POSTECH 30th Anniversary Special Lecture

Prof. Peter Fulde, Emeritus Director and Scientific Director of MPI-PKS

 

Celebrating POSTECH’s 30th anniversary,

Prof. Peter Fulde, Emeritus Director of the Max Plank Institute, will give a Special Lecture on

“The Effect of Basic Science on the Korean Economy”.

 

The doors are open to all POSTECH members, so please do not hesitate to join us in this event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

International Relations is pleased to announce that the application is now open for the ISSS Survival Korean Program for 2016 Fall Semester, where you can develop Korean language skills required to survive in Korea.

 

ISSS Survival Korean Program will provide all international members of POSTECH with an opportunity to learn essential Korean phrases and develop language skills required to survive in Korea. This program will be differentiated from the Korean class provided by POSTECH Language Education Center in that, rather than focusing on learning the materials from the textbook, it will encourage its students to speak up by practicing conversational activities such as role-playing. After learning the materials inside the classroom, occasional class trips will be arranged where you will be given the opportunities to practice what you have previously learned during classes.
 

 

 

○ Eligibility: All international members of POSTECH

○ Application Deadline: September 13, 2016

 

 

 

* Details of the program (e.g., specified days, time, information about textbook, etc.) will be discussed during the orientation on September 28, 2016 (tentative).

 

** Depending on the classes, you may be required to purchase a textbook.

 

*** Space is limited to a maximum of 30 students; it will be first-come, first-served.

Program Overview

 

The World Culture Awareness Programme (WCAP) is organized by the Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education in cooperation with POSTECH.

This program will ultimately help to enhance students’ understanding and respect towards the cultures of the participants.
