  • Have a minimum 2.5 GPA

Please note that no course is guaranteed and they can be highly competitive. It is recommended that students applying to Yonsei University - UIC are flexible with their chosen units.

Courses available for exchange students

The course list for each term is not finalised until 1.5 months before each term begins so please refer to past UIC course lists for reference.
