2024 International Institute of Korean Studies (IKSU) Summer School

The International Institute of Korean Studies (IKSU) at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) launched the Korean Studies Summer School in 2021. The IKSU Korean Studies Summer School is free to attend and open to all. This Summer School is funded by the Korean Studies Promotion Service of the Academy of Korean Studies, Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea (South Korea).

Korean Studies is not only about Korea as a part of Area Studies, but it has wider disciplinary approaches, including anthropology, politics, international relations, and so on. In light of this, IKSU Summer School provides lectures about Korea (both North and South) based on various disciplines.
