The two-year specialisation in Korean Studies is unique in the Netherlands. It stems from a long line of Leiden-based Korean scholars, with the first centre for Korean Studies in Western Europe offering classes at Leiden in 1947. Since then the department has grown from strength-to-strength, capitalising on its strong connections with Korean universities and institutions and its international reputation for the quality of its research. Today, staff participate in research projects with colleagues from around the world and sit on a variety of editorial and advisory boards.
Research/PhD
Anyone with a master’s degree can, in principle, apply for a PhD track. The procedure for admission to the PhD track is conducted by means of job applications. However, students with aparticular interest in an academic career are advised to choose for a research master’s programme, since these programmes explicitly prepare students for research at PhD level.
Information about application and programmes can be found at the Leiden Humanities Gradute School website.
