The Business School had an information session for 2018 Summer Global Internship on March 28 (Wed) 6pm at Room B307, Hyundai Motor Hall. Around 40 students attended the information session for detailed information on how to apply, eligibility, and selection procedure. From 1994 onwards KUBS commenced its very first global internship program in South Korea. At least 50 students every year participate in internship abroad at corporations in 15 countries. Up until 2017, KUBS had a total of 1,940 participants sent to 500 corporations for their global experience.
With regard to the eligibility, any business students in their 3rd or higher year can apply, as long as they have at least one semester left at the University. The priority goes to students whose first major is Business Administration, other students at the Business School come next (i.e. Business double major, dual degree, or business minor students). Depending on companies, students’ participation will be accredited to 3 to 6 credits of their degree requirements. The tuition fee is returned once they completed the duration of internship. In addition, flight fare is fully provided by the School (applicable to business first major students only), and participants may be eligible for other financial supports during their stay abroad.
Participants will be selected by △ GPA for last two semesters △ official language test score (not compulsory) △ English/Chinese Interview △ Interview in Korean △ Extra points for students who completed “Regional Studies” of the country they are applying to △ Extra points for extracurricular activities or work experience. If applying for internships in China only, English test score and English Interview will not be necessary. Ms. Arie Kim from KUBS International Office explained, “for those interested, please apply online and submit required documents to the International Office by 4pm, April 13. You can download relevant documents and formats from Portal Community ‘2018 KUBS Global Internship’”.
The shortlisted applicants will be required to attend pre-departure ceremony and a brief preparation session, which is held between May and June. If shortlisted applicants withdraw their internship application after the release of the outcome, a F grade will be given. In case applicants withdraw their application before the outcome is out, they may be at a disadvantage for further applications. After completing their internship, participants must submit daily work journal, report and an essay on their intern experience to the International Office for credit approval.

On the followed Q&A session, students raised a range of questions on corporations’ job descriptions, required English/Chinese fluency, and so on. Ms. Arie Kim responded, “details of what your intern job entails will vary according to offices, and they may even change once you have recruited”. Ms. Kim added “Please refer to the list of available companies you can apply to, which will be uploaded from April 3. The reason we consider your language proficiency is really for your basic safety and everyday use during your stay overseas. As long as you are comfortable using business level English/Chinese, you are good to go”.
