In 2023, a survey was conducted on the number of general universities by administrative region, and the results were as follows.

 

Seoul, the capital of South Korea, had the highest number of universities, followed by Gyeonggi-do, which is close to Seoul.

 

Regions with many universities are likely to have popular eateries and entertainment options for students.

 

If you want to enjoy your life in Korea while attending school, it would be helpful to refer to the above information to find the university you desire.

 

 

 

 

[Korean Language Education]

 

As many foreign exchange students are attending universities and graduate schools in Korea recently, there are many schools offering Korean language classes.

 

Typically, Korean language programs are offered under names such as Language Education Institute, Korean Language Education Center, or Korean Language Institute.

 

If you find it difficult to keep up with classes conducted in Korean, you can improve your skills through Korean language classes.

 

However, there are also classes conducted in languages other than Korean. Some departments offer English tracks or multilingual tracks (English, Chinese, Korean), so it's recommended to check the admission guidelines before applying.

 

 

 

 

[Test of Proficiency in Korean]

 

Generally, when applying to Korean universities or graduate schools, you must submit your scores from the Korean language proficiency test.

 

TOPIK(Test of Proficiency in Korean) allows non-native Korean speakers to measure their Korean language proficiency through this test.

 

The test consists of listening, writing, and reading sections and is evaluated on a scale of six levels (Levels 1 to 6).
