Located in Seoul, South Korea (Republic of Korea), it is the most prestigious national university in the country. In 1946, when South Korea was liberated from Japanese rule, it was established under the US military administration by integrating Keijo Imperial University (founded in 1926), nine public technical colleges, and one private technical college. In 1970, it moved to a new campus in the suburbs of Seoul as part of a 10-year plan, and its education and research system was also revamped. At that time, the traditional College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was divided into three colleges: Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences, and the College of Commerce was reorganized into a College of Management (a "college" is the equivalent of a "department" in Japan). In addition to these, the university is made up of 16 colleges, including the existing colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Agriculture and Life Sciences, Veterinary Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Engineering, Law, Teacher Education, Life Science, Art, and Music. Each college has a graduate school, and there are professional schools in the fields of environment, administration, and health. In addition, there are 26 research institutes directly under the headquarters and 40 research institutes attached to each college. As of 2006, the university has approximately 1,900 faculty members and 30,000 students. [Toru Magose] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
韓国(大韓民国)、ソウルにある同国でもっとも権威ある国立大学。日本統治から解放された1946年、アメリカ軍統治下に、京城帝国大学(1926年創立)、官立専門学校9校、私立専門学校1校を統合して設立された。1970年から10か年計画でソウル郊外の新キャンパスに移転し、教育研究体制も刷新された。その際、伝統ある文理科カレッジは人文、社会、自然の3カレッジに分割され、商科カレッジは経営カレッジに改組された(「カレッジ」とは、日本でいう「学部」にあたる)。これらに既存の医学、歯学、農業生命科学、獣医学、看護学、薬学、工学、法学、師範、生活科学、美術、音楽の各カレッジを加えた16カレッジから構成されている。大学院は各カレッジにあるが、環境、行政、保健の分野には専門大学院(プロフェッショナル・スクール)がある。このほか、本部直轄研究所26、各カレッジ付設研究所40が設置されている。2006年現在、教員数約1900人、学生数約3万人を数える。 [馬越 徹] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
