Why Korea?

South Korea has invested heavily in attracting international students, and the results show: substantial tuition reductions for international applicants, government scholarship programmes, and a technology sector that actively recruits graduates. Combined with reasonable living costs and excellent infrastructure, Korea is now one of Asia's strongest study destinations.

Substantial tuition scholarships

Most Korean universities offer international students tuition reductions from thirty percent up to full waivers based on academic merit.

Global Korea Scholarship

The government GKS programme funds tuition, airfare, a monthly allowance and one year of Korean language training.

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 free or 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 bank balance is required?

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.
