Ulsan International Program
Housing
UIP is an international summer program designed for foreign
students who want to learn Korean culture, history, society,
business as well as Korean language. The program consists of
a broad range of classes and excursions. Participants visit a
wide variety of historical and cultural sites around Ulsan and
other cities in Korea. On top of them, the program includes field
trips to industrial complexes as well.
UOU offers dormitory housing on campus. Participants share a
room with other students. Rooms are shared by 2 or 4 people.
All rooms are air-conditioned. Restrooms and showers are
public, not for private use.
UIP equips students with a broad understanding of other
cultures. It helps participants respect and accept people with
unfamiliar backgrounds. Since participants come from all over
the world, students share a wide range of cultural interests,
backgrounds and traditions.
The main topic of the UIP is 'The Tradition & Industrialization of
Korea'. The geographical location and economical role of Ulsan
give participants an unmatched opportunity to explore Korea’s
rich past and cutting edge present. Ulsan is called “The
Industrial Capital of Korea” due to the vast volume of exports of
world-leading corporations. In 2007, the city accounted for
17.1% of all national exports. Automobile, shipbuilding and
petroleum industries represent the bulk of Ulsan's economy.
Ulsan is also a home of the largest automotive, shipbuilding, and
petroleum refinement factories in the world.
Meals
Breakfast and dinner are provided at the dormitory dining room.
Meal coupons are given for lunch. Participants can buy lunch at
the campus cafeteria. Dormitory meals are Korean. Food may
be spicy to international students. Participants are
recommended to try Korean food such as Kimchi before coming
to Korea. Vegetarians have limited meal selection at the
dormitory dining room.

Korean Culture
During 4 weeks, participants experience many different
aspects of Korea such as sitting on the floor during meals and
sleeping on the floor at night. We recommend that participants
familiarize themselves with Korean culture by surfing the
Internet and making Korean friends at home to better prepare
for life in Ulsan. For those who are less tolerable toward other
culture, the UIP is a splendid experience to broaden their
views. The program includes a one-night stay at a Buddhist
temple, and a four-day visit to Seoul; presidential place, Asan
hospital of the UOU medical school (arguably the largest in the
world) and observatory tower for North Korean border.

The ancient and historic city of Kyung-ju is only a 30 minute
drive from Ulsan. Kyung-ju was the capital of the Silla Dynasty
from 57 BC to 935 AD. Many cultural heritages including royal
tombs and temples have been well-preserved.
Come to Ulsan where the past and the present intertwine to
form the unique culture, that is Korea.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience is waiting for future global
leaders.
