The KDI School of Public Policy and Management is a graduate school of policy studies founded in 1997 with the support of the Korean government and is the educational arm of the KDI, the nation’s most respected economic think tank. KDI has consistently contributed to the government’s policy making and implementation, and based on KDI’s four decade long research and development consulting experience, our school has been educating public officials and private sector managers from around the globe by providing strategic tools to deal with the growing complexities of the modern world.

As part of the government’s policy, the KDI School relocated its campus to Sejong City, the new administrative center, at the end of 2014.
