Exchange programs Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul
Within the framework of an exchange agreement with Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, Korea, 2 places are available for students from Heidelberg.
The language of instruction is usually Korean. English-language courses are also offered in some degree programs. Exchange students have the opportunity to take Korean language courses (up to 20 hours per week). The courses are open to students from all departments. Subject study in the same field of study as at Heidelberg University depends on the courses offered at the partner university and is therefore not guaranteed.
Students of medicine please note:
Unfortunately, the exchange agreements with the partner universities do not refer to the medical faculties. This means that you would be forced to attend courses offered by other faculties. Should this in principle not be a problem for you, we look forward to receiving your applications.
