Half-year Program

A flexible, short-term option is offered in order to accommodate students from Europe and the Americas whose home institution's academic curriculum cannot permit a full year of study abroad. Students from partner institutions will be able to study during the spring semester at Yonsei with students from Keio and HKU. This will be preceded by a tailor-made two-week program at Keio, and followed by an eight-week summer program in Hong Kong.
