Introduction to Yonsei International Winter School

Yonsei University, founded in 1885, is the oldest university in Korea and has been a pioneer in education. The university's vision, "Yonsei: Toward Truth and Freedom," aims to foster innovative leaders with a sense of community. In 2013, Yonsei University launched the International Winter School, providing students with the opportunity to experience Korean culture and grow as global citizens.

Program Overview

The International Winter School offers a balanced faculty composed of Yonsei and international university professors. The program includes:

• Korean cultural experiences
• Special activities
• Specialized education for global talent, with the possibility of earning credits

Before Applying

Students must confirm with their home university's Study Abroad Office or Advisor to determine if credits earned through the International Winter School can be transferred. This includes verifying the method of credit transfer, GPA calculation, and grading options.

Exchange Students

Exchange students are those who participate in a direct exchange between Yonsei University and their home university. The selection process and criteria may vary depending on the university and the number of students exchanged. Students must confirm the application deadline and process with their home university, as it may differ from Yonsei University's application period.

Credit Transfer
