Preparation list of application materials for studying in Korea
1, proof of nationality
As we all know, if you want to apply for studying in Korea as a foreigner, not only must you be of foreign nationality, but your parents must not be Korean. So it is necessary to prove the nationality of three people.
2. Certificate of academic qualifications
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, undergraduate diploma, degree certificate notarization, transcript notarization (some schools require certification), education inquiry report of the Ministry of Education, and education degree certification of the Ministry of Education.
3. Proof of family relationship
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.
4. Proof of language ability
If most schools explicitly request to submit language scores when applying, then we must submit language scores and materials together.
5. Proof of deposit
At present, more than 90% Korean universities need to submit proof of deposit when applying. Generally speaking, the deposit certificate required by the Language Institute is 80,000 yuan, and the undergraduate and graduate students are 6.5438+0.5 million yuan. It is recommended that the deposit certificate be issued in my own name, so that it will be more convenient to submit materials.
6. Letter of recommendation (some schools)
Some schools will require universities to issue letters of recommendation, so we need to contact well-connected professors 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.
7. Award-winning certificates and work experience inside and outside the school.
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.

First, language+undergraduate course
1. Enrollment target: suitable for students who have no Korean scores/Korean is not up to standard and must have a high school diploma.
2. Language requirements: To apply for undergraduate courses in Korean universities, Korean must reach at least Grade 3, and better institutions must reach Grade 4 to be competitive.
Applicants who do not meet the Korean requirements need to learn Korean first. Therefore, it is feasible to study Korean in China or South Korea, but I suggest that you study in China for a period of time first, and then go to a foreign university language school to continue learning the language. This will not only lay a good foundation for the language, but also save money.
Note: Korean schools have admission opportunities in March, June, September and June every year, 65438+February, with a semester of two and a half months. Applicants can choose to take several Korean courses according to their language level, and then go to university to study after obtaining satisfactory results.
Second, language+placement
1. Enrollment target: It is also suitable for students with poor Korean performance/no Korean foundation, but the applicants have different academic qualifications. Transfer students must have a college diploma/junior year.
2. Language requirements: Applicants who fail to meet Korean requirements need to study Korean in a language school. The specific study time depends on their actual situation, usually about six months to one year. After obtaining the third-class certificate of Korea, apply for placement students in Korean universities.
Note: Students who apply to transfer to Korean universities should choose a major that is not too different from their previous majors. Normal and medical majors are not allowed to apply.
Third, direct application.
1. Enrollment target: students who are suitable for Korean scores.
2. Language requirements: If you want to go to Korea for undergraduate study, the applicant must have Korean proficiency (Korean level 3-5), and individual majors must submit English scores (IELTS 5.5+/ TOEFL 80+). Of course, the higher your language score, the greater your application advantage.
Further reading: You should bring your daily necessities when studying in Korea.
1. Clothes: Many people think that there are many kinds of clothes in Korea, and they look good, so they think about going to the famous Dongdaemun market in Korea to buy beautiful and cheap fashion without clothes, but they still have to bring clothes. This means that they don't need to bring fashion, but they should bring some more formal suits, thicker sportswear and jeans, because these things are more expensive in Korea.
2, sports shoes: Our friends who often watch Korean dramas also know that you must have a pair of sports shoes and a school uniform to study in Korea, and Korean sports shoes are more expensive, so you must bring one or two pairs of sports shoes, especially two pairs of sports shoes.
3. Umbrella: The climate in Korea is similar to that in China, and there will be rainy season, so you should take two umbrellas. You can save a lot of money by bringing your own small items that you have and then need in Korea.
4. Books: We all know that Korean books are expensive, so we can take some books with us. Recommended books are: Korean-Chinese dictionary, Chinese-Korean dictionary; Bring more grammar books (here is a trick to learn Korean, and bring more books about China culture, language and scenic spots, because Koreans still like China culture very much, which will help you make Korean friends and play a great role in learning Korean), and you can also prepare some learning tools such as pens and notebooks to carry with you.
5, medicine: bring more cold medicine, painkillers, antipyretics, antidiarrheal drugs, band-AIDS. Because it costs a lot of money to see a doctor and buy medicine in Korea. And these drugs are relatively cheap in China.
6. Cash: Tuition fees are generally remitted to the school, so you should bring some cash in addition to tuition fees. It is recommended to bring more cash for the first time, because WeChat and Alipay are not as widely used in South Korea as in China. It should also be noted that after the Bank of China changed the won, it directly took the won to South Korea, because the exchange rate in South Korea was a little lower than that in China.
7. Photos: It is very expensive to take photos in Korea, so you can take more photos. The background color of each photo with 10-20 is similar.
8. Eat: No meat. South Korea is very strict about this. You can bring sugar and some snacks or some vegetarian China specialties. You can eat out when you are homesick.
9. Computers: At present, universities in China generally use computers to do their homework, and so does South Korea. Hand in your homework and write it on a computer. The computer rack in Korea is a little more expensive than in China. It should also be noted that in Korea, computers are all in Korean.
10, adapter: Korean plug is different from ours, so the target of buying adapter. It is also recommended to bring two wiring boards with more than five sockets (the line length is more than 2 meters).
1 1. Glasses: A nearsighted friend must wear a pair of glasses (except the one on his eyes). If they wear contact lenses, bring some nursing liquid, because these things are also more expensive in Korea.
