1, undergraduate university
Undergraduate universities here generally need four to six years of study time, and most majors need four years. Only medical majors need to study for six years. This university implements the credit system. When many students in these schools go to other countries to study other courses during their studies, and because there is a rule in Korea that men must perform military service when they reach a certain age, a considerable number of students in these schools will only spend about four years studying all the courses in the university, but if they apply for medical majors, they will have to study for six years.
However, unless there are special reasons, international students studying here can't go to other countries to study by dropping out of school like local students. And if students drop out of school, according to the regulations here, they can only leave Korea during this time. Therefore, everyone must confirm this with their professors to avoid any other troubles.
2. Junior college
There are also colleges here in Korea, and the courses of these schools are generally only two or three years. Of course, these schools are also based on credit system. There are many majors in these colleges, such as animation production and design, which belong to college courses and are all applied majors.
3. Graduate students and other institutions.
There are also different classifications of graduate schools here, such as graduate schools with academic research direction and practical direction. Generally, the master's degree needs to be studied for more than 2 years, and the doctoral course will be one year longer. Students must obtain the required credits first, and then take some exams, and then they can prepare papers and be evaluated by professors in related fields before they can get their degrees. After that, students can go to work and go to higher schools, such as doctoral programs. At present, most universities here arrange research content and work in doctoral or above courses.
Although students who have finished their undergraduate courses can apply for this graduate student according to their major, many schools, especially private schools, will give these students more scholarships if they are willing to study for graduate students in their own undergraduate schools.
