HomepageIntroduction
The Department of Chinese Language and Culture was established in 1980 as the Department of Chinese Language and Literature, College of Education, aiming at fostering Chinese experts with systematic and in-depth knowledge on Chinese society and culture as well as fluency in Chinese. Later in 1981, according to reorganization of the school system of the Inha University and social demands for professionals in China equipped with various knowledge and competency at work place, the Department changed its belonging to the College of Humanities in 1981 and was renamed the Department of Chinese and Sinology in 1989, and then, in 2012, to the Department of Chinese Language and Culture as it became affiliated to the College of Foreign Language, Literatures, and Cultures. In 2013, since the Inha University reformed its system in full measure for new education fulfilling globalized modern society, the Department again belonged to the College of Humanities and has run a race to nurture capable students who can lead original change in Korea as well as in the world based on their professional knowledge on China.
