However, do you know the fierce competition in the domestic postgraduate entrance examination market? In recent years, the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examination has reached record highs. In 2020, 34 1 10,000 people signed up, and in 2026, 5438+0 reached 37.7 million people. In 2022, the number of applicants is estimated to reach 4.2 million! But for many ordinary students, the specific number of students admitted is less than 30%! This means that you don't have to make unremitting efforts with difficulties and twists and turns. It is very likely that you only have to run with you!
Then why don't you apply for a master's degree in Korea regardless of studying in Korea? Today, we will talk about the qualifications of international students applying for the Korean master's program.
At the national level, both applicants and parents must be non-Korean nationals. This is generally proved by your passport, visa, identity document, household registration book and notarial certificate of kinship. It can be said that it is a relatively simple part to prepare in advance.
At the diploma level, you need an undergraduate diploma, a degree certificate, and a detailed transcript of four years of college. However, you can apply for admission in September as a college preparatory student in the next semester, and then return the relevant diploma to the school after graduation. This is the most time-saving, labor-saving and efficient method. After the postgraduate entrance examination in China, if you feel unsatisfactory, you can immediately decide whether to apply for Korean graduate students.
At that time, I missed the postgraduate exam because I went to Korea for one year next semester. In order to guard against risks, I am afraid that the bamboo basket will draw water with a sieve. In my senior year, I submitted to South Korea for postgraduate study next semester, which is also a very wise choice in retrospect.
In terms of language expression ability, under normal circumstances, major universities in South Korea have formulated the minimum application standards for language scores. Take Kyung Hee University as an example. It is stipulated that this master's applicant must reach the Korean TOPIK4 or above (some technical majors are above Grade 5), IELTS 5.5 or above, and TOEFLiBT80 or above. Because most technical majors are taught in Korean, students with high-end TOPIK test scores will have an advantage when registering. Which majors can only apply for English? I can leave you a message to explain.
The above three points are the most basic rules for applying for Korean graduate students. Let's take a look at several other key raw materials.
Level confirmation of Finance Bureau: Generally, it is necessary to submit the original and photocopy of the deposit term in the name of myself and my parents, and freeze deposits in multiple currencies exceeding 20,000 US dollars or equivalent (according to the clear regulations of different schools).
Official document materials: including simple self-introduction and course plan. These two raw materials will take some time for friends who apply for Korean graduate students to enter school. Career direction and study plan should be discussed in detail, and it must be remembered that there can be no typos. It is suggested to find a professional official document teacher to help check and correct.
Other materials: recommendation letters from experts and professors, personal portfolios, award certificates, work certificates related to willing technical majors and other original materials that are conducive to applying for study also need to be fully prepared to improve the chances of successful application.
From the above-mentioned basic materials for applying for Korean graduate students, we can know that language scores, school exam scores and official documents are the key elements for approval. Excellent thinking and language learning results can give you more management power in the process of selecting schools and applying. Therefore, friends who are still studying undergraduate and preparing to apply for a master's degree in Korean in advance, in addition to gradually learning Korean as soon as possible, must seize the time and strive to improve their average score.
Naturally, even if you haven't had time to learn Korean in the early days, it is entirely possible to get the necessary Korean exam results within half a year if you can find your own language training institution and understand the efficient Korean self-study method after graduation.
Generally speaking, compared with the domestic postgraduate entrance examination, the difficulty coefficient is greatly reduced. Prepare the application materials in advance according to the enrollment regulations, and prepare the necessary language scores as soon as possible. There is a high probability of applying to a famous Korean university, and there is no need to compete with the domestic million-strong postgraduate entrance examination army for a wooden bridge.
