[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Ewha Womans University announced on the 13th that it will officially implement a team system in the 'Challenge Semester System' starting from the second semester.

The Challenge Semester System is an experiential semester system where students design activities aligned with their dreams for one semester and receive academic credits upon completion. It was the first of its kind introduced in Korea, and in May, the 11th batch of students was selected through a Challenge Semester contest. From the second semester, the existing system has been restructured to allow applications in teams of 3 to 5 members. The scope of challenge tasks has also been expanded to include meaningful solutions to local community issues and activities for entrepreneurship.

Students selected through the contest will receive tailored close guidance from Challenge Semester advisors and consulting from expert groups in related fields starting this second semester. Depending on the scale, students can earn between 3 to 9 academic credits. If necessary, they can also receive financial support of up to 4 million KRW.
