EXCHANGE REPORT – FALL 2016 Student ID 381622 EXCHANGE REPORT – FALL 2016 Student ID 381622 Seoul National University at a Glance SNU is the top ranked university in South Korea. There are annually about 600 exchange students from all over the world. The main campus is located close to Gwanaksan mountain in the south part of Seoul. SNU is one of the three partner universities in South Korea for the Aalto students offering both undergraduate and graduate exchange. The home department for the exchange students will be the College of Business Administration (=CBA) which host about 80 – 150 exchange students in every semester. In this report, I will introduce you the SNU studies and preparations for the exchange but also my own experiences about living in Seoul during the fall semester 2016. 1. PREPARING FOR THE EXCHANGE After receiving information from home university that they have nominated you to Seoul National University you will soon receive an email from SNU Office of Int'l Relations or CBA’s coordinator. I received it this year March 22nd and it included the information how to proceed with application process. About SNU application process This process included handling many documents and application process will be finished by post- mailing documents to Korea. There is approximately one month time to finish online application and send documents (before end on April if your exchange semester is fall). To complete the first phase, online application, prepare the following documents and upload them (excluding recommendation letters) on online application page. All the instructions, links and forms are provided with the first email from SNU. The CBA Exchange Coordinator from SNU, Ms. Michelle Choi was very helpful if you have any questions regarding the process. 1. SNU Application form – Apply online and print it out after finishing as a hard copy. You need other documents to be attached to online application: A Statement of Purpose, Official University Transcript, A Certificate of Enrollment from the current university you are attending and a copy of applicant's passport. 2. A Statement of Purpose 3. An original copy of official university transcript 4. A Certificate of Enrollment from the current university you are attending 5. A copy of passport 6. Two photographs – I would recommend that you take passport photos enough because you will need those for other applications e.g. visa, ARC, student card. 7. Two letters of recommendation - You receive a form from SNU within email so use that specific form not any informal. I recommend to ask your Bachelor thesis instructor or Professors you know from previous courses. You don’t need to upload these recommendation letters to online application, only post-mailed. The second phase, after completion of the online application you post-mail the above mentioned documents with two recommendation letters to SNU. The final decision of acceptance from SNU takes about 1-2 months. The results should be informed to you by email and final admission packet sent to your home institution in the middle of June. If you don’t receive papers begin of July, you should ask about papers because I didn’t get those in the first place. About VISA application Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Finland has a website where you will find the latest information about Student Visa process and needed documents. First, I applied Visa online with the online form but you need to visit Embassy afterwards or send papers by post. The Visa process took me about one week when I visited personally at the Embassy but apply it as soon you have collected needed papers and know the departure date. Vaccinations and other arrangements Finnish Student Health Service (YTHS) will help you with your vaccination plan and I got also vaccinations certificate from YTHS. Students need to arrange their own travel insurance when staying abroad. All the exchange students should also submit a travel notification to Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland (www.matkustusilmoitus.fi) just in case. Traveling to the Host University/ Reception at School The easiest way to get Seoul is a direct flight using Finnair. If you are looking for the cheapest options, choose the round-trip ticket which costs about 500-800 euros. Check the Finnair youth tickets before reservation if you are under 26 years old and buying one way flight. Normally the fall semester and classes starts always begin of September (this year September 1st) but orientation week is before it. I recommend to join the orientation week because it is the most informative for your studies and surviving in Seoul but also the best place to meet people! During the orientation week, there are many orientation classes, dinners, events and tourist sightseeing arranged for exchange students. CBA Orientation day and dinner was August 26th and Office of International Affairs held their own orientation August 30th. The content of orientation classes is very practical. For example, you will get guidebook and information about course modification, ARC and student card process and a bank account opening. Student ID card This card is needed for access to library and some facilities like study rooms at campus. With card you also get cheaper prices for meals at school’s cafeterias. You need the application form and passport photo (also emailed photo is approved). The card process takes normally about 1hr at the campus after application is submitted. Alien Registration Card All foreign students who stay more than 90 days in South Korea should apply this. It is important to apply this as soon as possible because leaving and returning to country is not possible without it or otherwise your visa will be expired. The application time must be booked online before visiting the Immigration Office (Omokgyo). Take passport, passport and visa copy, passport photo, Certificate of Enrollment (print out from MySNU portal), Application form and service charge. There is photo booth and printing service at the office if needed. The service charge will be paid to ATM next to photo booth before appointment and you show the receipt to officer. The card will be issued normally within 2-3 weeks after submitting application. Anyhow, getting appointment takes also about 2 weeks because all the other exchange students are booking appointment in the begin of September. Tip for students, who has applied card but not received it yet and travelling outside the country: With the approved application from Immigration Office you can apply the ”Certificate of Alien Registration” from the Gwanak-gu Office located close to SNU station. The Certificate proves that you have Alien number issue under process and costs about 2’000 KRW. It allows you to travel outside country before getting official card. Just remember take it with you to airport because Custom will check it. DISCLAIMER: check if this fact is still valid from Immigration Office when you submit the application! 2. EXCHANGE STUDIES The fall semester of SNU starts begin of September (1st of September this year) and will be finished middle of the December (14th of December this year). Some students have exams or paper submissions after final date. The grades of the semester will be announced end of December (28th of December) in MySNU portal. During the fall semester there is national holiday, Chuseok, when the classes are canceled. About courses The course registration is stressful and confusing even the system works quite well. Details and instructions will be informed by email and registration period is normally one month before semester. You should try to plan as much as possible your courses and familiarize you to system before the official registrations because after system opens all the seats are full in minutes. The registration time is Korean time so in Finland it is night. Do not panic if you don’t get any of your planned courses because there are many other exchange students in same situation and within a first week of semester (called modification week) you have right to change/ add/ drop courses at portal or ask from Professors if there are available extra seats at courses using “Override forms for international students”. Details about Modification week practices tell you in CBA orientation. Anyhow, if you have planned to travel during your stay try to arrange your course schedule well because Professors don’t allow many absences. The school offers some Korean language studies. Korean Language Program at Language Education Institute (LEI) is the most common and you must apply for that before semester starts. I didn’t take that one because it is very intensive 15-week Program arranged three times per week and there is tuition fee (about 950 € and SNU pays about 40% reimbursement). The course is helpful for those who wants to learn the language. Other chance to study basics of Korea is for example free course “Elementary Korean 032.001” (2 ECTS) from College of Humanities. I am a Master student so I had to take total 12 SNU credits for the semester. I found it challenging to find courses which are taught by English and the workload would not be too high. I think it might be easier for undergraduate because then there are more CBA course selection. Most of Graduate courses are easier to find in Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) because they are offered in English. 1. Global Business strategy 8751.519A, Prof. Hwy-Chang Moon (GSIS), 3 ECTS The workload: attendance 20%, weekly summaries 20%, group cases and presentations twice 20%, group project 20% and final exam 20% This graduate course introduced theories and strategies to understand better globalization and global strategies using many examples from Asia. The course book is written by the Professor Moon himself and I got it from the library.
