SOUTH KOREA

Study at university in South Korea

Semester stay for current full-time 1.-4. year students is possible at this university:

Hankuk University of Foreign Studies

The choice of stay in a given academic year depends on the state of exchanges between Comenius University and the chosen university. There are discussions with foreign partner universities every year ad hoc (since Comenius University traditionally accepts fewer student than it sends out).

ELIGIBILITY

Offer is available to 2.-5. year students at all Comenius University faculties. One requirement is proficiency in English or Korean. The selection of English courses might be limited. Before applying make sure that the University offers courses for your faculty.

EXPENSES

Study fees are not paid by Comenius University students.

Travel expenses, health insurance, textbooks and study materials, personal expenses and accommodation expenses are all paid by the students themselves. One semester will cost the student several thousands of Euros. There are no additional scholarships that are available to fund this exchange – since this is not part of the Erasmus+ exchange programme.

The International Relations Office will contribute to the travel expenses and successful applicants will be informed of all details.

Offer is open until 17.4.2025

APPLICATIONS

Applications can be submitted as applying for the IRO offer at the international offices of the universities’ faculties, which conduct the first selection round. IRO specifies particular universities and the number of accepted students the following academic year. The second selection round will be at the Comenius University Rectorate.

Requirements for applying:

• Study application for (one) chosen university, in Slovak
• Transcript of Record, in English
• CV in English, in which the applicant must include any previous participation in foreign exchanges related to their study
• Short Motivational letter, in English
• Letter of recommendation, in English, from the head of their department or their teacher

ACCEPTANCE

Successful applicants will be sent an acceptance letter from the foreign school, with which the applicant can obtain a visa. The student will take care of and pay for the visa themselves.

STUDY OBLIGATIONS

Study requisites, i.e. the agreement with the student’s faculty about recognizing a part or the whole study at the foreign university, are fully the obligation of the student and the faculty which they study at.

REPORT OF STAY

After returning from the study exchange, the student is required to submit a report of stay to the International Relations Office within 30 days, in which the student will also evaluate the social aspects of their stay.
