Exchange Program : Woosong University

Current Students

Exchange Program

Qualified students have the chance to participate in an exchange program for one or two semesters at one of our partner universities overseas and have the credits earned transferred back to Woosong. Students must fulfill the criteria set by both Woosong and the host university to make their outbound experience as memorable and enjoyable as possible.

Students who go on exchange pay tuition to Woosong. They are not required to pay tuition or enrollment fees to the host university. However, they do pay other expenses such as residence, activity fees, medical insurance, to the host university. In some instances, the agreement between Woosong and the host university may require students to pay tuition (and other costs) to the host university in which case they are treated as Study Abroad students. Students are advised to consult with the Study Abroad Office about the payment terms before selecting a host university.

Requirements

In order to apply for the outbound exchange program, students must meet the following Woosong criteria before the start of their semester at the host university:

Minimum Credits Earned or Semesters Completed
Undergraduate	Completion of 2 regular semesters

Students should also ensure that they meet the host university’s application requirements (please visit the host university website for details) and meet all the important deadlines set by the host university.
