Introduction

Inha University cordially invites international students to our International Summer School Program. We look forward to receiving again a large number of students from many different countries around the world, who will constitute a multicultural student body in our campus.

Thanks to the huge success of the last year's program, we have decided to expand the summer school this year by offering more courses including the Korean language & culture, intercultural communication, Korean politics and society and so on. All of these courses are complemented by extensive culture and leisure time programs and will provide plenty of possibilities to discover Korea and to gain first-hand experience of Korea's rich cultural life.

Participants of our summer courses will also benefit from the historical and cultural opportunities of Incheon as a truly unique Asian metropolis, a place of dynamic change. Again, we invite you to come and explore Korea and to study at Inha University. We look forward to welcoming you this summer!

Inha University annually offers a summer school program as a part of its goal to enhanced global education. The summer program was first initiated in 2004 to provide overseas college students with hands-on opportunities to learn the Korean language and experience the cultural and academic life in Korea. Since then, the program has continued to develop and has been enriched with more unique and diverse activities, while attracting more participants every year.

This short-term, intensive program mainly consists of classroom lectures, visits to corporate sites and field trips to cultural and historic places. Through the coursework, international students will have opportunities to better understand the dynamic aspects of Korean society in the past, present and future.

One of the most important and engaging aspects of this program is that the learning is not limited to the classroom. Many field trip locations are themselves “living textbooks” for international students, who are eager to gain real world experiences on traditional and modern Korean culture. In addition, students will have many opportunities to meet and interact with Korean students during the program and they will also be able to share their experiences and views with each other through presentations during their classes. At the end of the program, participants will receive academic credits and certificates of completion.

Inha University is one of the most prestigious universities in Korea, and has been continually ranked as a top 10 college nationwide. Since its foundation as an engineering institute in 1954, the University has sustained a strong tradition of academic integrity and gained a reputation for excellent educational programs and research in the fields of science and technology, and across a broader academic spectrum including IT, social sciences, business, global logistics, education, law, fine arts, humanities and medicine. Motivated by the strong support and investment from the Hanjin Group,Inha University continues to develop and enhance its education programs, practical research projects and globalization efforts. Inha's vision continues with its grand project of building a global campus in New Songdo City, a newly emerging international business and R&D hub city in Northeast Asia.
