International exchange programs

  • 3-3-3-3 Strategy

HUFS is implementing the '3-3-3-3 strategy' to cultivate future leaders of the global era. Specifically, HUFS intends to increase the proportion of international faculty, lectures in foreign langurages, international students, and Korean students studying abroad for at least one semester to over 30 percent. In this way, HUFS is nurturing talented students with international acumen and practical capabilities.
Students study at an overseas university for at least one out of the eight semesters of their undergraduate years to gain a more international focus. HUFS provides support under the following three categories: 7+1 free-competition dispatch students(British-American zone), 7+1 dispath students selected by departments and 7+1 dispatch studendts with superior entrance exam scores.
Under the dual degree program, students receive a degree from HUFS and another degree from the University of Delaware, pursuant to an agreement between the two universities.
  • Student Exchange Program

Under the student exchange program, HUFS and a sister university overseas sign an agreement allowing for students from either institution to complete and receive academic credit for coursework taken on each other's campuses.
Language studies at an overseas four-year university can earn students up to nine credits at HUFS. The program allows students to strengthen their language capabilities as well as become more internationally minded.
The Self-financed Study Abroad Program is a plan in which HUFS students may study in overseas universities and get the credits exchanged into the HUFS system. Since you can choose any university (4-year colleges only) that your dean approves, you have more options compared to those on the Exchange or Visiting Student Program.
