Korean Language and Literature at Kyung Hee
The Department of Korean Language and Literature was inaugurated in 1955 when Kyung Hee was officially accredited
as a university.
The Department of Korean Language and Literature has produced many writers who are leaders in Korean literary circles.
Our objectives include training creative scholars and writers who will raise Korean literature to an international level and
enhance the value of Hangul (Korean alphabet) and Korean.
For those objectives, we document the Korean cultural inheritance written in Korean and Chinese, and conduct research
into Korean language and literature.
The Department of Korean Language and Literature includes three majors: Korean linguistics, Korean classical literature
