Student Exchange Program

Exchange Program

Students in our sister universities can study at Gangneung-Wonju National University for either 6 months or a year. They also have a privilege to study Korean for free at the Korean Language School on campus.

Exchange students have two options

Option 1 : Take university courses only
Option 2 : Take both university courses and Korean language School courses

Either way, you must earn at least six credits from the university courses.
