Life in Seoul
As a global hub that seamlessly blends 14th-century palaces with 5G-integrated cityscapes, Seoul provides the ultimate laboratory for academic and personal growth.
120 hours of Korean at Ewha Womans University.
The academic core of the program is a high-intensity language curriculum that compresses two full university semesters into six weeks.
- University Partnership — Scholars complete 120 hours of Korean instruction — the equivalent of two full years of high school instruction — over a six-week term at Ewha Womans University.
- Rigour and Attendance — To maintain the integrity of the university partnership, we adhere to strict attendance policies; in Korean universities, more than five absences typically result in an automatic failing grade.
- Linguistic Trajectory — By the end of the program, even students with no prior background are expected to read, write, and navigate daily social interactions with confidence.
A stable, professional environment built for community and study.
We provide everything you need to focus on Korea — safe accommodation, all meals, and a cohort of peers who become lifelong friends.
Safe, centrally located residence in Yongsan — easy access to Ewha campus and cultural hubs.
All-inclusive fees covering high-speed Wi-Fi, utilities, and laundry facilities.
At least two staff members reside on-site at all times providing round-the-clock support.
Housing encourages peer interaction while respecting private study space, with requested roommate options.
Eating in Korea is a cultural requirement — we make sure every student can participate.
- Three meals daily — all included, introducing students to local staples like bibimbap and seasonal temple cuisine.
- Full dietary support — we specialise in restrictions less common in Korea: Halal, Kosher, Vegan, and specific food allergies all accommodated.
- Korean allergy cards — every student with a restriction receives a custom laminated Korean-language card for safe communication at local restaurants.
- Zero-incident record — we maintain a perfect food safety record by training students to identify ingredients and choose restaurants with reliable allergen protocols.
Every Friday is yours — a bespoke six-week project entirely unique to you.
