1. What is the level of learning Korean in Korea?
At the undergraduate level, Korean is required to reach IK3 level or above. For example, Kyung-hee, Central University and Hanyang University require IK4 or above. Some schools can also apply for a Level 5 certificate of completion from the Language Institute. Classes like Korea University, Korean Level 3 or Language College Level 4 can apply. Because of the large number of applicants from well-known colleges and universities, the principle of merit-based admission is basically adopted.
In the postgraduate stage, some colleges and universities will also have clear regulations. Generally speaking, Korean level 5 is required, IELTS level 5.5 or above, and some business majors require Korean level 6. If you have no English scores, you need to take the IELTS TOEFL English test. The specific application requirements are subject to the school.
If you don't have level 3, you need to improve your language scores to enter Korean universities smoothly. Generally speaking, there are two ways to choose:
● Language schools (language colleges) are also called Korean schools.
Korean Language School is a language education institution established by Korean universities for international students.
Korean colleges do not have strict requirements for foreign students' Korean proficiency. Students, undergraduates and graduates from senior high schools, junior colleges, vocational high schools, technical secondary schools and technical schools can apply, and the zero foundation of Korean is not affected.
Studying in a language school can not only improve IK ability, but also improve oral and listening ability, so that students can integrate into Korean social life better and faster, which requires students to have strong self-control ability. Because foreign universities don't have time to pay attention to and take care of every student, it is not recommended that zero-based students go directly to the Language Institute of Korea University.
● Korean preparatory course for studying abroad
The preparatory course for studying in Korea is a bridge course specially designed for China students who are going to South Korea for undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Help China students to study in Korea smoothly before going abroad from five aspects: language, academic, cross-cultural communication, professional and humanistic quality.
This course provides opportunities for most high school graduates and people with the same educational background or above to receive high-quality educational resources in key universities in China, which greatly reduces the cost and risk of studying abroad and enables students to better adapt to the life of studying abroad.
Students who have completed the Korean study abroad preparatory course for half a year to one year in China and passed the examination can go to the first-class high-quality universities in Korea to pursue undergraduate studies. After completing all credits and papers, you can obtain diplomas and degree certificates issued by overseas universities, and you can apply for doctoral-related courses.
2. Which students are not suitable for studying in Korea?
1, unable to leave the small group.
Students who are used to going to school with their classmates in China and even insisting on finding someone to accompany them in the toilet are not suitable for studying abroad. It is not easy to meet like-minded friends after going abroad. Most students walk alone on campus with small schoolbags on their backs. If you don't need company all the time and can't accept being friends with yourself, studying abroad will go through a lonely transition.
2, there is no independent ability
Studying in Korea is a test of your determination, and the dormitory location is not enough. Most international students have to live off campus alone. Life is rough, there is no monitor, guide and other settings in learning, and all the news needs to be obtained on your own initiative.
Many students have experienced a dilemma abroad. How can I not know what other students know? Korean universities are like this. All journalism schools will publish them online. If you don't have the ability to actively query news, you may miss a lot of news. Among them, exchange programs, scholarships, graduation conditions, etc. More important. If you know more information than others, you may have more development.
3. Can't work as a team
The education received before going abroad may rarely involve teamwork, but foreign education is very persistent about teamwork, especially on Korean campuses, and even most of the mid-term and final exams will be replaced by teamwork. If you are too silent to fight for your ideas, it will really affect your grades.
When you finish your homework with Korean classmates, don't compromise, it will be overhead. Is it for your own good that others ask you to work less in the group? No, I don't trust you because I'm worried that you will affect the performance of the team.
4. There is no concept of spending money
Among the mainstream countries studying abroad, South Korea spends less. At the same time, the tuition is lower, and thousands of dollars a month can easily solve the living expenses.
However, South Korea is a very suitable country for young people to study abroad. If students go abroad without a good concept of financial management, they often spend money like water. Many times, the wallet is empty, and they don't know where the money has gone.
Parents are worried that their children will suffer abroad and ask for money, which will cheat them. Parents are advised to give their children money on a monthly basis so that they can develop a good consumption concept at school.
Although studying abroad is good, it also has a lot of physical and mental torture. If students are too delicate, it is recommended to stay in the comfort zone, otherwise you will suffer a lot.
