What matters about language in South Korea
Language of instruction and requirements
A large share of bachelor's programs are taught in Korean and require a TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) certificate — usually level 3 or above depending on the university and major. Many universities offer a preparatory language year for those starting from zero.
The number of fully English-taught programs is growing quickly, especially at the graduate level and in engineering, business and IT — these typically require an international English certificate (IELTS/TOEFL) rather than Korean, though basic Korean makes everyday life considerably easier.
