A detailed introduction to the daily expenses of studying in South Korea in 2022
bail
Proof of deposit must be submitted before studying in Korea, which is the guarantee for students to live and study in Korea. The amount can't be less than the sum of the tuition fee for the next year and the living expenses in the school area.
The general guarantee fund is 654.38+million yuan to 654.38+04 million yuan. Freeze for at least 3 months (depending on the school). Of course, the money is in your own account, only temporarily frozen. Usually it can be used after 3 months.
Language institute fee
To study in Korea, you must first go to the Korean Language Institute. Ordinary students in China study in Korean Language Institute 1 year, and they can apply for Korean universities when they reach Korean Band 4. The tuition fee of the General Language Institute is about 7500- 1 10,000 RMB per semester, with a semester of 3 months and 4 semesters a year. The annual cost is about 30,000-40,000 RMB. Of course, this is the cost of the regional language institute in Seoul, South Korea. The local language institute is about 20,000 to 30,000 years old.
Undergraduate tuition
Korean universities are divided into public universities and private universities. There are about 50 public universities and more than 300 private universities. Whether it is a public university or a private university, its diploma is recognized by the Ministry of Education of China.
Private schools are generally supported by some large enterprises or consortia, and the teachers are relatively strong. Generally speaking, there are about 30,000 undergraduates in national universities a year, but there are fewer scholarships. The annual tuition fee for undergraduates in private universities is about 50,000 to 60,000 RMB.
Although the tuition fee of private universities is twice that of public universities, due to the support of consortia, Korean private universities have many scholarships, offering 30%-75% tuition fee reduction for foreign students, and even 100% scholarship.
Special courses
There is also a graduate school in Korea that specializes in recruiting master students and doctoral students, called GSIS, which is a business graduate course offered by several of the best universities in Korea. Most courses are taught in English. These schools include Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, Kyung Hee University, Asian University, Ewha Women's University, Hanyang University (some of which are taught in Korean), Xijiang University, Central University and many other famous Korean universities. Their main majors are international cooperation, international relations, international trade and finance. The tuition fee of GSIS is relatively high, about 60,000-70,000 a year, but you can apply without a Korean foundation. It's a good choice for students who don't want to learn Korean, but want to study for graduate students in famous universities.
Hotel charges
In terms of accommodation, if you rent a house outside, the accommodation in Seoul is about 2000 ~ 3000 yuan per month, which is relatively cheaper in local cities, about 1500~2000 yuan per month. Students can also choose to live in the dormitory of the school (2-4 people). Relatively speaking, school accommodation will be cheaper. The monthly rent is between 800- 1600 RMB, and meals are included in some school accommodation fees.
fee for meal
Let's talk about the meal fee. The school canteen provides students with an economical and nutritious diet. A meal is about 15 ~ 20 RMB (1800 ~ 2500 won), and the dishes are different every day. If students go out to eat, the Korean food in ordinary restaurants is 5000-6000 won (that is, between RMB 30 and 36 yuan).
Major scholarships for studying in Korea
1, Korean University Scholarship
Many Korean universities will provide various scholarships for international students, and most of them will provide 30- 100% tuition reduction for outstanding international students.
2. Government Scholarships
This is a national scholarship selection project invited by the Korean government according to the Korea-China Education Exchange Agreement signed by the Korean and Chinese Ministries of Education. The Korea Agency for the Promotion of International Education (directly under the Ministry of Education of Korea) finally selects up to 50 winners (6 months to 1 year) from candidates who go to Korea to study master's or doctoral courses and research courses.
3. National Scholarships
After the new South Korean President park geun-hye took office, the most important measure is to significantly reduce the tuition fees of college students, so that more students can receive higher and better education. Of course, this policy is aimed at all Korean college students, including international students.
Secondly, South Korea has also set up scholarships of different levels and quotas for international students to encourage more outstanding students.
To apply for a national scholarship, you need to provide personal certificates, or you can submit an application by the school department. If you can get a recommendation letter from a professional professor, you have a good chance to get a full national scholarship.
4.K2 1 (Brain Korea 2 1) Scholarship.
This is a major project carried out by the Korean government to improve the research environment of universities. From 1999 to 2005, the Korean government will allocate10.4 trillion won (about 65438+400 million US dollars) for this project, mainly to improve the living and scientific research conditions of graduate students in various universities. In other words, give them scholarships.
Because it is shared by many schools, it is impossible for every student to get a lot of money, but it can basically solve the problem of eating. Take my school as an example. Each student is funded by BK2 1, so each student (Korean students and international students) will earn about 200,000 won every month (doctoral students are a little more than master students).
5. Scholarships provided by the Foundation
The Korea Scholarship Foundation provides special scholarships for international students who are interested in becoming the future of their research fields. Generally speaking, this scholarship is only for outstanding students pursuing postgraduate courses, and they can apply from the second semester. The bonus includes all tuition fee remission plus a bonus of 2 million won a year.
6. Scholarships from society and enterprises.
Universities will also receive many social donations, especially similar to European and American university foundations. These funds come from donations from members of the society such as the Alumni Association and the support of large domestic enterprise consortia in Korea.
Generally, the amount of such scholarships will be very high, but the evaluation of scholarships will be more comprehensive and strict, and there will be corresponding personnel and judges to evaluate the applicants. Relevant personnel will be qualified to evaluate the applicant's academic ability and potential, and use this as a standard to evaluate whether the level of international students meets the scholarship payment standard.
