In South Korea, the education system during its development was largely based on the achievements of Americans, Japanese and Germans, Koreans adopted the best qualities of the education systems of these countries, which allowed them to develop their own unique teaching methodology, and what is most interesting, it is very similar to the Uzbek education system. Until the 1940s, South Korea was considered one of the most "uneducated" countries in the world, with a population of 30 million, 2,000-3,000 people had diplomas of higher education, usually these diplomas were obtained outside of South Korea. Currently, Korea holds the leading position in the world in the number of students among the population!
Also, as in Uzbekistan, a large Korean University has from 10 to 20 faculties, in Korean the faculty is called as "taehak", and educational institutions in the country have a smaller number of faculties and areas of study.
Universities in South Korea are divided into:
To enter a state University, you need to pass a test. In private universities, the order of recruitment of students is determined independently, usually testing is not required. They study seriously, because the performance depends not only on the attitude of the future employer. It is considered a shame if expelled or cannot boast of their grades.
Study programs are similar to Uzbek, you can enroll in:
South Korea's University education does not involve a rigorous curriculum. You can choose 2-6 disciplines per semester, some of which are specialized. This approach sharpens the sense of responsibility, and the concept of "serve a couple" is not here. There are no seminars, there are lectures. But they do not imply the monotonous story of the teacher. Classes can take place in the form of presentations prepared by students. The teacher asks questions, encourages the students to discuss the information. The goal is to teach students to speak in front of an audience, to lead a discussion.
Another option is a discussion between students, when the teacher assumes the role of moderator. The evaluation system is based not on memorized material, but on the ability to understand information and apply it.
For example, after the explanation can give half an hour to complete the project. This technique teaches students to apply knowledge. There are also intermediate and final exams.
To get into the category of honors in graduate school, you need to engage in development or research activities. And most importantly, at the same time to go beyond the University, the city and the country. Important publications in international journals.
The education system in Korea allows employers to look after future employees in advance. Sometimes they even pay for students by signing a contract with them. Such graduates undertake to work in the company for a certain period, without having the right to resign.
You probably would like to ask what field to choose in studying in South Korea? What specialties are the most popular and in demand?
Popular specialties:
There are many applicants who want to study Economics and law. Also, many Koreans (especially males) annually enter technical specialties, where they study physics and computer science in depth. Every year the number of students who see themselves in the future as doctors and healers is growing. Interesting attitude in Korea to teachers, both present and future: their status a priori higher in society than, for example, even a successful lawyer.
As in Uzbekistan, as well as almost all over the world, South Korea has both bachelor's degree (4 years) and a master's degree (plus 2 years after receiving a bachelor's degree). To obtain a diploma in medical Sciences requires 6 years of study. 3 years need to study for those who want to get a doctorate (PhD).
For international students who do not know the Korean language, bachelor's and master's programs in English are often available (in this case, of course, a certificate of good English proficiency is required when applying, a language certificate such as IETLS, TOEFL or something similar is required.
Important! Study Year in South Korea begins not in September, as in Uzbekistan, but in March! Winter holidays last three months (exams are possible in December), and summer holidays last two months (July and August). Study continues from Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday-student weekend.
Have you already decided on the choice of University? Then it's time to find out the requirements and cost of training in South Korea!
Do you need perfect knowledge of the Korean language to study? Not necessarily, but at least you need to know English perfectly (preferably-level with IELTS, TOEFL certificates). Many lectures at universities are given in English, and in it you have to do your homework: presentations, research, essays and other interesting creative tasks.
You will need Korean for everyday life in Korea: buy food in the store, pay for transportation, order a dish in a restaurant or cafe, ask to try on a thing in the store, etc. These simple everyday Korean phrases, along with greetings and words of gratitude, learn quickly, and they will not be difficult to master even in a Phrase Book.
If you have already learned Korean, it is even better! If you have a certificate TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean), which is quite high scores, be sure to attach it to all other documents submitted. At a minimum, it will serve in your favor in the selection of international students at the University and, at a maximum, can affect the size of your scholarship.
To enter the a university, a foreign student must speak Korean or English at least at the secondary level and have one of the language certificates with the level of knowledge of the language, such as:
Important! Depending on the educational institution, the admission Committee may request an additional list of documents! Full information on each Korean University you can get from the coordinators of studies in South Korea in our World.uz office.
Education in Korea is paid in both public and private universities. Only the cost of training and additional services differ.
Tuition does not include food, accommodation, entertainment and personal expenses of the student!
These are all approximate average prices, the cost of training depends on the specific University. Our students from Uzbekistan have a stereotype that the more prestigious the University, the more expensive the education. This rule absolutely does not work in South Korea!
For example, Seoul National University will be cheaper than some provincial private universities!
Also, you can learn for free, how? See Scholarships and Grants in South Korea below.
The cost of living and food depends on the city, as well as on the student's personal preferences in housing and food. Before applying, you should make sure that the University will allocate a place for you in the hostel! Most universities do so, but there are cases when the dormitories are crowded or just far from the place of study (even, sometimes, in another city, if the institution has several branches!).
If finances allow, students can rent housing near the place of study. For rent you can rent both an apartment and a house. Usually, several students can add up and rent a large house with all amenities, it is cheaper than renting an apartment or a house separately.
You can eat in the dining room at the University or on your own, in cafes, restaurants, in shops such as 7Eleven, in each such store you will find a designated place for quick snacks.
In most student dormitories you can not cook, and, accordingly, there is no kitchen in the full sense of the word, but throughout the campus there are vending machines with drinks, ice cream, rolls, some semi-finished products that can be brewed with boiling water. On the other hand, canteens are of several types: those in which national food is served, and those in which students are fed "in a European way". In University canteens of the first kind, you can often get any amount of rice for free, and spicy sauerkraut Kim-Chi, and sometimes even broth. So, hungry you are unlikely to stay!
There is no problem with this in South Korea! Sports, music and other Hobbies If you can not imagine your life without, say, constant sports training, competitions or, for example, playing the drum or modeling clay, then most likely you will not only be able to continue to engage in your favorite hobby at the University, but also find like-minded people. Interest groups – or, as they are called in Korean, tonari (동아리)-exist in every University in large numbers! Participation is free, and from time to time tonari participants arrange holidays and even travel together. What can be the theme of tonari ? Anything from Brazilian cuisine to mountaineering or Chinese calligraphy. The only problem you may encounter is a possible language barrier, but it is easily overcome in a like-minded environment.
The transport system of South Korea works as a well-established mechanism, everything is clean, comfortable and completely safe to use. The service staff is extremely polite, ready to help with any question and, in addition, at airports and at major railway stations, and in the subway gradually everything becomes English-speaking.
Buses
Public transport in Korea is very well developed and also very cheap. City buses are difficult for foreigners to use: all ads and inscriptions are only in Korean, so the main modes of transport for tourists are taxis and metro. The way of organizing bus service in each city has its own characteristics, but almost everywhere there are regular buses and Express buses.
Underground
There are metro stations in six cities: Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju and Daejeon. Tickets can be purchased at the regular ticket office, as well as in the vending machines. The names of stations, tables in ticket offices and transition designations are duplicated in English.
The metro map is usually located above the ticket window. Most of the maps are in Korean and in English. Numbers on the side of the station name (for example, 800/900) indicate the fare from this station to the specified one. Also, you can just tell the cashier the name of the desired station, and he will give you the necessary ticket. In the yellow box on the side of the cash register there are maps of the subway, which You can take for free. Some stations do not offer free maps.
Taxi
Taxis in South Korea are many, they are inexpensive, clean and safe. Taxi stands are located in almost all busy points of the city, but the car can be caught just on the street. Certain types of taxis can be ordered by phone, but you need to remember that the fare in special custom cars is higher than in conventional taxis, Many taxi drivers speak English.
In Seoul, there is a unified system of payment in taxis with credit cards and travel cards, which are used in the subway and buses.
Railway transport
Railways are one of the main ways of moving people in South Korea.
Korea national Railways (KORAIL) is the only rail passenger carrier in the country.
Trains of the National railway company connect the main cities of the country. It is better to buy train tickets in advance, especially on Sundays and local holidays (since these days the trains are usually Packed).
The country's main railway line is the Gyeongbu Line, connecting the capital to the country's second largest city, Busan.
Car renting
To rent a car in South Korea, you need to be over 21 years old, have at least a year of driving experience, and present a driver's license and passport with a valid visa. Rental offices are usually located in airports and hotels.
It is recommended to rent a car only if you are traveling in the provinces or on the island of Jeju, in large cities it does not make sense.
Before you travel to another country you need to make health insurance, in case of accidents, so that you can cover the costs of treatment. We make sure to provide medical insurance for each entrant before sending them to study. Do not neglect this important point on the way to your higher education in Korea!
