What are the procedures for studying in Korea? What are the types of studying in Korea?

Studying in Korea is very popular now, but there are still many students who are not sure how to apply. Let's analyze the application process of studying in Korea and so on, and look at these contents.

I. Application process

1. Learn about studying in Korea and set goals.

No matter high school students, three students, junior college students, undergraduates and graduate students, they can apply for studying in Korea at the corresponding stage. Self-taught college or self-taught undergraduate (that is, part-time) can also apply for studying in Korea. (You must have a degree certificate to apply for the self-taught undergraduate course. )

2. Make a reasonable study abroad plan.

Before studying in Korea, you also need to make an objective evaluation according to your own situation. It is recommended to start preparing at least one year before studying abroad.

When planning, draft a time schedule and a list of preparation items, and prepare according to the corresponding time nodes. The preparatory work includes: funding for studying abroad, taking relevant exams, and planning the academic content at this stage in a targeted manner to enhance self-comprehensive competitiveness.

If you have the conditions, you can get first-hand information about Korean universities and majors, or get professional advice, which will improve the chances of successful application.

Step 3 take a language test

Students applying to study in Korea must take the TOPIK exam. Chinese mainland has two exams every year, April and June, 5438+00, and South Korea has six exams every year. Students who go to the Language Institute first can go to Korea to take the TOPIK exam.

South Korea does not recognize CET-4 and CET-6 scores. For students who want to apply for top universities or English teaching programs, it is suggested that they must prepare their English scores (IELTS and TOEFL). Except GSIS, most majors don't explicitly require to submit English scores, but submitting English scores will greatly enhance your competitiveness and thus increase your chances of admission.

4. Prepare application materials

The application materials of each school are not exactly the same, and the application materials must be submitted in full accordance with the requirements of the school.

The required materials include: transcripts and academic certificates (attendance certificate or diploma, degree certificate), language transcripts, letters of recommendation, self-introduction, study plan, proof of funds, etc. You may also need to provide a portfolio to apply for an art major.

Some schools and majors also need interviews or telephone interviews.

5. Apply for a visa after entering school.

After the school accepts you, it will inform you to pay the tuition fee. After paying the fee, you must first know what kind of visa information the school gives you. There are two kinds of study visas: D-4 and D-2. To apply for a visa in China, you need to provide visa application materials, standard entry permit and tuberculosis health diagnosis.

After the visa is processed, you can prepare your itinerary and be mentally prepared. For many high school students, this is the first time to live independently. You should cultivate your independent living ability in advance, make full preparations, fly to your ideal college and start a new chapter in your life.

Second, the type of study abroad

1. Language Institute. Almost all Korean universities have their own language education colleges, which we usually call language colleges or language schools. At present, you don't have to have a TOPIK score to apply for a language school, but you can apply only after graduating from high school. Non-formal courses are designed for students who are interested in Korean, and there are no entry qualifications such as academic countries. To apply for a language school, you can submit paper materials such as an application form. There will be a placement test after entering the school, and the placement will be based on the Korean level. The placement test of the Language Institute includes oral English, so even if the written test passes a certain level and oral English fails to meet the requirements, it will be placed according to the oral English level.

2. undergraduate course. Basically, Korean universities recruit foreign students. School starts in early March and early September every year. Undergraduate applications are divided into freshmen and transfer classes. Freshmen, as the name implies, apply for admission from the first year of college. The registration conditions are that the candidates and their parents are nationals outside Korea, have graduated from high school (this year) or above, and have TOPIK level 3 or above (depending on the school and major). In the case of changing classes, only students who (will) complete more than two years' courses in four-year regular universities at home and abroad, and (will) obtain excellent results equivalent to the second-year graduation standard (generally 1/2 graduation credits), or (will) graduate from three-year regular universities can apply.

3. Postgraduates and PhDs. Postgraduates and doctoral programs need to submit applications for admission to Korean universities, and students can apply to general universities. In recent years, due to the internationalization education of Korean universities, nine universities including Kyung Hee University, Hanyang University and Central University have opened GSIS (Graduate School of International Studies) courses. The registration process is basically the same as the undergraduate course, and the start time is also in early March and early September of each year. Students and their parents are non-Koreans who apply to ordinary colleges. There is no special requirement for English scores in the Korean Proficiency Test (TOPIK). Among them, Mandarin and Chinese majors generally require Korean level 5 or above, and students who have obtained a bachelor's degree from a regular university or are expected to graduate before applying for admission can apply. In addition to the above requirements, students applying for GSIS must also have English scores, generally requiring IELTS 5.5 and TOEFL 80 or above.

Third, the advantages of studying abroad.

1, the world advanced education level

The educational level of Korean institutions of higher learning is comparable to that of developed countries, and their diplomas contain high gold content. There are many world-renowned institutions of higher learning in Korea, which are famous for attaching importance to applied disciplines. Many majors enjoy a high reputation in the world, and their teaching quality is very good. Semiconductors, automobile manufacturing, computers, economics, business and art are all first-class in Asia. Korean diplomas are widely recognized in the world.

2. Focus on international cooperation

The Korean government attaches importance to strengthening international education cooperation. Moreover, Korean universities combine leniency with severity, and pay more attention to Korean scores when enrolling undergraduates. You don't need college entrance examination scores, you can choose your major freely, and you won't be limited by scores. It is relatively easy for China students to study for the corresponding degree.

3. A generous scholarship

Korean universities have set up quite high scholarships for international students. In the first semester, tuition fees will be reduced by 40~70% or even 65,438+000% according to Topik scores, and then reduced by 30~70% or even higher according to academic performance.

4, low cost, suitable for working families.

The annual cost of studying abroad in South Korea is about 8,000 ~ 65,438+million RMB for private universities in Seoul, and only 30,000 ~ 40,000 RMB for national key universities. Excellent international students can apply for 30%~ 100% scholarship. Compared with some other developed countries, the cost of studying abroad is very economical.

5. Students work legally, and there are many opportunities for work-study programs.

It is popular for international students to work, and South Korea allows international students to work 20 hours a week. You can apply for positions such as canteen, dormitory, library and assistant professor. You can basically work in convenience stores, restaurants, construction sites, farms and other places outside the school. There are several ways to calculate the salary of part-time job. Convenience stores and the like are generally 50-60 yuan/hour, manual labor on the construction site is 80- 100 yuan/hour, and tutoring can reach 100-200 yuan/hour.

6. Employment situation of Korean-funded enterprises

China and South Korea are close trading partners, and many Korean companies choose to set up branches in China in China. There are also huge companies like Samsung, LG, Hyundai and Kia. These Korean companies not only pay attention to knowledge and professional skills when recruiting, but also favor Korean students who are knowledgeable and familiar with Korean. Therefore, after studying in Korea, it will greatly increase the chances of entering Korean enterprises for employment.
