Additional Benefit

We are pleased to share that any student who registers for the WISE free Korean language course will receive a 50% tuition fee discount for the 2026 SKKU International Summer Semester (ISS). The SKKU ISS brings together 800+ students worldwide for a four-week summer experience featuring Ivy League–level international instructors and a wide selection of courses across multiple disciplines, all taught in English on our vibrant Seoul campus. For more information on the ISS program, please visit the website: https://summer.skku.edu

We kindly ask for your support in sharing this opportunity with your students, especially those who may be interested in Korean language or Korean studies. We believe this is a free and convenient way for students to learn Korean from home over the winter break. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We appreciate your cooperation and hope that many of your students will join our program.
