Why Should I Apply to Yonsei Underwood International College?
All English Classes
Since UIC is an international college, every class is taught in English. This is a great advantage for international students whose primary language of instruction is English because the majority of Korean students were not taught in English. As an international student, you can focus on the subject itself while Korean students need to learn both English and also focus on the subject.
Since all the classes are taught in English, you are not pressured to learn Korean quickly. You can gradually pick up Korean if you want since you are not forced to learn it in order to understand your professors.
High Rankings
Yonsei University ranks high in global rankings which indicates its academic excellence. It is ranked #1 Korean University in Reputation (Korea Joongang Daily’s University Rankings), #1 Korean Private University (QS World University Rankings), #5 Asian Cancer Research Innovators (Reuters Rankings).
Research
UIC places much emphasis on undergraduate research. It encourages students to do research through many programs such as the Design Factory Korea, UIC Research Project, and Global Research Competition.
Design Factory Korea
Design Factory is a program run by universities and research organizations from 13 countries. The Design Factory Korea incorporates the knowledge that students have learned in the classrooms and help corporations to design new business models and services.
Both the corporations and students benefit from the Design Factory Korea. Many corporations benefited from this program because the students in UIC provided them with fresh ideas. Likewise, students are able to gain invaluable experience by working with corporations and developing their creativity and innovative skills.
Students can, not only cooperate with the companies, but they can design and develop creative services and products through Product Development Project. Under the guidance of a professor, students will create services and products by observing, conceptualizing, prototyping, and evaluating.
The Design Factory Korea is a great resource for engineering, industrial design, and business majors. For more information, visit Design Factory page.
