KDI School
President’s Message
The KDI School of Public Policy and Management was founded as an affiliated educational institution of the Korea Development Institute, a premier government economic think tank at the forefront of social science research for the past 40 years. Drawing from the resources of the Institute, the KDI School provides exceptional education that combines current academic theories with comprehensive and innovative practical research to support the national vision and other key policy agendas.
Since its inception 17 years ago, the KDI School has achieved remarkable growth and earned prestige nationally and among emerging
Asian countries as the leading graduate school of public policy. We place a major emphasis on enhancing the capabilities of public sector managers to effectively diagnose and seek solutions for policy issues. Simultaneously, we maintain a keen focus on successfully managing national affairs through a heightened understanding of the rapidly evolving private sector. To date, we have cultivated over 3,700 leaders in the public and private sectors.
With a vision to establish itself as the world’s finest public policy school, we have adopted a new educational model centered on two axes:
to foster world-class leaders equipped with academic and practical expertise and to provide systematic research and education especially on the processes of economic development. Furthermore, we are launching an integrative program in economic development strategy utilizing our education and research to support official development assistance envisioned by the Korean government, which hosted the Seoul G20 Summit in 2010.
On behalf of the KDI School, I look forward to welcoming talented and promising individuals who aspire to contribute to national and international development, cooperation, and co-prosperity.
KIM, Joon-Kyung

Dean’s Message
The KDI School of Public Policy and Management opened in March 1998 with the mission of fostering global leaders in the public and private sectors at home and abroad. Since then the KDI School has achieved remarkable growth with our inaugural group of 55 students increasing to over 330 in 2013. The quality of our educational programs and faculty now rivals other internationally renowned institutions, and our alumni play active roles in diverse sectors including government, public agencies, finance, media, other enterprises,
and international organizations.
The KDI School, by securing a faculty pool with outstanding policy research records, strives to create a rich and interdisciplinary curriculum which combines state-of-the-art theories and the practices of policymaking and implementation. Moreover, our student body with diverse professional and cultural backgrounds provides an open educational environment which leads to a well-connected global alumni network spanning 111 countries.
This allows our students to nurture international perspectives and acquire relevant skills for global leadership. The KDI School also enjoys extensive partnerships with distinguished universities and research institutes around the world for student exchange and other academic programs.
Furthermore, the KDI School aims to solidify Korea’s global leadership in the development field by furthering the Seoul Development Consensus for Shared Growth endorsed at the Seoul G20 Summit. Accumulated policy research and development consulting experience at KDI over the last four decades are valuable assets for a school striving to become a world-class academic institution for development policy studies.
We will channel our best efforts in nurturing growth potential and ensuring resilience in developing countries.
The KDI School of Public Policy and Management remains committed to transforming our students into global leaders with a broad perspective and the capacity to successfully tackling pressing issues in international politics and global economy in a balanced manner
