Program Overview

The HUFS Exchange Program offers international students the chance to immerse themselves in Korea’s top-ranked global university while earning credits toward their degree. It promotes cultural diversity and academic excellence, thanks to collaboration with prestigious universities worldwide.

Program eligibility includes completing at least one semester at their home university at the time of participation; a GPA of 2.5 or higher; and proof of English language proficiency for non-native speakers. Students interested in taking Korean-taught courses need to submit proof of language proficiency.
