To apply for studying in Korea as an international student, both the applicant and his parents must be of non-Korean nationality.
2. Education
It is necessary to meet the requirements of prequalification, and some majors may have certain requirements for prequalification background. However, the vast majority of schools support cross-disciplinary applications, and it is suggested that the professional span should not be too large, and cross-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary applications are acceptable.
3. Language conditions
When studying in Korea, language achievement is a key consideration in studying abroad. Most schools and majors require Korean scores, and a few English-taught majors require English scores.
So you can't study in Korea without Korean grades?
Of course not. There are many well-known universities in South Korea that offer Chinese-taught majors, such as dongguk university's Master of Image Production, South Korea's BenQ University's Chinese MBA and so on. There are also many universities with unique undergraduate training mode, which can apply directly without language scores.
4. Economic situation
Only a stable source of family income can effectively guarantee the normal study and life of international students, and at the same time, it can effectively curb malicious work and illegal detention. Therefore, to apply for a degree program in Korea, you need to provide a deposit certificate of 20,000 US dollars or equivalent in the applicant's personal name.
5. Application materials
Whether you are studying undergraduate, master or doctor in Korea, you need to prepare household registration books and other related materials (such as ID cards and passports). ), education (such as graduation certificate, transcripts, etc. ), documents (such as resume, study plan, etc. ) and economy (such as deposit certificate, employment certificate, etc. ).
Second, the conditions for studying in Korea at various stages

2. Conditions for studying abroad for Korean masters

Methods of learning Korean in Korea
1, self-study
This must be a problem that all beginners are struggling with.
Self-study is the first choice of many people because of its low price, so Korean fans began to collect all kinds of teaching videos online, and the collection list was very full, but how many really opened? The video I pieced together is difficult to form a system, and the knowledge points are not comprehensive enough, so it is difficult to step by step. Maybe learning Korean is not worth the loss. It's simple.
In addition, the Korean teaching videos of various video platforms are mixed, which is really difficult for a beginner to distinguish. I remember brushing some small videos of Korean students teaching pronunciation on a short video APP before. Poor pronunciation makes people laugh and cry. Korean pronunciation requires high lip shape and tongue position, and the effect of watching recorded teaching videos is very poor. Once you get into the wrong pronunciation habit, it is too late to correct it. Be careful of all kinds of unidentified teaching videos on the internet ~
2. Korean Language Institute
Many friends who apply for academic courses will choose to go to Korean College first in order to accept the influence of the language environment in advance or have more opportunities to take the IK exam.
The teaching form of the Language Institute is closer to the daily life of Koreans, allowing you to subtly accept the influence of the language environment, which is helpful for later communication and class, and the teaching method is absolutely formal and systematic. Most Korean language colleges enroll students four times a year, starting in March, June, September and 65438+February respectively. Once every three months, if you can keep up with the progress and pass the mid-term and final exams step by step, you will basically meet the language standards for applying for undergraduate freshmen after graduating from CET-4 in about one year. In addition, the number of IK examinees in South Korea is much larger than that in China. If you can get enough Korean scores during this period, there is basically no problem in applying for admission to Korean schools, and you may even get a scholarship Hihia ~
However, the shortcomings are also obvious. Korean Language Institute is taught in Korean by Korean teachers. If there is no Korean foundation at all, it may be difficult to keep up with the teaching progress at first.
3. Korean language training institutions
In the case that the epidemic situation is not completely clear, the major Korean training institutions in China are hot. Finding a reliable language training institution is definitely the top priority. How to examine whether an institution is formal? In addition to brand influence and institutional qualifications, the most important thing is the teacher's ability, such as academic qualifications, school background, study experience in South Korea, teaching experience, etc ..... Each is an important criterion for testing.
Small language learning is different from our usual class form, and generally adopts small class system. During the epidemic, many students had no choice but to choose online courses. Although it may have some adverse effects on language learning, if they are lucky enough to meet reliable institutions and professional teachers, these problems can be solved perfectly. In the early stage of Korean learning, face-to-face teaching will be more beneficial, especially in correcting pronunciation. Even if you can't teach offline because of the epidemic, you can choose one-on-one online class, which will help the teacher tailor the teaching plan for you and find the missing parts more specifically. In addition, for students who have no language foundation and want to go to a Korean college, it may be easier to adapt to the teaching methods of Korean college after receiving Korean teaching in regular colleges in China and laying a certain language foundation ~
The disadvantage may be that the cost will be higher, but the effect should not be underestimated ~

Start from a small direction, and finally sum up your overall thinking, that is, if you enter xx University for undergraduate study, what are your plans for the first semester, the second semester, and the third and fourth semesters. What level do you want to achieve after the whole study and what plans do you have after graduation, so that the professor feels that you are a modern young man with plans and ideas.
