About Program
IES Abroad partners with Yonsei University, a prestigious private research university in Seoul and a trusted partner of IES Abroad’s Study Abroad Foundation (SAF), to offer the Seoul Direct Enrollment - Yonsei University Program for Fall, Spring, and Academic Year terms.
Seoul is a dynamic metropolis where ancient history and modern life converge. And you might have heard that Seoul has been ranked the third “best student city” according to the QS World University Rankings® 2022! Winning factors include a “24/7” culture thanks to night markets, late-night tea houses, and 115 museums; nine major subway (plus bus) lines so everything feels convenient and a population of nearly 10 million people to enjoy all that it has to offer.
So picture it: you’re walking across campus at Yonsei University listening to your favorite K-Pop songs, hoppang (steamed bun) from a pojangmacha (street cart) in hand, ready to take on the day in bustling Seoul.
