First, English scores.
When applying for a Korean school, you must submit English scores of certain majors, such as business administration, international business, English-related majors, international trade, GSIS, medicine, etc. Similarly, some top 20 universities must also submit English scores, such as Seoul National University, Korea University, Yonsei University, Xijiang University, Kyung Hee University, Sungkyunkwan University and so on. Lack of English ability will definitely affect the quality of lectures and graduation time.
More than 20% words in Korean come from English. Terminology and vocabulary in these professional fields will become a hard stumbling block to curriculum understanding. In the case of insufficient English ability, you need to look up every transliterated word in the dictionary, which greatly affects the speed of attending classes and reading papers. In addition, many professors in undergraduate and university colleges will teach in Korean and English. Some professors even only provide English courseware, because Koreans who can be admitted to top universities are not inferior to English! ! According to data analysis, more than 80% of foreign students in top universities in Korea will get English scores before graduation, such as IELTS, TOEFL and TOEFL.
