There is actually no difference between March and September in South Korea, except that the time of college entrance examination in South Korea is 165438+ 10, so students must enter the undergraduate course in March. So the number of students enrolled in spring will be more. And our college entrance examination is in June, so September is the choice of many international students.
1, entrance ceremony
Because March is the enrollment season for Korean freshmen, many local students officially entered the undergraduate course at this time. During this period, schools usually have an "entrance ceremony". In this ceremony, freshmen need to go to the lecture hall, and there are usually lectures by the principal and dean.
However, the entrance of international students is in September, so the school omitted the entrance ceremony. In addition, there will be a welcome party for freshmen in March, with the purpose of letting freshmen know each other and make more friends. Similarly, there will be no welcome party when the school starts in September, but now many universities in South Korea are paying attention to this issue. In order to let foreign students integrate quickly, each major will hold a small welcome party for foreign students, so that students can know more freshmen, seniors and professors.
2. Differences between courses
In fact, the course content in March and September is the same, and only a few majors will have minor changes. Moreover, no matter whether students enter school in spring or fall, they need to complete credits, and finally they have to complete graduation exams or papers before they can graduate.
3. Extracurricular activities
Generally speaking, there will be more extracurricular activities in Korean universities in March, such as school orientation meetings and celebrations, and each community will have its own activities.
4. Admission skills
Because foreign students in Korean universities belong to the special admission scope, there is no need for a written test. Whether you can enter the school depends on the materials submitted by students or interviews. Therefore, the entrance examination takes a long time, and it is generally necessary to apply six months in advance. If you want to enter school in September, you must submit your application before the end of March. If you want to enter school in March, you must apply in September of the previous year, otherwise you will not be able to catch up with the admission in March next year.
