23.03.2021 UT KCC 10th Webinar 《Exchange Students' Days : ESTONIA to KOREA EP.2》

at 15:00

Are you uneasy about what it would be like to study in Korea? Then you are very welcome to the UT KCC 10th Webinar, a series of discovering exchange student programs to Korea following last semester. To ponder your new challenges together, UT KCC invites three student speakers who have been currently on a Korea-Estonia exchange program at Pusan National University (PNU) in South Korea for two consecutive semesters, as well as another speaker on post-exchange days.

This webinar would be on your journey to Korea by connecting you with the colorful hands-on experiences of the students, entering and leaving Korea, dormitory and school life, club activities, making new friends and hidden spots for your extraordinary traveling in Korea. Another benefit, since the four speakers in the webinar cover all undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs, it will help you gratify your own questions raised from any courses you are attending.
