Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen
During the last ten years the Department of Political Science has developed into a large and well-functioning department at the University of Copenhagen with approximately 1500 students, and 300 exchange and guest students from abroad visiting every year. The number of applicants to the degree programmes is extremely high, and this has led to a situation in which the average grades required from high school are among the highest in Denmark. The faculty consists of approximately 50 professors, associate professors and assistant professors. Moreover, the department has about 30 enrolled doctoral students. There are 20 administrators. The Department of Political Science was founded in 1960 but at that time it was called the Department of Contemporary History and Political Science. From 1965 the first cohort of MA students enrolled in the department. From 1991 graduates were awarded the title of cand. scient. pol. (MSc in Political Science). Thus the department offers both an undergraduate degree (BSc in Political Science) and a postgraduate degree (MSc in Political Science). Currently the department is working towards an extension of degree programmes, in particular English-taught MSc courses. The graduates of this department are in high demand and they obtain attractive jobs in public administration and in the private sector. The research produced by the faculty has reached a high international level. University of Copenhagen
The Chair of Public Finance is part of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and one of the 5 economics departments at TU Chemnitz. The field of Public Finance is especially concerned with any government interaction within a national economy, related revenue and expenses, and the resulting allocation of resources as well as income distribution. Existing policies are examined and criteria for governmental interference are developed. A vital role of Public Finance is the conception of institutions engaged in providing incentives that are promoting behavior in favour of public welfare. Another field of interest arises in political economics focused on the attainment of macroeconomic goals such as growth and employment rates. Not least concerned with government distribution policies, Public Finance analyses market failure in terms of fair income and capital distribution and tries to develop instruments to amend these issues by the application of appropriate social policies and taxation.

What does the Bank of England do? The Bank of England is the UK’s central bank. Our mission is to promote the good of the people by maintaining monetary and financial stability. The Bank of England was established in 1694 to act as banker to the Government, but our responsibilities have changed a lot since then. Banknotes One of our most well-known responsibilities is to design and print banknotes and make sure they get to the places they’re needed. Only the Bank of England can issue banknotes in England and Wales, but seven commercial banks can issue them in Scotland and Northern Ireland. We have to make sure that people have confidence in our currency – in other words, that they can feel sure that the banknotes they use are genuine. So we make sure our banknotes include the latest anti-forgery features, and we provide training and education resources to help people spot fake notes. In September 2016 we issued a new £5 note, which was our first banknote made from polymer. Polymer is a thin, flexible plastic material. Polymer notes are much harder to forge, and they’re also longer lasting and cleaner than paper notes. We’ve since issued a polymer £10 note too, and we’ll be introducing polymer £20 notes in 2020. Monetary policy The Bank of England is responsible for keeping the UK’s economy on the right track. One of the ways we do this is through monetary policy. We operate monetary policy by moving the interest rate (formally known as Bank Rate) up and down and, in certain circumstances, we also supplement this with measures such as quantitative easing. Decisions on monetary policy are made by our Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) eight times a year. Financial stability The Bank of England is responsible for making sure the financial system is safe and sound. We also provide critical services to the real economy in good times and bad. Our Financial Policy Committee (FPC) identifies and monitors risks in the financial system, and takes action to reduce or remove them where necessary. We can offer possible liquidity support to financial institutions which are struggling to secure access to sufficient cashflow, potentially putting them in danger of collapse. We don’t, however, offer financial support to firms that are in danger of insolvency. Instead, we manage failed financial institutions through our resolution process. Payment and settlement Payments play a key role in the smooth functioning of the economy. The Bank of England acts as a settlement agent for banks and others who are members of several payment systems. On an average day we settle around £500 billion worth of payments between banks, almost a third of the UK’s annual gross domestic product (GDP). These transactions span, or back, almost every payment in the UK economy – from salaries to company invoices, from car purchases to coffee sales, from pensions to investment flows. We also settle the net interbank transfers for several retail and card systems. In other words, we provide a safe, risk-free means for banks to transfer money to each other. This reduces the risk for everyone involved in these kinds of transactions, and promotes financial stability. Banking services We provide wholesale banking services to the UK Government, over 100 overseas central banks and, where there are financial stability reasons to do so, certain other financial sector firms. Research Our research underpins everything we do, from drawing up policies to designing banknotes. Bank of England researchers take part in academic conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals. Our staff can voice their own views on topical research issues in the Bank Underground blog and in working papers, which we publish to encourage comments and debate. We also organise our own research seminars and conferences. Our research agenda sets out the main themes of our research priorities. We welcome contribution to our research from academics, policymakers and experts outside the Bank of England and across all disciplines. Statistics and data We gather and analyse data from banks and building societies, credit unions, insurers and mortgage companies. We publish much of this data in our regular statistical releases. The data we gather is used within the Bank to inform policy decisions, and also by UK government departments and international organisations. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is a major customer for our data. We also provide data to the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Regulating and supervising financial firms The Bank of England regulates and supervises some types of financial firms. We supervise financial market infrastructures, which provide functions that are critically important to the UK financial system, such as payment systems and clearing houses. Our Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) regulates and supervises financial services firms.

Ewha womans university was Korea’s first educational institute for women. It was founded in 1886 by Mary F. Scranton, an American missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The school’s name “Ewha” was bestowed by Emperor Gojong (the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty, 1863~1907). The three virtues Ewha promotes are truth, goodness, and beauty. In 1910, a 4-year college course was established, but in 1943, during the Japanese colonial rule, the school was deprived of its name “Ewha” and was downgraded to a 1-year course institute. In 1945, when Korea became liberated from Japan, the school took back its name and at this time, Ewha Womans University was officially established. As of now, the university has 15 graduate schools, 11 colleges with 67 departments, and several research institutes.

Department of Government, Cornell University
Cornell’s department of government is devoted to the study of political power, political institutions, public policy, public opinion and participation, political economy, interactions between citizens and governments, and the international system. The Graduate Program is divided into four subfields: American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory. To be admitted to doctoral study, students are required to take a comprehensive written exam in one of these fields. For their second field exam, students choose either to take an exam in a second field or to be examined on a Course of Study of their own design. Constructed around intellectual concerns and research problems of the student’s own choosing, the Course of Study is not to be conceived as a specialization within the student’s major field: rather, it should pursue issues which link several fields of study within political science and related disciplines. Students are expected to complete their field examinations by the end of their third year. We expect our graduates to possess a broad understanding of the discipline, specialized expertise in one or more areas, and competence in social science methods. First-year students are required to take at least one reading course in three of four fields. During their study at Cornell, students must complete 12 graduate-level courses in Government and related fields. (Up to three courses may be transferred from graduate programs at other institutions.) Doctoral students must demonstrate competence in either a foreign language or statistics and complete at least three major research papers prior to admission to candidacy. In addition, they are expected to serve as teaching assistants for at least one semester. Experience in undergraduate teaching under the supervision of a faculty member is essential preparation for an academic career and an important component of the graduate program at Cornell. Most Ph.D. students serve as teaching assistants for at least two years. Cornell University
