Report Exchange Semester EWHA Womans University

Niklas B.

Last year I attended the Ewha Womans University in Seoul. Although this university is dedicated to female students, male exchange students are allowed. In August I boarded a plane of Qatar Airways and began my four-month journey. At Incheon Airport employees of the University welcomed me and I took the provided bus to the Uni.

Preparation

The application process is easy and not very time consuming. You have to prepare a statement pf purpose (1000 characters) and get several documents like a copy of your passport, a health certificate and a tuberculosis test which can be done at the local health authority of Essen. I highly recommend to prepare this documents as early as possible, because the spots of the dormitory are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

In the heart of Seoul

AWESOME!!! :-D

Asia, Korea, Seoul, Ewha Womans University and the EWHA School of Business are awesome: This semester offered me so many new experiences and adventures; It was a blast. You get to know a completely different culture and people from all over the world who are also doing an exchange semester in Seoul. The university itself lies in   one of the student quarters – in suitable manner called EWHA – and therefore in the heart of Seoul. EWHA, as  one of the best locations for female students, offers a lot of interesting courses, a broad range of non-university activities and international established professors. Seoul is one of a kind and I can hardly compare it to other   metropolitan areas I’ve been to so far. I can only recommend to take this step and study abroad in Korea.
