on the spot to devote her life to Chinese studies. Eventually she extended her interest to Korea and is today Switzerland’s leading expert on Korean history and culture. While still in high school, she started to learn the Chinese language. After receiving her diploma, she enrolled at Leiden University (Netherlands), where she studied classical Chinese and Japanese. In 1959, she received an invitation from Professor John K. Fairbank, the founder of modern Chinese studies in the United States, to continue her studies at Harvard University. For her doctoral dissertation, she chose to work on the opening of Korea’s seaports to Japan and the Western powers at the end of the 19th century. It was thus diplomatic history that opened Mrs. Deuchler‘s door to Korea. In those Professor Martina Deuchler: days, very few documents on Korean history were available in Western libraries. Therefore, after completing her Ph.D in the Swiss expert on Korean studies history and Far Eastern languages with a dissertation entitled “The Opening of Korea, 1875 - 1884” (published in 1977), she went to Korea to delve into the country’s past in the Royal Archives. A decade after the Korean War, the Republic of Korea was still an agrarian country with little industry, and life was very difficult. Yet during that two-year sojourn, Mrs. Deuchler decided to change the focus of her studies to Korean social history. That was a decisive change that connected her to Korea for the rest of her life.

  • Study Abroad at Korea University 2017 Study Abroad at Korea University
    2017 STUDY ABROAD AT KOREA UNIVERSITY 2017 STUDY ABROAD AT KOREA UNIVERSITY A Message from the President Dear International Students, There has never been a better time than the present to be an international student, indeed with so many inspiring and challenging academic programs at universities all over the world to choose from, we know there are many options available to you. For this reason we are very pleased you are considering studying in Korea and at Korea University (KU). Currently, KU is recognized as the top university in the nation in the area of international education. We have made a conscious effort to provide our students with a top-quality education that exposes them to different ideas and cultures from around the world. This plan also includes an important component of sharing the best of Korean culture with international students who come and study with us here in Seoul. Over the past eight years we have seen a dramatic increase in both the number of courses offered in English (currently about 40%) and in the number of international students who have selected Korea University as their desti- nation of choice for a study abroad experience. Last semester alone (Fall 2016) we welcomed almost 9,500 students to our campus from all parts of the globe. This is certainly a strong testament to the quality of the academic experience offered at KU and to the warm hospitality and inviting environment we have created on campus. We realize that studying in a foreign country presents its own challenges and difficulties. I myself was once an international student in the US in the 1980s so I know firsthand how demanding -- but ultimately rewarding -- the experience can be.
