1, go to Korea to study at the Language Institute and then go to graduate school.
This scheme is more suitable for those students who plan to study in Korea in the future, that is, they may not be able to study until their junior or senior year.
If students don't have enough time to learn Korean in college, they can't reach the high level or the lowest T O P IK4 in Korean at the beginning of the next semester of their senior year. At this time, I suggest you go directly to the Language Institute in Korea. Studying Korean in these colleges will not only help you learn authentic Korean, but also help you in listening and speaking.
At the same time, you can have a more practical feeling and contact with the university life here, so that you can have a higher adaptability to this learning and living environment. Of course, in your spare time, you can even visit your target university. Only according to different colleges and majors, the average student's Korean level should reach T O P IK3.
2. Go directly to Korea for postgraduate study.
It can be said that some students have clear goals when applying for graduate school. Generally, as soon as they enter their freshman year, they will begin to prepare for studying in South Korea. Especially in freshman year, because there is more time to save on learning Korean, and four years of spare time is enough to learn it, so it is possible to reach the intermediate and advanced level of Korean before the start of senior year. Then students only need to apply directly after their Korean proficiency reaches the standard.
How to read a PhD after graduate school
1, judging from the school time.
Master and doctor: Generally speaking, the academic system of master and doctor in Korea is four years, but the final graduation time depends on your studies and thesis completion. If the master's degree and doctor's degree are studied separately, the master's degree is generally 2 years, and the doctor's degree is generally 3 years, so the total is 5 years. However, because the doctoral degree depends on the completion of students' credits, the duration of the whole degree is 2-9 years.
2. From the system point of view.
In these universities in Korea, not all majors have master's and doctoral programs. If it is an art course, there are not many schools offering postgraduate or above courses. If you study alone, you should choose your major according to your undergraduate background, while choosing the next step according to your previous undergraduate and graduate students will have a wider choice.
Further reading: What are the ways to apply for studying in Korea?
1. There is a T O P IK scoring application.
As the saying goes, T O P IK does not shake in the palm of your hand! The same is true when applying for an undergraduate course. Undergraduate application requires students to reach the level of T O P IK3-4 or above (different schools have different requirements), and they can apply normally. Applying with T O P IK scores is also an application method recognized by every university in Korea. In addition, IK score is also the most important language score in the application!
2. don't apply for T O P IK scores.
Many small partners have not got the T-OPIK scores at the time of application for various reasons. For example, the 6xx T-OPIK exam was recently cancelled due to the epidemic. In fact, you can apply for an undergraduate course normally without T-OPIK. Next, I will introduce several ways to apply for undergraduate courses without T-OPIK.
(1) Language College Grade Application
There is a saying that students studying in language schools really have an advantage in applying for this university at the undergraduate application stage. For example, the two students' T-O-PIK scores, high school scores and other conditions are exactly the same, and students with language school learning experience will definitely be given priority. Most schools in Korea recognize the achievements of their own language schools, such as Koryo, Yanshi, Hanyang and Zhongyang. Generally speaking, students are required to graduate from the Language Institute in grades 3-4. Of course, some schools also recognize the achievements of other schools, such as Minzu University and Shi Chong University.
(2) Internal inspection
On-campus examination is also an important way to apply for undergraduate courses. For example, in Kyung Hee University, students can take the Korean exam organized by the school if they don't have T O P IK scores and the language school scores are not up to standard. After passing the test, they are considered to meet the language requirements and can apply normally. In particular, students studying Korean in China can consider taking the on-campus exam to apply for the school.
(3) No language application.
First of all, it is a very risky behavior to apply for an undergraduate course without language scores. Two representative schools that can apply without a language are Central University and Hanyang University. These two schools need to make up T O P IK4 before entering the school or finish the fourth grade of our school's Language Institute before they can formally enter the school. Then why is this application risky? It is true that some students who applied for unpopular majors were admitted without a language, but if they applied for popular majors, such as media, the management suggested that they should meet the requirements of T O PIK before applying. Admission to Korean universities is merit-based, and applicants at the same time will definitely give priority to students with good language performance, so please choose this application method carefully.
(4) Application for English scores
Application for English scores is aimed at majors applying for English teaching. Students who want to apply can apply with recognized English scores such as IELTS and TOEFL.
