All master’s students can participate in the exchange programs. However, international students who are the recipients of the designated scholarship program (which entails receiving a monthly stipend in Korea) are NOT ELIGIBLE to apply for the exchange program, as these students are already pursuing their studies abroad in Korea.
Credits earned from the exchange program can be transferred to KDI School after consultation with the Office of Academic Affairs Division. Students participating in the exchange program will pay tuition only to KDI School, not to the host institution.
