The International Summer Campus (ISC) Programme is conducted during the special term of June to August. Each ISC course condenses a full semester into 6 weeks. ISC provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn about South Korea through academic and cultural immersion. At the same time, selected students will be given an opportunity to intern at Chaebols or reputable Korean companies. The overseas working experience lets students earn resume credentials and build up their CVs.
Due to the highly competitive nature of the program, not all applicants will be guaranteed an internship position. This option is not compulsory for the ISC Programme.
More information on Internship is available at : http://isc.korea.ac.kr/v4/src/program/internship.php
Internship Date (optional) : 2 June to 27 June 2009
The main component of the programme begins in late June which condenses a full-semester load of coursework into 6 weeks. No prior knowledge of Korean is necessary for enrolment as the medium of instruction for all courses is English (except for Korean language classes).
