What materials do I need to prepare to study in Korea?
I. Proof of nationality
To study in Korea, you must apply as a foreigner, not only with foreign nationality, but also with Korean parents. Therefore, we need to prove the nationality of your parents and myself.
Second, education.
Education is the most critical and important part of studying abroad preparation.
Academic qualifications are mainly divided into notarization and certification, and certification is divided into consular certification and Ministry of Education certification. Every certification body is different.
Specifically, it includes high school diploma certification, senior high school entrance examination score certification, college entrance examination score certification (not required by some universities), undergraduate diploma, degree certificate notarization, transcript notarization (required by some schools), education inquiry report of Ministry of Education, and education degree certification of Ministry of Education.
Note: The specific materials to be notarized depend on the actual situation of students and the requirements of the school.
Third, the family relationship certification materials
This part is mainly to prove my family relationship with my parents. For most families, it is only necessary to provide the household registration book, which proves that you are the son and daughter of my father or mother, commonly known as the proof of kinship. Generally speaking, only institutions can issue this certificate.
Four. Proof of language ability
If most schools explicitly request to submit language scores when applying, then we must submit language scores and materials together.
Note: If students don't have the ability of Korean, they usually study Korean for about one year, and they can go to Korean universities to study.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) certificate of deposit
At present, more than 90% Korean universities need to submit proof of deposit when applying. It is suggested that the deposit certificate be issued in the name of the student himself, so that it will be more convenient to submit the materials and can be taken out after the deposit expires.
The deposit certificate required by the Language Institute is 80,000 yuan (to learn a language).
Undergraduate and graduate students are 6.5438+0.5 million yuan.
6. Letter of recommendation (some schools)
Some schools will require universities to issue letters of recommendation, so we need to contact good teachers to prepare. Generally speaking, letters of recommendation are free-form, but they need to be filled out in English or Korean, put in an envelope, signed and sealed before the school can recognize them.
Seven, inside and outside the school award certificate, work experience.
This part of the materials is basically not required to be submitted by the school, but if there is, the admission will be extra points. If it is a Chinese certificate, it cannot be submitted directly. You need translation and notarization. It is recommended to submit certificates related to your major, and you will get more points.
Application documents for studying in Korea
1, introduce yourself
Self-introduction is a very important factor in the application for studying in Korea. Its main contents include the growth environment and learning background of learning, the experience of participating in activities inside and outside the school, why to choose this school and major, and so on. If you apply for a research book, you should also focus on describing your activities or internship experience related to the applied professional field during your study. Self-introduction is one of the most important reference materials in the application for studying abroad, and it is also a key opportunity for applicants to fully show themselves. At the same time, self-introduction is also a synthesis and summary of all application materials, just like a main thread that runs through. A good self-introduction can help international students stand out from the numerous application materials and apply successfully.
2. Resume
Generally speaking, only a few universities in Korea require resumes, such as Korea University. However, if you want to have sex with the professor before applying, it is a very good choice to have a resume. The characteristics of resume should be highly summarized, and everyone should extract their own highlights here, so that the professor can leave a deep impression on you. In addition, because Korean universities will strictly stipulate the number of words to introduce yourself, you can put other aspects you think need to be added in your resume. Resume should at least cover personal information, education, honors won, major personal events, published works, participation in community organizations and other abilities and hobbies.
3. Personal statement
1) the direction to be studied;
2) Future career goals.
3) The academic or professional interests and background of the applicant;
If the personal statement is well written, it can greatly improve the chances of applicants getting admission and scholarships, which is an excellent opportunity for applicants. Unfortunately, although many applicants have devoted themselves to IELTS and GRE, their personal statements are often done overnight, perfunctory, lacking in content and full of grammatical mistakes.
Korean universities do not only evaluate the qualifications of applicants through traditional examinations, which does not mean that their admission standards are not strict. When foreign professors decide whether you are the student they want, they want to hear your opinion of themselves first. When you introduce yourself through the application documents, you will find that the opportunities and challenges you face are equally huge.
To write a successful application document, it is not enough to have only those basic writing skills (clarity and conciseness) suitable for any writing type. A good application document requires the applicant to skillfully show his unique personality and experience in a completely different way from other applicants. This is a demanding and often complicated job.
This is true not only for China people, but also for native English speakers. However, we still need to overcome the language barrier in China.
4. Letter of recommendation
Letter of recommendation refers to the origin of students, school teachers and other people who are familiar with students, and make an objective evaluation of students from the perspective of a third party. During the application process, you usually need one or two letters of recommendation. Letter of recommendation plays an important role, because in addition to transcripts and language proficiency, letter of recommendation is an objective evaluation material for students.
5. Academic plan
The study plan is the most important for the application documents. It can be said that Korean universities basically know your ability to write papers from the applicant's study plan. In terms of distinguishing majors, most majors, such as sociology, philosophy, business, media and so on. You need to write a study plan. The main purpose is to examine the applicant's language ability. If you can write beautiful Korean documents, you can at least prove from the side that you have the potential to use fluent spoken English, which is very helpful for these professional applications. In the process of writing, you must not write empty words, such as "I will try my best to complete the teaching project after entering school" and "I plan to continue to improve my Korean ability and strive for Band 6 after entering school". How to finish the professor's project and get the result of IK6 needs to be detailed and detailed.
