First Ph.D. in Brain Education Awarded


In Korea, the school year officially begins in March. At this time of year, an entrance ceremony is held, along with a graduation ceremony for those students who completed their studies the previous year.

UBE held its Entrance and Graduation ceremonies on March 3rd. An unexpected snow blanketed the campus, covering newly planted flowers. I, along with approximately 125other students, marked the beginning of our studies in the Master and Doctorate degree programs in the departments of Brain Education, Traditional Korean Cultural Studies, or Peaceology.

During the graduation ceremony, 15 students received their Master degree.

The first doctorate degree in Brain Education was awarded to Ha Tae Min, a former teacher who conducted research on the effects of a Brain Education program in a middle school.

Ha Tae Min will go on to do research on the effects of Brain Education in collaboration with the University of London.

Congratulations to all of the graduates and to those starting their studies!
