* The four semesters at Keio University must be complete, which should include the semester(s) in which students are dispatched from Yonsei University. (Once you acquire the diploma of Yonsei GSIS, it is impossible to achieve that of Keio University at the same time. The other one/two semester(s) at Keio after the dispatched semester(s) should be enrolled in Keio University directly.) Due to the various cases depending on which semester a student is dispatched, we strongly encourage you to run this by Yonsei GSIS Office.
