Study Tour to Seoul National University (SNU) in South Korea

A study tour was conducted from 4-8 August 2025 to Seoul, South Korea. This study tour was implemented in collaboration with our overseas partner institution, Seoul National University (SNU). During their one-week stay, nine students from the International Studies Department were able to experience dormitory life on the SNU campus. The students also attended classes on Korean culture, interacted with SNU students, conducted research activities, and experienced different cultures. This study tour was designed to work in tandem with their classes and assignments at NUCB to help students deepen their cultural understanding.

Classes and cultural exchanges with SNU students

The participating students took classes on Korean culture. Their understanding of South Korea was further deepened through cultural activities such as calligraphy sessions and interviews conducted with SNU students.
