Why Study in Korea?

Q1: Is it hard to adjust to life in Korea as an international student?

Like any new country, there's an adjustment period. However, many international students find Korea to be very welcoming. Universities offer support programs, and the strong international student community helps with cultural adaptation. Learning some basic Korean phrases significantly eases daily life.

Q2: Can I get a job in Korea after completing my studies?

Yes, many international students find employment in Korea after graduation, especially those with strong academic backgrounds and Korean language proficiency (TOPIK Level 3 or higher is often beneficial). Korea's robust economy and global companies offer diverse opportunities, particularly in tech and business.

Hi! My name is Luisa and I'm from Colombia!

I'm a Pharmacist currently living in Colombia, and my dream is to do a master's degree in biotechnology in South Korea! I'm interested not only because SK has cutting-edge technology in the biopharmaceutical sector but also because I love Korean culture. I'm also a graduate student from the King Sejong Institute, so my experience of 10+ years learning Korean made me dream more about going to Korea and pursuing my dreams!

I came here to find advice since I have so many questions about GKS but no one who can actually give me a guide.
