At the beginning of the epidemic, Korean officials and many universities issued solidarity on the homepage of international students in China, expressing their strong support for international students in China and China.

For the health and safety of foreign students, most universities in South Korea launched online teaching in the spring semester, which enabled many foreign students who could not return to South Korea to complete their studies normally.

In addition, in order to solve the problem that some foreign students can't submit their language scores when applying for Korean universities because of the postponement or cancellation of IK exams, some Korean universities also use online interviews instead of language scores, or provide convenience for foreign students to apply for universities through school exams.

South China has also provided many conveniences for international students, such as simplifying visas for international students and appropriately extending the stay in landing visa, which is undoubtedly a very warm-hearted measure for international students.

As the Ministry of Education said, the impact of the epidemic on studying abroad is temporary. Since we have chosen the road of studying abroad, we should pay more attention to how to give full play to our competitive advantages among many applicants: improving the grade point, getting better language scores and winning scholarships are issues that all students who are going to study abroad need to pay special attention to.

Among the epidemic prevention measures in many countries, the epidemic prevention work in South Korea has been relatively good, and obvious epidemic prevention effect has been achieved in a short time, so it is safe to study in South Korea on 202 1, and it is possible to study in South Korea on 202 1.

Undergraduate courses in Korea are all admitted by application system, and the most important assessment criteria are material review and Korean proficiency. Some schools and majors will have entrance exams or interviews.

General Korean Proficiency Test (IK) reaches 3-4, so you can apply for undergraduate course. If Korean can't meet the requirements of undergraduate course, you can generally go to a Korean school or a Korean preparatory class in a domestic university first, and then go to an undergraduate school after passing the Korean exam.
