An international student from China studying at YU will receive a national scholarship from the Chinese government.
Lu Tan Sheng (26) completed his PhD course at the YU Graduate School of Sociology in February of this year and is currently working on his PhD thesis. Mr. Lu received a scholarship together with a plaque from Minister Hao Shiao Pei of the Chinese Embassy in Korea at the '2014 National Excellent Self-paid International Student Scholarship of China' hosted by the Chinese embassy on the 4th.
The 'National Excellent Self-paid International Student Scholarship' granted by the Chinese government was enacted by the 'National International Student Fund Management Committee' in 2003 and is a program to offer scholarships to international students studying abroad in PhD courses in natural science or social sciences on their own expenses who have displayed excellent research achievements. The 'National Excellent Self-paid International Student Scholarship' is not just simply a financial scholarship, but represents that the recipient of the scholarship is an outstanding international student recognized by the Chinese government, and is expected to have considerable impact after earning their diploma and returning back to their home country. This scholarship began in five countries where there were the highest number of Chinese international students such as England, China, Japan, Germany and France, and it is now offered to students in a total of 32 countries including Korea.
There were 500 recipients of the '2014 National Excellent Self-paid International Student Scholarship'. There were ten Chinese international students in Korea who received this scholarship including Mr. Lu at YU, and other students at Seoul National University, Korea University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Pusan National University. In particular, this scholarship is normally given to students in PhD programs in natural sciences, and it is rare for social science majors like Mr. Lu to receive the scholarship. Only two students including Mr. Lu in Korea majoring in social sciences received this scholarship.
Mr. Lu studied at Soochow University in China and came to YU for his master's degree in 2011. He has been studying at YU for five years since then. After deciding to study in Korea, he visited a number of universities in Korea and spoke with professors and finally decided to go with YU. He said, "The biggest reason I chose YU was because I like the study environment," and added, "I want to thank the school and professors for helping me to concentrate only on my studies until I completed my PhD course."
The 'National Excellent Self-paid International Student Scholarship' recipients are selected after two very strict screenings. After the first screening by the respective embassies in the country, the Chinese government conducts the second review for all international students around the world who passed the first screening. The Chinese government evaluates research theses, international academic conference presentations, and awards among students in PhD courses to select the recipients. Mr. Lu published a total of nine papers in the past two years in professional academic journals, while also presenting his research results a total of three times in domestic and foreign academic conferences, as part of his highly active research activities.
Mr. Lu, who majors in social issue psychology, said, "I am highly interested the sense of alienation and alienation psychology. I will carry out research on positive and negative alienation in various fields such as political-economical alienation, social-cultural alienation, and labor alienation," while adding, "In addition to research activities, I would like to gain a wide range of lecturing experiences and if I am given the opportunity after earning my PhD, I would like to conduct research and lecture at either a Chinese or Korean university." Throughout society, there is a tendency to have less interest and support for social sciences compared to natural sciences or engineering, but I hope that more people will begin to show more interest in the social science sectors in the future."
