AIMS & SCOPE
Hallym University has been designated by the Korean Government as a university
specializing in studies on aging and has received research funding. For
the first time in Korea, both Undergraduate and Graduate Schools of Hallym
University have established courses on Gerontology and Geriatrics. Hallym
University has become the center for research and education on aging in
Korea.
The University publishes foreign countries’ research findings in the
field of social and behavioral sciences carried out in Korea and contributes
to enhancing the domestic research level through academic and research
exchanges with foreign scholars. Considering the cultural characteristics
of Asia toward the aged, Hallym University plans to focus research on Family
and Community Care.
