During the last ten years, Korea has become one of the most popular destinations for international students studying in Asia. It is attractive, trendy, and has a lot for a newcomer to indulge in and explore. We see a “Korea Wave”, a global phenomenon, with the increasing popularity of K-pop, Korean-dramas, and Korean fashion. Apart from the pop culture influence, Korea is the leading force in the digital technology industry, being one of the most innovative countries with a highly Internet-connected society.
For a food lover, great Korean food is not restricted to the high-end restaurants but can also be easily found from its vibrant street vendors. Food in Korea is not only price friendly, but also healthy and rich in taste. In Korea, traditional Confucianism from ancient China meets the influence of American and Japanese modern culture.
To study in Korea, international students can choose from the following options:
Korean language is essential for culture integration. Without knowing Korean language daily life in the local society is difficult and inconvenient. Knowing Korean at Topik 3 level or higher is often a prerequisite for degree programs in Korea since even degree programs taught in English often include some classes taught in Korean
Therefore most international students start their studies in Korea with language learning at the Korean Language Institute (KLI) of one of Korea’s many universities. There are also a few private Korean language schools, but unlike the university KLI’s private language schools cannot sponsor a student visa. So if you want to study in Korea for three months or longer the universities are your best bet.
Korean language programs in universities consist of 4 quarters a year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), with 10 weeks each quarter. You usually have language classes 4 hours per day (either in the morning or afternoon), five days a week. We will talk about Korean language levels and how to reach those levels later in this article.

The wide range of annual tuition for undergraduates is 4,000-20,000 USD, depending on universities and programs, with an average of 11,000 USD. Scholarships are available majorly offered by universities and also from government entities. The chance to get one that covers a part of the tuition fee is rather good, but you will need some money of your own to pay for the remainder of the tuition fee and to prove that you have the funding needed to get a student visa to Korea.
Language programs are more affordable, with a cost of 1,300-1,600 USD per 10 week semester.
Relatively low living costs for food, transportation and accommodation makes studying in Korea feasible and practical. School canteens provide cheap and good quality meals at a couple of dollars. Groceries in supermarkets are not only full of options but also have very good prices. A monthly cost of 300 USD on food is reasonable if you are not too careless with your budget. Big cities like Seoul and Busan have good public transportation networks, efficient, cheap and environmentally friendly. Public transportation is cheap, if you stay in the city where you study you will get by on a couple of dollars per day. Internet and mobile service is of high speed and low rate. International Students Medical Insurance is mandatory, see our recommendations below.
