This program is expected to contribute to the capacity-building in environmental policy of partnering countries by allowing the participants to experience Korea’s development process, acquire specialized knowledge in the field of environment through intensive training, and strengthen the ability for policy development and analysis.
With the ownership of the program, the KME will put its best efforts to support participants of MGLEP not only in expanding their knowledge of environmental policy and technology, but also establishing valuable networks and experiencing Korean culture, society and history through this invitation program for officials of our partnering countries.
NationalInstituteofEnvironmentalHumanResourcesDevelopment(NIEHRD)
The National Institute of Environmental Human Resources Development (hereinafter referred to as “NIEHRD”) is a national training institute of the Ministry of Environment, which was established with an aim to improve capacity building of government officials in 1980. After several reorganizations, it became an independent national environmental training institute in 2006, providing education programs not only for government officials but also for employees in the environmental field and general public as well.
NIEHRD has also carried out international programs for foreign government officials, with a view to sharing Korea’s experiences in the field of the environment with other countries. As of December 2017, it has conducted training programs for 2,576 officials from 96 countries, providing a venue for sharing Korea’s environmental policies and cutting-edge environmental technologies.

GSP is the only institution that has ranked continuously and consistently among the top three. The GSP family consists of students from more than 30 countries from a variety of backgrounds, religious affiliations and extensive international experience. The impact of this international diversity on the GSP program is enormous, adding varied perspectives to classroom discussions, team projects and everyday interactions. GSP helps students improve their knowledge and skills to reach international standards. Students learn both the theory and practice of international development, economics and business, and global issues around the world. New leadership for the 21st century requires creative problem solving and an in-depth understanding of the global agenda. With a rich source of international, academic and policy experiences, the GSP faculty prepares students for these leadership requirements.
GSP has offered the Master’s Program in Industry and Trade Policy (MIT) for public officers from partner developing countries. Recently, GSP has launched another graduate degree program, the Master’s Program for Future Global Leaders in Environmental Policy (MGLEP). Both programs are sponsored by the Korean Government. These programs are producing a strong synergy effect with the institution’s other degree programs and have expanded its global alumni nexus to over 50 countries.

Kyung Hee University maintains 19 graduate schools and 24 colleges on 3 campuses (Seoul,
Global, and Kwangneung). As a leading private university in Korea founded with the mission to
create a civilized world, Kyung Hee University pursues global eminence with its state of the art
research facilities and renowned faculty informed by the Common Society Movement which was
established by the International Association of University Presidents and the United Nations
International Day of Peace and which received the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education, held the
World Civic Forum in association with the United Nations in 2009, and held a joint conference
with the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the
International Day of Peace in 2011.
Kyung Hee strives to bridge cultural and social disparities by promoting mutual understanding
and prosperity. As a result, it encourages frequent exchanges with its sister schools overseas to
facilitate the exchange of ideas. These activities advance a shared belief in the value of learning.
The university has steadfastly pursued exchanges with 256 sister universities and affiliated
institutions in 54 countries, among them Harvard University in the US, Catholic University of
Leuven in Belgium, Cambridge University in the UK, Beijing University in China, the University of
British Columbia in Canada, Keio University in Japan, the Autonomous University of Guadalajara

The Graduate School of Pan-Pacific International Studies (GSP) was established at the Global
Campus in 1996 as one of nine government-funded graduate programs of international studies.
The school is currently running four departments: International Trade and Economic Cooperation
(IT & EC), International Business (IB), International Relations, and International Development
Cooperation (IDC). In addition, it also offers two tailored programs: the Master of Arts in
International Development and Consulting (MIDAC) and the Master of Arts in Industry and Trade
Policy (MIT).
In 2002, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and GSP initiated a master’s
program for international students from developing countries. The program has been deemed as
one of the most excellent master's programs among those offered under the KOICA scholarship
program. Until now, more than 300 alumni from 40 countries have graduated from this program.
Subsequently, GSP was nominated by the Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources
Department as the institution which would train and educate experts in Official Development
Assistance (ODA) in 2007. This ODA program offers not only educational content, but also many
opportunities to work with other institutions including government agencies and NGOs.
Since its foundation, GSP has achieved remarkable success in its quality of international studies.
The objective of a GSP education is to produce experts in international and global affairs who
can meet the challenges of globalization and normalization, and who are equipped with core
skills in their respective areas of study, practical expertise, strong problem-solving ability,
international awareness and vision.

Ÿ Hana Bank is located on the first floor of the Woojungwon dormitory. The business
hours are from 9:00 AM to 16:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and it closes on
weekends and holidays. During the preliminary session, students can fill out the
required forms to open a bank account.
Ÿ Foreign currency can be exchanged into Korean currency (Korean Won) in banks at
the airport, foreign exchange banks, and other authorized money exchanges
including the on-campus Hana Bank. Please note that only US Dollars, Euros,
Japanese Yen or Chinese Yuan can be exchanged at the on-campus bank. A Global
ATM is located right next to the Hana Bank on campus.
Ÿ In addition, students can use their bank card at most ATMs in Korea. ATMs are
easily accessible as they can be found on most street corners or in stores. However,
students can only obtain a bank card after receiving their Alien Registration Card
(ARC). Students may still use the bank before acquiring the ARC, but most banks
will not allow students to deposit cash until they have been issued the
aforementioned card. It is therefore important that students always carry some cash
with them for personal use during this waiting period. It also is possible and easy to
upgrade your regular ATM card to a VISA or MASTERCARD for use when online
shopping or for other daily payments. Please inquire at the Hana Bank located on
the first floor of the Woojungwon dormitory if you wish this service.

post office provides general mailing services including mail, parcel post, registration,
