Pusan National University, located in Geumjeong-gu, South Korea, offers a bachelor's degree in the Department of Global Studies, taught in English over four years. Global studies programs generally examine how political, economic, social, and cultural forces connect across countries and regions, and students typically take courses in international relations, global economics, comparative politics, world history, and cross-cultural communication. Coursework often blends broad theoretical frameworks for understanding globalization with detailed regional studies, allowing students to focus on specific parts of the world, including East Asia, while still developing a global perspective. Students may study topics such as international organizations, global governance, migration, and the effects of trade and technology on societies around the world, often through discussion-based seminars and research projects. Because the program is based in South Korea, students gain direct exposure to a country actively engaged in regional diplomacy, international trade, and cultural exchange, which can inform coursework and discussions of contemporary global issues. Graduates of global studies programs are commonly prepared for careers in international organizations, government and diplomacy, international business, journalism, nongovernmental organizations, and further graduate study in international relations, political science, or area studies. Teaching the program in English allows students from outside Korea to pursue this degree without first needing advanced Korean language skills, while studying at a large national university with a strong regional presence. Students admitted through the March or September intakes follow a four-year path that moves from foundational courses in politics, economics, and world history toward more focused study of specific regions and global issues.
