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.
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).

I am an international applicant from Yemen interested in pursuing a full undergraduate scholarship in Computer Science or AI starting in Fall 2026.
I have two main questions:
1. Could you please advise when the application period for the fully funded undergraduate scholarship will open for Fall 2026 applicants?
2. Our academic documents (high school diploma and transcripts) will only be ready by around December 2025 — can we still apply if the materials are delayed? And what is your recommendation for applicants in this situation?
We also hope to receive a fully funded scholarship that includes tuition, living allowance, health insurance, and support for travel expenses if possible.
I am applying together with my friend, and we have two main questions:
1. We will not be able to apply during the usual period in September or October 2025. Is there an alternative application period for Fall 2026 applicants?
2. Our academic documents (high school diplomas and transcripts) will only be ready around December 2025 — can we still apply if the materials are delayed? What is your recommendation for applicants in this situation?
We are interested in applying for the fully funded GKS scholarship, including tuition, living allowance, health insurance, and support for travel expenses if possible.
Thank you very much for your assistance and guidance.
One of the fully funded scholarships is the Global Korea Scholarship, and its application period for undergraduate scholars is only in the Autumn. You can check if any other scholarships or universities that have Spring admission will cover enough for you; however, it's not always the case for undergraduates.
Required documents also depend on the scholarships or university you choose to apply to. Some allow later certificate admission, some don't.
