Why study in Korea? Because it's cool, smart, and affordable!

Korea – the land of K-pop, incredible food, modern technology and… affordable higher education! We’re not just talking about BTS and kimchi here, but about super-quality universities that offer world-class education and flexible options for students.

How much does it cost? University fees in Korea are between 1,500 and 3,500 USD per semester — significantly less than what is often paid in Europe or the USA, and the quality of education is top-notch.

What can you do and work?

• Bachelor’s students can work up to 25 hours per week.
• Master’s students – up to 30 hours per week.
• During vacations and public holidays – no limits on the number of hours worked.

How much can you earn? On average, around $2,000 per month from part-time work — enough to cover your expenses, even save up and treat yourself to a little treat like a concert by your favorite K-pop band.

What do you get? A combination of quality education, affordable fees, and real-world work experience. You get a degree, skills, and memories you’ll talk about for the rest of your life.

And after graduation? Korea allows international students to stay in the country for up to two years on a job-seeking visa. This allows you to find a position with a Korean company, kick-start your career, and turn your student stay into a long-term professional opportunity.

Examples of universities: Woosong and Hanyang

• Woosong University, in the city of Daejeon, is an excellent choice for those looking for an international environment: it teaches mostly in English, with a focus on foreign languages and IT.

• Hanyang University, with campuses in Seoul and Ansan (ERICA), is one of the leaders in South Korea, especially in engineering and technical sciences. Founded in 1939, it is the first private university in the country to offer engineering and architecture programs.

And the best part is that with the help of Study Buddy you will receive full support in applying to Korea — whether you are attracted to Woosong with its international atmosphere or Hanyang with its engineering traditions.
