The Department of International Development Cooperation | The Department of History
The faculty-led study abroad program for winter 2025, supported by the Office of International Affairs at Ewha Womans University, has successfully concluded. The program is an overseas learning initiative in which faculty members and enrolled students conduct joint classes and seminars with leading universities and institutions abroad during the break. It is a favorite with students, who can earn academic credit through seasonal courses or overseas credit transfers. Nine groups of 117 students representing eight departments participated in this year’s program, visiting major universities and institutions in North America and Asia to engage in field-based learning activities related to their majors, including joint classes, seminars, and site visits.

The Department of History conducted field studies in Shanghai and Hangzhou and engaged in academic exchanges with local universities for a hands-on encounter with modern East Asian history, while the Department of Philosophy held comparative philosophy classes at National Chengchi University in Taiwan, facilitated discussions and provided guidance on short research papers. The Department of Library & Information Science visited the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Meta to study digital archiving and data-driven information services. The Division of Communication and Media collaborated with Otsuma Women’s University in Japan and Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan to conduct research on photographic media and provide students with practical training related to Korean media content. The Department of Physics facilitated advanced basic science research through joint symposia with laboratories at major universities in Japan, while the Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science visited the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the University of Hong Kong to explore research trends in next-generation materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs).
