The Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) was established to train international specialists, provide in-depth education, and prepare students for global challenges. In order to equip our students with international experience that will prove invaluable to their future careers, GSIS has instituted several exchange programs with top universities across several continents.
The goals of our exchange program include improving our students' language capabilities, providing students with special cultural and socio-psychological orientation and quality educational training in a uniquely diverse setting, and allowing qualified international exchange students to experience Korea at the top notch university in Korea.
First, you can apply to GSIS student exchange programs.
The list of exchange universities are uploaded on the Exchange Partners page.
The application deadlines are usually in February (for the Fall semester) and in August (for the Spring semester of the next academic year).
Second, you can apply to SNU student exchange programs.
You may find the relevant information regarding the list of universities and application deadlines on the Office of International Affairs website (http://oia.snu.ac.kr).
* Applicants who have finished their 2nd semester should also submit the following form: “Confirmation of Advisor Approval for Applicants of Exchange Program in their Fourth Semester.”
Applicants are required to submit documents to the Office of International Cooperation (Room 303, Bldg.140-1).
The tuition of the host university will be waived. Instead, GSIS students are required to pay the tuition to SNU in time.
Welcome to SNU Graduate School of International Studies!

The following information applies only to students admitted under the auspices of their respective home university-Seoul National University exchange program. Students wishing to enroll in a full degree program are not covered under this exchange and should seek further guidance from the Office of International Affairs at Seoul National University (http://oia.snu.ac.kr).
All courses in the International Commerce, International Cooperation and International American Area Studies are taught in English. The International Area Studies courses are taught in those area languages and/or in Korean. Finally, the Korea Studies courses are taught in Korean and/or in English.
Two Korean language courses are offered at GSIS for 3 credits. Each Intensive Korean course is available from SNU's Language Education Institute (http://lei.snu.ac.kr/site/en/klec/main/main.jsp). Terms include four 10-week sessions per year. Each term is 1,400,000 Korean Won (approx. 1,400 USD). Students can take a course before their term at GSIS begins. Courses begin on the first Monday of March, June, September, and December.
Exchange students are encouraged to study the Korean language before coming to Korea. However, English is widely used and understood in Seoul.
Most subways and buses have stop announcements in English. Many foreigners do not experience big difficulties living in Korea whether their Korean is fluent or not.
All programs under the Graduate School of International Studies (except for restricted enrollment programs) are open to incoming exchange students. Other courses of interest are negotiable.
One semester (may extend for an additional semester if discussed with the Director at both universities)
International Commerce, International Cooperation, Area Studies (America, Asia, Europe) and Korean Studies.

12 credits (4 courses). Exchange students can take more or less credits at their request from the director. Most of our classes are 3-credit courses. One hour is equivalent to one credit. One semester is 15 weeks long. Therefore, during one semester, one class meets for 48 hours.
The tuition of this exchange program is waived for non-degree exchange students from partner universities. Those wishing to pursue a degree are not covered under this exchange and will generally be required to pay regular tuition fees directly to the host university.

The rent varies according to the type of housing selected. If students chose to live in a boarding house, they can expect to pay $450 to $550 USD per month. If they have a roommate the costs could be lower. |
Generally our international students spend about $700 per month. Those students usually eat and live on campus. However the ultimate cost depends on the individual.
Those admitted to SNU have to apply for either the short-term visa (C-3) or the student visa (D-2). The short-term visa cannot be extended in Korea. You must submit a letter of admission from SNU and a certified sponsorship letter from GSIS to the issuer. You should check with the Korean embassy for all of the details.
