Eligibility and selection

Exchange student system

The exchange student system is not a study abroad one. Through this system a student at Suwon University will go to a foreign university that has a sisterhood relationship with Suwon University for one semester or one year and earn credits. In other words, this system is basically the same as the domestic credit exchange system in which students at Suwon University go to other universities in Korea and earn credits.
The only difference is that the place is foreign. All things other than going abroad are the same as in university life in Korea.

Exchange student selection requirements

Above all, the exchange student is the representative of Suwon University. Therefore, we are selecting students who can be a model for the school in every way. The qualifications of the representative are as follows.

① more than grade 2.5

Selection period

Selection is made every semester. Once the selection guidelines are finalized, it will be announced on the notice page of the Suwon University website (www.suwon.ac.kr). In the first semester, selection is scheduled approximately from the end of April to the beginning of May, and in the second semester, from the end of October to the beginning of November. Students must prepare the above qualifications before the above selection period come. In some cases, you will need to prepare beforehand scores of the TOEFL, IELTS or TOEIC in case of being required scores in English from the overseas university. The dispatch will be adjusted to the schedule of the overseas university. For example, if your desired overseas university starts in April, you will leave at the end of March.
