For students who apply for Korean teaching major with zero foundation in Korean, they need to apply for language courses first. They can study Korean preparatory courses for half a year or one year, and then enter Korean universities to study master's courses after meeting the language entrance requirements.

If you have basic knowledge of Korean, and the undergraduate graduates meet the entrance requirements of Korean universities or colleges, and the Korean level is above 4, or the English IELTS level is above 5.5, you can directly apply for graduate students in Korean universities.

3, read Chinese MBA- 1.5 years without language foundation.

Some universities in South Korea have graduate students taught in Chinese, and there is no language requirement for admission. The educational system is generally 1.5 years.

For example, South Korea's Jeonnam University Chinese MBA graduates (MBA graduates), Jeonnam University has obtained AACSB certification, representing the highest honor of business schools. The MBA system in China is 1.5 years, with three semesters and shorter study time.

Generally speaking, it takes several years to study in Korea, depending on whether students have a language foundation or choose a postgraduate course.

Second, the basic language conditions for Korean graduate students to study abroad

1, Korean teaching language requirements

Teaching in Korean universities is generally Korean. To apply for Korean graduate students, it is generally required that the Korean Proficiency Test (topik) should reach Band 4 or above.

For students who have no foundation in Korean, it takes one year of language study to study in Korea, and then go to graduate courses after meeting the entrance requirements.

2, the language requirements of English teaching

Some Korean universities also teach in English, such as gsis, which generally requires IELTS 5.5 or above.

Third, the language requirements of Chinese teaching

Some colleges and universities in South Korea have Chinese-taught graduate students, and there is no language requirement for admission, such as the Chinese MBA graduate students of Jeonnam University in South Korea.

Korean scores are not required for admission. After arriving in Korea, students only need to learn simple Korean for daily communication.

South Korea's postgraduate entrance requirements are relatively relaxed. Students can get a diploma, a degree certificate from a university, or a diploma provided by a senior student, as well as corresponding language scores, and prepare paperwork and mail it to Korean institutions for review.

3. What should I do if I have no language foundation to study in Korea?

There are more and more students planning to study in Korea, so one of the necessary conditions for studying in Korea is the students' own Korean ability. When making an overall study abroad plan for students, in addition to using the time in China to test their Chinese proficiency, there is another option: going to a Korean language school.

1, studying Korean preparatory classes in domestic universities

The preparatory classes for studying abroad in domestic universities are specially set up for students who want to study abroad early, such as 1+4, 0.5+0.5+4 project.

If you are studying at a university in China to prepare for studying abroad, and your language scores meet the entrance standards of foreign universities, such as Band 4 of Korean, then you don't have to go to a foreign language school to study, and you can study directly as an undergraduate.

2. Go directly to the Korean Language Institute.

Starting with phonetics. The natural language environment is very obvious for the improvement of Korean. Of course, you need to have a very strong self-study ability.

The class is taught entirely in Korean, with systemic grammar exercises for learning Korean as the basic content, as well as listening, reading, composition, conversation and Korean culture.

In terms of life, language schools generally have no accommodation, and students need to find their own surrounding homestays. But some schools have their own dormitories. Generally, the accommodation fee for one person and one room includes two meals in the morning and evening, and the time spent in the shower and toilet in January is about 400,000 won.
