Graduate School of General Studies

KMOU graduate school of General Studies hasrecently been reorganized as part of an extensive, overall plan to improve the University’s status
in the present age of cutting-edge technology and high-tech information. The school has grown at a rapid pace to become one of the leading research
organizations for various interdisciplinary studies in Korea. The research programs and project-driven academic activities offered at the school prepare students to become world leaders in their respective fields. They leave KMOU with in-depth academic knowledge and professional skills after obtaining advanced degrees. The University is the only national university in the country that offers highly specialized graduate programs in a great variety of fields such as Economics, International Commerce, Shipping Management, Vessel Engineering, Ocean Science, and International Affairs, all in their systematic
and interdisciplinary aspects. The faculty members share their research results and work closely with the relevant industries and government bodies
through a number of collaborative studies. Total 35 master’s and 32 doctorate courses, in the fields of Social Sciences & Humanities, Engineering, and
Natural Sciences, are offered including two corporate-sponsored programs and two joint programs with the Korean Navy and KMI (Korea Maritime Institute).

Department of Coast Guard Studies

The Department of Coast Guard Studies is dedicated to the betterment of analysis and research of the coast guard's mission which is related to marine safety, environmental protection, disaster prevention, search and rescue, and maritime administration.

Currently, the Department of Coast Guard Studies consists of two majors; Marine Environment and Safety, and Coast Guard Administration.

The majors offer 2-year master's programs leading to degrees in Master of Coast Guard Studies. The Doctoral program is offered to qualified students to advance their scholarly capabilities and research skills in both majors.

The department also provides diverse extra-curricular learning opportunities through themed seminars and various field trips.

Students are encouraged to be well-educated managers who devote their energy to effective and safe administration and preservation of the marine environment.

Curriculum

Theory of Aids to Navigation

This course provides advanced knowledge of aids to navigation and the development tendency of visual aids, audible aids, and radio beacons. It also provides studies of the present condition of advanced aids to navigation for different countries.

Special Topics on Shipping Route Design

Based on evaluation techniques for marine traffic quantity and hazards, which are needed for shipping route design, this course provides shipping route design techniques and the simulation for optimal route models - traffic systems, and installation of safety facilities.

Advanced Maritime Safety Engineering

This course includes the identification and analysis of various hazards in marine activities. Based on these analyses, the course provides engineering approaches for the prevention of disasters and calamity predictions.

Special Topics on Marine Search and Rescue

This course provides details on how to search the scene of accidents, how to rescue injured, strategies for search-and-rescue operations, and the organization and communication systems of search-and-rescue operations.

Special Topics on Marine Oil Pollution Response

This course provides advanced knowledge of marine oil pollution responses - characteristics of marine oil pollution, strategies and techniques for pollution responses, weathering and movement of spilled oil, coastal pollution responses, developments of various pollution response scenarios, and details of national contingency plans.

Marine Environmental Simulation

This course provides the modeling methods for the simulation of seawater movement, transportation of marine pollutants, interactions between sea and air, density stratification and ecosystems of the sea.

Special Topics on Maritime Security

This course provides advanced skills and techniques on security, security assessment, and security plans for ship and port facilities in order to enhance maritime security. Countermeasures are discussed and analyzed according to maritime security threats.
