A terminal and a method of providing a user interface using a pen are provided. The terminal includes a pen attachment/detachment perception switch configured to detect attachment and detachment of a pen; a touch screen panel configured to detect a state of the pen; and a controller configured to activate a terminal screen when a signal corresponding to the detachment of the pen from the pen attachment/detachment perception switch has been received, and to display a menu item list, including one or more applications, on the terminal screen when a hovering event by the pen has been detected by the touch screen panel.
