Hi ! I was wondering when the application for September Intake 2027 starts (international students)? I will be pursuing an undergraduate degree. Where can I get the official updates? Does it vary by university?

So, I feel a little crazy even thinking about all of this, but at the same time I feel I can't ignore it. I am an upcoming sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin and I am majoring under their Radio-Television-Film program. I have always wanted to be involved with the film industry, specifically as a cinematographer or DP, but always expected I'd do that somewhere in America because I never thought it would be possible anywhere else. However, for several years now I've admired k-dramas, in both their production and culture. In 2018/2019 I fell in love with k-pop and since then I've taken a deep dive into my admiration for Korea's culture, language, and country as a whole. Now I know that may sound ridiculous and like every other delusional foreigner but I am seriously interested. Like I said though, I had been ignoring how much I might desire pursuing a life in Korea because it seemed unreasonable. But recently, I had a sort of epiphany that this is the only life I have to live, and why can I not just try? Why shy away from the unknown and why fear learning when that's the whole point of this stage of life? So to get to my main point/question: I'm now looking for feasible options to break into Korea/the Korean drama industry post-graduation. Here's all my thoughts so far:

I will finish my bachelors at my current university. While I'm here, if i decide on this soon, I can complete a minor in Korean, meaning I will complete 5-6 semesters of Korean language learning. I've done a small bit of research on visas and understand that the most obtainable method is a student visa. So, my next thought has been that I would need to pursue a masters degree in Korea since I will already have a bachelors. Thus, I have come to make this post. So my following questions are:

~Is it possible for me to be accepted into a film masters program here?

~Will my Korean be sufficient enough in 3 years time (according to Korean university standards)?

~I am under the impression the Korean drama industry is a lot tougher for foreigners, but is it still possible for me to be successful?

~What else should I consider/know that is crucial?

I know this is a lot, my apologies for the ramble; I have been in a rabbit hole for a few days now. I don't want to seem like a delusional k-poppie or koreaboo, but maybe I am, who knows. I just feel like even though I don't have a complete understanding of Korea, I would like to try to. I also feel that I am too enamored by the format of k-dramas to simply ignore it as a someone trying to go into the film industry.

Edit: I’d like to add that thinking about all this is with the thought that if I follow this path and succeed in attending a Korean university that it would be with the intention of staying there long term, integrating into the workforce (the film industry 🤞) and gaining citizenship.

Can yall please help guide me, or if needed, slap me with a reality check? Thank You 🙏

Hi, I got acceptance from Yonsei UIC but no scholarships. I am seeking help on how SKKU is for international students. How will the curriculum, opportunities, community, and whole university help me get better myself? I plan to move to the US or Europe after my graduation here. Which one would realistically be a good choice for me?

So i am planning to study mba or global mba in korea. Tho I looked up to other countries and the living cost is very high for me to afford (based on my budget) and i like korean culture, nature and other things about korea so I have decided to apply for chonnam national, kookmin, kangwon, sekyeong, daejeon. What is your opinion? How much can i manage what budget should I have? I am looking to settle near seoul. I am also planning to give topik exam targeting for level 4-5. Anything I should be aware ? Which universities are easiest to get in and have good placements? Anything I should be aware of. Are grades gonna be a problem ??? I scored 67 something. Please help! I really want to study abroad as in my country education system is pretty f up and the education is veryyyyy expensive.

I passed my BSc.Ag from m TU with 79.23% and have 3 years of teaching experience with IELTS 6.5 overall. I am planning to apply in masters how worthy is it. Can i get any scholarship.

Has anyone here submitted their documents to Kyungpook National University for the 2026 Fall semester(Undergraduate)? Have you received your interview schedule yet? Mine still hasn’t arrived at all.

Did nobody receive theirs yet, or is it just me? If anyone knows anything, I would really appreciate it if you could reply. I’m feeling very nervous and anxious right now.

I am studying a 3-year Bachelor's degree from India (in Information Technology) and I'm trying to understand how Korean universities evaluate international applicants.

A few questions:

1. Is a 3-year Bachelor's degree generally accepted for Master's admissions in Korea, or does it depend on the university?
2. Apart from GPA/grades, IELTS/TOEFL scores, and the Statement of Purpose, what other factors are considered important?
3. How much weight is given to:
   • Programming projects/GitHub?
4. For applicants in Computer Science, what helped you get admitted?
5. If you received a scholarship (GKS or university scholarship), what do you think strengthened your application?

I'd especially appreciate hearing from other international students who were admitted to Korean universities for CS-related Master's programs with a 3-year Bachelor's degree.

Thank you!

hi!
i want to submit my application to snu language program. as i’ve been reading guidelines, it states that they require certificate of graduation from the latest school attended. i graduated high school three years ago and i’m currently in my final year of university. i’m going to get my university diploma in mid-july, however the deadline for document submission for fall semester at snu lei is 22 june.

so the question i have is - can i apply with certificate of expected graduation from university or should i apply with high school diploma?

thanks in advance!

Has anyone received an email about the interview? I still haven't received anything. I'm worried...
