FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answering the most common questions when choosing to study in Korea with the IKA system

1. Should I choose a school in the Seoul area or surrounding provinces?

Studying in Seoul offers a dynamic living experience, convenient transportation, and many part-time job opportunities. However, living costs will be about 20-30% higher than surrounding provinces like Gyeonggi or Busan. If you want to save costs while still ensuring educational quality, schools in surrounding provinces are a great choice trusted by many IKA students.

2. What are the admission requirements for TOP 1% Direct Visa schools?

To enter TOP 1% schools, students typically need a high school GPA of 7.5 or higher, a household registration book with no illegally residing relatives, a very low absence rate in high school, and transparent family financial proof. These schools have a student absconding rate of less than 1%, so profile screening is very strict.

3. What is the average tuition fee of Universities in Korea?

Tuition varies depending on the school system and major: National/Public universities are around 2,000,000 - 4,000,000 KRW/semester. Private universities are about 3,000,000 - 6,000,000 KRW/semester. Engineering, Arts, and Medicine majors usually have higher tuition fees than Social Sciences & Humanities.

4. Is it mandatory to live in the Dormitory in the first year?

Most Korean universities require international students to mandatorily stay in the Dormitory for at least the first 6 months (1 semester) so the school can easily manage security and help students acclimatize to the culture. After this period, you can completely apply to move out and rent a room with friends.

5. Where can I find information about foreign language scholarships?

You can track directly on each school's card on this website or contact the IKA team. The majority of schools offer automatic admission scholarships based on TOPIK: TOPIK 3 reduces 30% of tuition, TOPIK 4 reduces 50%, and TOPIK 6 can be 100% exempt from the first semester's tuition.
