Approach

Getting an international student into a Korean university is rarely a matter of a standard document checklist.

Requirements depend on the university, program, level of study, citizenship and previous education. So we start with your situation, not with a list.

  1. 1

    We review your situation

    Your background, goals and options.

  2. 2

    We shortlist options

    Universities and programs that fit you.

  3. 3

    We build a strategy

    A step-by-step admission plan.

We go beyond publicly available information: we follow changes in admission cycles, read official materials in Korean, and check requirements directly with universities when needed.
