Yonsei University
Yonsei University celebrates its 126th anniversary in 2011, a critical landmark for higher education in Korea. As the oldest and one of the most prestigious universities in Korea, it has stood in the forefront of higher education and internationalization since its modest beginnings in 1885.
Yonsei maintains the most extensive international network in Korea with 615 partner institutions in 59 countries and educates the largest number of international students among Korean universities, with nearly 5,000 students.
Continuing its pioneering tradition of international education, Yonsei University was the first to establish the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) in 1987 and the Underwood International College (UIC) in 2005. GSIS offers English- based postgraduate degree programs in international studies and Korean studies.
UIC graduated its first class in March 2010 and it has become Korea’s premier honors college in Korea. All courses at GSIS and UIC are taught in English by distinguished international and Korean faculty.
Welcome to Yonsei University.
Since its establishment in 1885, Yonsei University has been
at the forefront of higher education.

The Yonsei International Summer School (YISS) opened its doors in 1985 and since then, YISS has become an integral part of campus life based on a unique blend of Korean and global cultures. YISS continues to grow and evolve, accommodating the needs of a rapidly changing student body and meeting the challenges of a fast-paced global society.
The 2011 program has been revamped in order to highlight growing interest in the arts, culture, and humanities while also offering cutting-edge classes in management and economics, global issues, history and social sciences, and science and technology. We’ve added a new cluster – The Korean Wave: Hallyu – both for returning students of Korean descent and for equally savvy cultural entrepreneurs.
This summer, we invite you to experience the legendary
“Yonsei Spirit” and to join us for an unforgettable summer in the heart of Seoul. You will make life-long friends, build new networks, expand and deepen your academic and cultural horizons, and experience life in one of Asia’s coolest, yet largely undiscovered metropolis of 10 million. Make Yonsei your summer home in 2011 and have the best summer of your undergraduate journey.
