At present, with the continuous development of economy, there are many students who apply to study in Korea. As a developed capitalist country in Asia, Korea naturally needs a lot of expenses. The following is a detailed introduction of the daily expenses of studying in Korea in 2122, which I compiled. Welcome to read it for reference!

A detailed introduction to the daily expenses of studying in South Korea in 2122

Guarantee fund

Before studying in South Korea, you should submit a deposit certificate, which is a guarantee for students to live and study in South Korea, and the amount cannot be lower than the sum of the tuition fees of the school you study in South Korea in the next year and the living expenses in the area where the school is located.

the general guarantee money ranges from RMB 111,111 to RMB 141,111. Freeze for at least 3 months (the specific time depends on the school). Of course, this money is stored in your own account, which is only temporarily frozen. Generally, it can be used after 3 months.

language college fees

To study in Korea, you must first study in a Korean language college. Ordinary China students can apply for a Korean university after studying in a Korean language college for 1 years and reaching the level of Band 4 in Korea. Generally, the tuition fee of Language Institute is about 7511-11111 RMB per semester, with a semester of 3 months and 4 semesters a year. The annual cost is about 31,111-41,111 RMB. Of course, this is the cost of the regional language institute in Seoul, South Korea, and the local language institute is about 21,111 to 31,111 years.

undergraduate tuition

Korean universities are divided into public universities and private universities. There are about 51 public universities and more than 311 private universities. Whether it is a public university or a private university, its diploma is recognized by the Ministry of Education of China.

Private schools are generally supported by some large enterprises or consortia, with relatively strong teachers. Generally speaking, undergraduate students in national universities pay about 31,111 yuan a year, but there are fewer scholarships. The annual tuition fee for undergraduates in private universities is about 51,111 to 61,111 RMB.

Although the tuition fees of private universities are twice as high as those of public universities, due to the support of consortia, there are many scholarships in private universities in Korea, which provide 31%-75% tuition reduction for foreign students, and even 1,111% scholarships.

Special courses

There is also a special graduate school in South Korea, called GSIS, which is a business graduate course offered by the best universities in South Korea. Most of the courses are taught in English. These schools include Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, Kyung Hee University, Asian University, Ewha Women's University, Hanyang University (some of which are taught in Korean), Xijiang University, Central University and many other famous Korean universities, and they mainly specialize in international cooperation, international relations, international trade and finance. The tuition fee of GSIS is relatively high, about 61,111-71,111 a year, but you can apply without a Korean foundation. It is a good choice for students who don't want to learn Korean but want to study business graduate students in prestigious schools.

Accommodation

In terms of accommodation, if you rent a house outside, the accommodation in Seoul is about 2,111 ~ 3,111 yuan per month, and it is relatively cheaper in local cities, about 1,511 ~ 2,111 yuan per month. Students can also choose to live in the dormitory of the school (2-4 people). Relatively speaking, school accommodation will be cheaper. The monthly rent is between 811-1611 RMB, and some schools have included meals in their accommodation fees.

Meal cost

Let's talk about meal cost again. The school canteen provides students with an economical and nutritious diet. A meal is about 15-21 RMB (1811-2511 won), and the dishes are different every day. If students go out to eat, the Korean food in ordinary restaurants is 5111-6111 won (that is, between RMB 31 and 36 yuan).

Main scholarships for studying in Korea

1. Scholarships for Korean universities

Many Korean universities will provide a variety of scholarships for international students, and most of them will provide 31-111% tuition reduction for outstanding international students.

2. Government Scholarship

This is a national scholarship selection project invited by the Korean government according to the Korea-China Education Exchange Agreement signed by the Korean and Chinese Ministries of Education. Every year, the Korea Agency for the Promotion of International Education (directly affiliated to the Korean Ministry of Education) finally selects up to 51 winners from the candidates who go to Korea to study master's or doctoral courses and research courses (6 months to 1 years).

3. National Scholarship

After park geun-hye, the new president of South Korea, took office, the most important measure was to drastically reduce the tuition fees of college students, so that more students can receive higher and better education. Of course, this policy is aimed at all Korean college students, including overseas students.

Secondly, South Korea has set up scholarships with different levels and quotas for international students to motivate more outstanding students.

The application for the national scholarship needs to provide relevant personal certificates, and it can also be won by the application submitted by the school department. If you can get a recommendation letter from a professional professor, you will have a great chance to get a full national scholarship.

4. K21(Brain Korea 21) Scholarship

This is a major project undertaken by the Korean government to improve the research environment in various universities. From 1999 to 2115, the Korean government will allocate 1.4 trillion won (about 41 million US dollars) for this project, mainly to improve the living and research conditions of graduate students in various universities. In other words, give them scholarships.

Because it is shared by many schools, it is impossible for each student to get a lot of money, but it can basically solve the problem of eating. Take my school as an example. Every student is funded by BK21, so every student (Korean students and international students) will earn about 211,111 won every month (doctoral students are a little more than master students).

5. Scholarships provided by the Foundation

The Korea Scholarship Foundation provides special scholarships for international students who are interested in becoming the future of their research fields. Generally speaking, this scholarship is only for outstanding students pursuing postgraduate courses, and they can apply from the second semester. The bonus includes all tuition fees reduction and exemption, plus a bonus of 2 million won for one year.

6. Scholarships from society and enterprises

Universities will also receive many donations from the society, especially similar to European and American university foundations. These funds come from donations from social people such as alumni associations and the support of large domestic corporate consortia in Korea.

Generally, the amount of such scholarships is very high, but the scholarship evaluation will be more comprehensive and strict, and there will be corresponding personnel and judges to evaluate the applicants. Relevant personnel will be qualified to evaluate the applicants' academic ability and potential, and use this as a standard to evaluate whether the level of international students meets the scholarship award standards.
