Technology and engineering strength

Korea leads globally in semiconductors, electronics, robotics, shipbuilding and automotive engineering.

Part-time work allowed

Students may work part time after the first semester with permission, with hours depending on your level of study and Korean proficiency.

English-taught programmes

A growing number of degree programmes are delivered entirely in English, particularly at graduate level.

Excellent infrastructure

World-leading public transport, internet and healthcare, with safe cities and modern campus facilities.

Questions

Studying in South Korea: common questions

Can I study in Korea without knowing Korean?

Yes, for English-taught programmes. However learning Korean substantially improves your part-time work options, your daily life and your employability after graduation. Most universities include subsidised Korean classes.

What is TOPIK?

The Test of Proficiency in Korean. Level 3 or above is generally needed for Korean-taught degrees and increases both your scholarship prospects and your permitted part-time work hours.

How much money do I need to show for a Korean student visa?

Requirements vary by university and visa category, typically between US$ 10,000 and US$ 20,000 held in the student's or sponsor's account. We confirm the exact figure for your target university.

Is dormitory accommodation guaranteed?

Most Korean universities give international students priority for on-campus dormitories in the first year, which keeps living costs low and simplifies your arrival.
