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.

Partner school students can join each of the 3 campuses either as an exchange student or fee-paying student. Students need to consult their home university office before deciding which status to choose. The exchange student option may not be available on some campuses in the absence of a student exchange program between partner and host university; in this case, a student can only join as a fee-paying student. The student will be responsible for his/her own airfare, housing, meals and other transportation costs for the program.
