First, the time to continue studying for master's degree and doctor's degree in Korea
It takes at least 5 years to study for a master's degree and a doctorate in Korea, including 2 years for a master's degree and 3 years for a doctorate.
Second, South Korea's postgraduate and doctoral conditions
Universities that apply for studying in Korea, that is, graduate schools, are mainly divided into master's applications, doctoral applications and master's and doctoral applications. Among them, the study and research cycle of master and doctor is generally shorter than the sum of master and doctor. Therefore, there is a great advantage in graduation time. However, because continuous postgraduate study requires students' research ability, professors will have almost the same requirements for applicants as doctoral applicants. The content of comprehensive evaluation mainly includes the ranking of the source schools, the degree of professional matching, research results and research intentions.
In addition, Korean should reach TOPIK4 or above, and some majors will also require English scores. South Korea prefers IELTS scores, and students are advised to choose IELTS as far as possible when taking English tests. The success rate of the application is also directly related to the choice of Korean study majors. If you apply across majors, the success rate will be greatly affected in the case of a large span of majors. In particular, liberal arts graduates who apply for science and engineering-related majors are very likely to be rejected.
In addition, communication with the instructor, especially the matching degree between personality and laboratory atmosphere, is also very important. Korean culture pays attention to the atmosphere of small groups, and the working environment is actually more like a family environment. Therefore, as a new "family", whether you can adapt to the new environment is also one of the important criteria to measure the possibility of admission.

Fourth, the advantages of studying in South Korea
Poor grades also have the opportunity to enter a famous university.
Foreign students in Korean universities choose the policy of lenient entry and strict exit, that is, they can apply for high-quality universities if their high school grades are not good, as long as their Korean scores are in place. Of course, if you get excellent grades in high school and college entrance examination or hold an English certificate, you will have a higher chance of applying to top universities in Korea. Competitions, specialties, charity activities and other projects may be your extra points in applying for Korean universities.
Going to university in Korea is not as competitive as the popular majors in China, and you may not be able to choose your own major because of the scores and the number of applicants. The more popular a major is in South Korea, the more places China students can enroll. University majors are not affected by the fatal factor of high school grades, so they can choose their favorite majors or majors with broad employment prospects at will, and their classes are more active and targeted.
More personal space, strengthen independent ability.
Generally, students studying in Korea live alone or share a room, which makes it easier for them to have personal space to set learning goals and accomplish them. Living alone can also cultivate the ability to solve problems. The biggest feature of students who come back from studying abroad is that they are more independent than their peers.
