The Tübingen Center for Korean Studies at Korea University (TUCKU) in Seoul was founded in 2012 and is located on the Korea University campus. Korea University is one of the oldest and most renowned private universities in Korea.
For students of Korean Studies in Tübingen, a one-year stay at TUCKU in the 4th and 5th semester is an integral part of the BA major. In addition to intensive language studies, the students take part in content-related courses in order to deepen their linguistic and regional scientific competence.
This is where both the TUCKU and the managing directorDr. Myoung Hoon Shin'soffice are located. The managing directoris in charge of coordinating the academic exchange between the two universities. Lecturing at Korea University and assisting the students from Tuebingen during their stay in Korea is also part of the managing director’s work.
Students From All Over The World!
Students with Korean Studies Major are required to complete a one year stay at the TUCKU during their 4th and 5th semesters. During that time, students are exempt from paying tuition at the Korean university and can stay in the dormitories on campus. In order to further deepen their linguistic and methodical skills, students will participate in intensive language courses and Korea-related seminars. The TUCKU helps students with organizing internships during the holidays that can be credited as BQ-points in Tuebingen. The integrated one year course at the TUCKU is a special feature of the Department of Korean Studies at Tuebingen University and unique in Germany.
If free spots are available, students with Korean Studies Minor and students of other majors are also eligible to apply for the TUCKU program. The TUCKU also arranges further opportunities to study at other partner universities.
Students who plan a stayin Korea during their Master, whether for field work or further education, also receive help and support for their academic carreerby the TUCKU.The M.A. Transcultural Studies at Heidelberg University offers an interdisciplinary and trans-regional focus, allowing for students interested in Korea to pursue their ambitions.
Korean Studies Portal
Heidelberg University scholars have long been interested in the study of Korea and traditionally research has been strongest in the fields of society and politics and art history, where individual doctoral students were also trained in the analysis of Korea. Despite its research strength, Heidelberg undergraduate teaching on Korea has been lagging behind the significantly larger offerings in Chinese and Japanese studies since the 1960s. The Heidelberg Korean Studies Group was formed in 2011 to fill this gap and to provide interdisciplinary, transcultural training on Korea including a range of Korean language and content classes as of the winter semester 2012 that are in line with the aspirations of one of Europe’s premier center of East Asian Studies working with all scholars from related disciplines in its university.
The Korea Foundation has kindly supported for a lecturer position for language courses since 2012. Four different levels are provided each year: Korean I and Korean III usually in winter semester and Korean II and Korean IV usually in summer semester. You can find the details of the courses for each academic year below.
Project Description: With the kind financial support from the Korean Studies Seed program of the Academy of Korean Studies (2019-2022), the Centre for East Asian Studies of the University of Heidelberg launched a program “Strengthening Korean Studies in Education and Research at the University of Heidelberg”. It has two objectives: first, it tries to strengthen education on contemporary Korea at the Centre for East Asian Studies in Heidelberg focusing on social science perspectives through the development of education program through lecture series with Korea-related socioeconomic and political topics, invitation of visiting professors, and provide of Korea-related regular seminars. Second, this project aims to facilitate research on Korea in Heidelberg by establishing a research project “Global Korea: transnational mobility of people, goods, and ideas”. Through organizing regular workshops, employment of master/doctoral students, and publications on the research topic, we attempt to strengthen Korea-related research activities in Heidelberg.
