A Message from the President

Dear International Students,

There has never been a better time than the present to be an international student, indeed with so many inspiring and challenging academic programs at universities all over the world to choose from, we know there are many options available to you. For this reason we are very pleased you are considering studying in Korea and at Korea University (KU).

Currently, KU is recognized as the top university in the nation in the area of international educa-tion. We have made a conscious effort to provide our students with a top-quality education that exposes them to different ideas and cultures from around the world. This plan also includes an important component of sharing the best of Korean culture with international students who come and study with us here in Seoul.

Over the past nine years we have seen a dramatic increase in both the number of courses offered in English (currently about 40%) and in the number of international students who have selected Korea University as their destination of choice for a study abroad experience. In 2017 alone we welcomed more than 18,000 students to our campus from all parts of the globe. This is certainly a strong testament to the quality of the academic experience offered at KU and to the warm hospitality and inviting environment we have created on campus.

We realize that studying in a foreign country presents its own challenges and difficulties. I myself was once an international student in the US in the 1980s so I know firsthand how demanding -- but ultimately rewarding -- the experience can be. For this reason you will find the information in this booklet very helpful and once you arrive on campus, the staff at Korea University Global Services Center will be an invaluable resource to assist you in all your needs. Also, we encourage you to partner-up with a KUBA (Korea University Buddy Assistant) who will be very glad to ensure your adjustment to life in Korea, and at KU, is easy and enjoyable.

As you review this booklet and consider the course and program offerings, remember that we will do our best to ensure your time with us is academically stimulating and personally rewarding. Also, we look forward to receiving your own contributions to the KU community so that our program continues to grow and improve.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Jaeho YeomPresident

KU has established extensive links with many universities internationally through its StudentExchange Program (SEP), which was developed as part of its internationalization process. This programinvolves over one thousand students to and from countries in Asia-Pacific, Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East.

The benefits of KU exchange students vary according to the terms and conditions of the exchange agreement KU has concluded with each institution. Based on the principle of reciprocal exchange of benefits, our standard ex-change agreements regulate student tuition fee waivers at host universities: however, students are responsible for room and board. Exchange students are also responsible for their own travel, medical insurance and other personal expenses.

International students whose home institutions do not have an exchange agreement with KU nor have links with ISEP can also apply to study at KU through the Visiting Student Program (VSP).

Exchange & Study Abroad at Korea University

Exchange & Study Abroad at Korea University

Period of Study International students have a choice of three study periods:- Full academic year: March - December- Spring semester: March - June- Fall semester: September - December

Credit Transfer Academic credits earned through this program can be transferred under the exchange regulations and used to satisfy degree require-ments at home institutions. Visiting students must check with their home institution regarding the credit acceptability of chosen courses. For each student who has completed his/her courses successfully, a certified transcript of academic performance will be sent to the student’s home institution upon request.

AssessmentEach student’s academic performance is graded according tothe following criteria: exams, assignment, attendance, and class participation. Students usually take regular examinations twice per semester (mid-term and final). They may also be given additionalassignments by their professors. A minimum 70% of attendance is required in order for a student to earn a passing grade. A student’s performance is normally graded on a 100 point scale.

Course OfferingsKU offers many courses in English in various disciplines at the un-dergraduate and postgraduate levels, and the number is increas-ing every year. Please note that it is not guaranteed that the same list of courses is offered to students every year but normally there are only minor changes. It is important that you ensure that your intended courses will be offered in your registered semester.http://sugang.korea.ac.kr > English
