The IUC is an advanced Korean language training institution for academic researchers, graduate students, and prospective researchers in Korean Studies as well as related professionals.  It is jointly operated by SKKU and the executive committee of the Inter-University Consortium, currently co-chaired by faculty from UCLA and the University of British Columbia. 
The IUC academic year program focuses on building basic academic vocabulary, developing presentation skills, and enhancing writing abilities. A separate intensive six-week program is offered during the summer months. The summer session is designed for three types of students: students needing to upgrade their skills before starting the fall semester; students seeking to build on what they have learned during the preceding spring semester; and students seeking to refresh their academic Korean.
