Description : Yeungnam University (YU) is UNO’s University Partnership in South Korea. YU is located in Gyeongsan, neighboring the metropolitan city of Daegu and just two hours by train from South Korea’s capital, Seoul. YU offers a large number of courses in English, beginning Korean language classes, a thriving international student population, and is one of the most affordable exchange programs. UNO students have the opportunity to be an English conversation tutor for 4 hours per week in the Language Partner Program at YU, and receive a monthly stipend for their time. This is a wonderful way for students to help cover their expenses while in Korea and to meet local students. Internships are another hands on experience YU can support, and they are able to help qualified exchange students obtain a local internship. As of the 2020/2021 academic year, 41 UNO students have studied at YU and 27 YU students have studied at UNO. YU students have also come to UNO for short-term intensive English programs at ILUNO as part of this partnership.
