Europe Trade Practice-Class at Incheon National University

From March to June 2023, on Wednesday afternoon, this course organizes presentations or excursions with various representatives of European Companies established in Korea. The purpose is to gather various expatriates to discover the potential of European companies and institutions, their presence here in Korea, and the good and bad of being a European in Korea.

Furthermore, our students are interested to learn what requirements and skills are needed by European companies to get an internship or a job.

Thus during three month, guided by motivated students, different companies and institutions are invited to visit us and briefly introduce themselves, respond to the students questions, and have an enjoyable experience presenting their homeland and their objectives in Asia.

Our students are studying German or French and European Trade or other subjects. English skills are required. Most of them are in the 3rd or 4th academic year. Also our international exchange students can participate in this class.

In order to graduate, each team of students supervising one of the six topics will have to make a presentation and remarks on the website of this class.

Classes on Wednesday, 3.00 – 6.00 pm, time depending on guests or visits. Room 502, College of Humanities, Bldg. 15
