Dongguk International Study Program (DISP)

Dongguk University operates the ‘Dongguk International Study Program (DISP)’, a short-term study tour program, in order to meet the visiting demands of faculty-led student groups of overseas partner universities twinned with Dongguk University.

The students can take lectures led by experts in the Buddhist Culture, K-Culture, and Engineering, which are the academic strengths of Dongguk University, and visit related facilities in and out of the school through the DISP program, so that they can enhance their knowledge of these academic fields and the level of understanding of Korean culture. They will also have precious experiences to build friendships with Dongguk University students. The program can be organized for each group’s schedules and requirements from a half day to three days.
