The review of student materials for applications to study in South Korea will be more stringent

As South Korea’s study abroad policy matures, South Korea will become more stringent in reviewing student materials. It is probably reflected in the following aspects: 1. The review of academic qualifications will be stricter. The copy submitted now may become a notarized document, and the graduation certificate will require a phone number. The school will verify the academic qualifications of the students one by one.

2. The number of years for graduation will gradually decrease from the current three years of graduation. Prestigious schools will require students to be fresh graduates or students who have graduated within one year.

3. The range of schools that students from the three schools can choose from has been narrowed; ordinary high school students applying to prestigious schools may have to submit their high school entrance examination scores before they can apply.

Although the material review has become stricter, other policies have become relatively loose: Korean universities with zero language skills for undergraduate studies in South Korea have now relaxed their language requirements for undergraduate students.

Now some Korean universities have begun to directly recruit undergraduates in China who have no foundation in Korean. After students arrive in Korea to enroll, they will take language courses for a period of time and then directly enter professional courses.

Relaxation of work-study and scholarship applications. The Korean government has gradually relaxed restrictions on part-time work for international students. It turns out that language school students are not allowed to work part-time. Now, graduate students, undergraduates, and language students can work legally. Each school has also relaxed the application conditions for scholarships and increased the amount of scholarships. The relaxed work-study policy and the gradually improved and stable visa system have made South Korea the first choice for studying in Asia for working-class people!

Admission application

Korean universities mainly focus on students’ language proficiency and other aspects of performance, and do not regard test scores as an important admissions review criterion. And now college graduates can also apply for undergraduate programs at prestigious Korean universities.

Employment

Now the Korean government and companies very much welcome Chinese students to study in South Korea, and large Korean companies such as Samsung, LG, and Hyundai have special recruitment plans for Chinese students every year. Nowadays, many students studying in Korea choose to stay in Korea for further study or development after graduation. The South Korean government also hopes that Chinese students with both language skills and knowledge will stay in South Korea to solve social problems such as low birth rates and rigid thinking. Many Chinese international students have obtained opportunities to work in large cultural communication organizations and large enterprises, such as Korea's largest newspaper Chosun Ilbo, East Asia Architectural Research Association, Daewoo Industrial, Samsung, LG, SK, Hyundai, etc.
