Study in South Korea

Choose a programme

University-affiliated language institutes and degree programmes are distinct routes. Verify progression requirements. For an English-taught course, check the admitting department’s own English requirements.

Prepare documents and language evidence

Review transcripts, qualifications, language evidence and financial documents required by each school. If TOPIK is required, schedule study and examinations around the application deadline.

Compare costs and housing

Budget in KRW for tuition, initial fees and living costs. Compare dormitories with private accommodation, and check scholarship renewal terms and housing deadlines before deciding.
