Program Highlights
Cosmopolitan
During the International Summer Session at HUFS, which has been nationally ranked as the most cosmopolitan campus in Korea, students have many opportunities to interact with foreign students from various countries as well as local Korean students. The ISS at HUFS is the only program of its kind in Korea which integrates both domestic Korean students and students from overseas in the same classes.
World-class faculty
The ISS invites many world-renowned scholars in Korean Studies to teach at the summer session. Together with the participating HUFS faculty, these invited professors from prestigious foreign universities make the ISS educational experience truly competitive in the age of globalization.
Field Activities: Hands-on introduction to Korean society and culture

Students can gain insight into Korean history, cultural practices, and the operations of some of the world's leading corporations which have led Korea's advancement into cutting-edge technology. Students will choose from among an array of field trips, company visits, cultural workshops and special lectures.

A program of "Extended Field Activities" is also organized. These include an overnight stay in locales beyond the immediate area of Seoul which contain sites of exceptional social, historical and cultural significance. Students may choose among the various options offered in the Field Activities program.

ISS Buddy program
By providing an opportunity to build friendships through informal interactions outside the classroom, the ISS Buddy Program, which matches local students and ISS international students, benefits both the domestic students and the international students. Language exchange can be an added benefit of this program.
Personalized education in small-size classes
Class size does not usually exceed 12 students, which allows a personalized education that meets students' individual needs.
Housing
Through the university-arranged paying guest (hasuk) program, students have an opportunity to experience the everyday lifestyles of ordinary Koreans. Dormitory-style accommodation is also available.
Scholarships
Full or partial tuition waivers for international students from HUFS partner institutions, merit-based scholarships for academic excellence, partial tuition waivers for overseas Korean adoptees, and alumni scholarships for sons and daughters of HUFS alumni are awarded.
