Yeungnam University is a comprehensive private university located in Gyeongsan, South Korea.

Yeungnam has greatly contributed to the industrialization, democratization and advancement of Korea with over 200,000 graduates.
A joint project has been launched between Enderun Colleges and Yeungnam University which aims to globalize an academic discipline of ‘Saemaul Studies’ and spread the Saemaul Undong Spirit. The two institutions are working together to cultivate leaders with the skills needed to build long, fulfilling careers in various fields and enact programs that will largely contribute to the social good. A new department has been created as the administrative unit for this partnership called Department of Saemaul Studies and Economic Development. The department will offer not only a new Bachelor’s Degree in Economics (BSEcon) with specialization in Saemaul Undong and International Development Cooperation but also professional certificates in Saemaul Undong and seminars and workshops on Sustainable Community Development.
Yeungnam University also provides an opportunity for graduates of Enderun’s BSGE to pursue their master’s degree in Saemaul Studies and Leadership at the Park Chung Hee School of Policy and Saemaul (PSPS) of Yeungnam University.
Yeungnam University’s PSPS is a unique institute which offers a full scholarship graduate program reflecting its practical and theoretical know-how from 35 years of research and education in the field of Saemaul Undong.
