<p class="MsoPlainText">The Inter-University Center for Korean Language Studies at SKKU (hereafter the IUC or Center) has been established as an advanced Korean language training institution for academic researchers, graduate students, and prospective researchers
in Korean Studies as well as related professionals. The campus for the Center is located within the SKKU humanities and social sciences campus (Seoul), and is jointly operated by SKKU and a consortium of North American, Latin American, European and Australasian
universities. Universities that have either committed to or have expressed strong interest in membership in the consortium include UCLA, UBC, Harvard, Hawaii, USC, Georgetown, Columbia, Michigan, Chicago, the Australian National University, the Autonomous
University of Nuevo Leon and the University of Pennsylvania.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The mission of the Center is to provide intensive high-level Korean language training (including required instruction in sinographs in their Sino-Korean readings and related vocabulary & optional instruction in hanmun for specialists
in pre-modern topics) needed for excellent academic performance in Korean Studies, and to promote the learnersĄŻ ability in presenting research papers, accessing primary sources, and translating between Korean and their own languages. We welcome graduate students,
researchers, and professionals with high proficiency in English, and whose Korean language proficiency is TOPIK level four or higher, or who have completed four years of university level Korean language courses. In order to enhance the effectiveness of instruction,
class sizes will be limited to no more than 8-10 students.<o:p></o:p></p>
