KU IWC cherishes all students’ valuable experience in Korea as they would choose KU IWC instead of spending winter holidays with family in their home countries. We believe that our students are coming to Korea not only because they aspire to obtain academic credits, but also broaden their horizons, learn about Korean culture and meet new friends. Therefore, we certainly highlight our extracurricular activities and field trips for KU IWC students! Plus most of them are complimentary except ski trip and Nanta performance show, so why don’t you join us?
※ The online registration for cultural activities will be open in early December for only those who complete their registration before November 30th.
※ Please note that some sports are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
