Korean Language Class
South Korea has increasingly been attracting international students into their undergraduate, graduate, and research programs. In 2017, approximately 70,230 international students in South Korean universities were enrolled in degree programs, while another 51,860 were enrolled in non-degree studies. South Korea’s target is 200,000 international students by 2023, and that goal will be well within reach at anything close to current growth rates. There are about 400 national and private universities and some universities have state-of-the-art research facilities in several emerging scientific fields. Universities that are oriented towards internationalization conduct 30% of their lectures in English. Graduate programs have more lectures in English than undergraduate courses. There are some universities where all the courses are taught in English. Another option is to enroll in a Korean language course before the academic session.
