Spring 2026 admissions in South Korea are actively ongoing!

Korean universities traditionally open applications very early and close them early as well. That’s why submitting your documents as soon as possible is the smartest choice — otherwise many TOP universities fill their quotas fast, and applicants may miss their chance.

The main intake for the spring semester continues until the end of December 2025. Requirements are quite achievable: IELTS 5.5 minimum (no section below 5.5), TOEFL 75+, and TOPIK from Level 3. However, for high-ranking universities, having IELTS 6.5+ and a GPA of 85%+ provides a strong advantage.

Korea offers wide scholarship opportunities, where students can receive 30% to 100% funding depending on their results. From our experience, some students have even secured full 4-year scholarships at partner universities. Tuition fees vary by program and institution, averaging $1400–$6000 per semester.

Average monthly living costs in 2025 are around: 550–900$ in Seoul and 350–600$ in other cities. Dormitories, food, and transportation are generally student-friendly and affordable.

If you’re aiming for quality education, an international environment, and strong scholarship opportunities in Korea, now is the best time to apply. The earlier you submit — the better your chances!
