Interdisciplinary Program of Technology and Development (IPTD)
The First Master Program Combining Development Perspective and Technology
(*This is a master’s program intended only for female students from developing countries, and is separated from the Ewha GSIS master’s program)
Introduction
In 2007, the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development in Korea made an effort to specialize a program of Development and Cooperation. As a part of its effort, the Ministry has granted Ewha to take the initiative to institutionalize an interdisciplinary program which combines practical technology and theoretical Development and Cooperation. In this effort, Ewha has newly launched the first program of its kind in Korea, Interdisciplinary Program of Technology and Development. In 2008, Ewha will invite the motivated students from developing countries who have great interests in global development and cooperation issues
The unique curriculum of IPTD is designed to be compact, allowing students to finish the program in one and a half years. As well, the curriculum is well-balanced between theory and practice, consisting half of the courses as laboratory work. All students of this program will be given full scholarship and living stipend for the entire course of their studies at Ewha. The graduates of the program are expected to be leaders in their own specialty areas who will integrate knowledge and experiences to partake in the international effort to achieve the global agenda of the 21st century.
Educational Goals
The Interdisciplinary Program of Technology and Development aims to produce international specialists with hands-on experiences in the areas of IT, Design, or Health/Environment. The program offers a multidisciplinary program to educate students with a curriculum that emphasizes the balance of theory and practice, to nurture leadership through effective negotiation skills and cross-cultural communication skills. All students are required to take classes in the subject areas of ODA: Theory and Practice, Gender and Development, International Negotiations and Strategies and Cross-Cultural Communication in order to give students a fuller understanding of current global affairs. To encourage hands-on experiences in their specialty areas, students are expected to participate in various practical research projects and industry/research-center internships. The Interdisciplinary Program of Technology and Development will allow students to be competent professionals in the globalizing era of the 21st century.
