1. [IMPORTANT] MAJOR CHANGES FROM FALL 2024

KOREAN LANGUAGE PROGRAMS

a) Intensive Korean Program

As of Fall 2024, the Intensive Korean Program (200 hours, 10 weeks) will change from being a fee-exempt program to a partially fee-paying program due to additional Korean Language courses becoming available in our undergraduate programs.

The changes are as indicated below:

*FULL program fee will be exempted for students majoring or minoring in any Korea/Korean related degrees. This includes East Asian Studies, Translation (Korean) etc.

**PARTIAL program fee will be charged for applicants whose major is of a different field from mentioned above. From the total course fee of 1,660,000 KRW, students will be required to pay 800,000 KRW whilst HUFS will offer to cover the rest, 860,000 KRW as scholarship.

All students who wish to take the Intensive Korean course will need to submit a Korean Program Study Plan on the google form which will be provided after the nomination from your university and students submitting basic information at HUFS exchange Portal. 

***The above changes will not apply to students who have applied and joined HUFS prior to the 2024 Fall Semester.

b) Practical Korean Course

In 2024, we will introduce a newly adapted language program in line with the original Survival Korean program. We welcome you to our new program, Practical Korean Program. Practical Korean Program will consist of 30 hours of course time over 6 weeks, and does not come with any course fee. This course aims to help make the Korean language more approachable for students who wish to ease into the language during their stay at HUFS. We have also taken into account the high demands for flexible hours from previous years and have well applied this into the course schedule. Practical Korean Program is a new program open to prospective exchange students in 2024. Students may apply for this program regardless of their major (including Korean majors).

2.  DORMITORY PLACEMENTS

Please note that due to limited spacing on our on/off campus dormitories, not every student will be guaranteed a spot at the time of application. Our on/off campus dorms can suit approximately 150 exchange students each semester (We usually have 400~450 exchange students per semester).
Dormitory assignment will be given on a first come first serve basis when students apply for it through the online application on the HUFS portal website. Students will be considered for dormitory placement based on their answer via this online application and NOT the separate Google Forms Survey. Please keep in mind that selecting the dormitory option on the Google Forms Survey (link attached on the online application form) will not guarantee students a spot for dormitory. 
We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause for students. Our office will do our best to cater to students who apply for dorms.

For students who need a guideline on finding accommodation, here is a list of alternative housing near campus.
