Studying in South Korea — what to know

Cost of living

Monthly living expenses typically range ₩500,000–₩1,000,000 for food, transport and essentials. Dormitories are around ₩200,000–₩400,000/month, and provincial cities cost less than Seoul.

Language

Many programmes are taught in English; most universities offer Korean courses. Basic Korean (TOPIK 1–2) is needed for some programmes. We provide language training and TOPIK prep.

Student visa (D-2)

International students study on a D-2 visa. We guide you through the entire visa process. It allows part-time work up to 20 hours/week in term and full-time during vacations.

Healthcare

Korea has world-class healthcare. Students join the National Health Insurance (NHIS) — roughly ₩60,000–₩80,000/month — covering most medical costs.
