K-pop and K-dramas
For many students, songs and dramas are the first taste of Korea. Some go on to study music, media or performing arts here; many start by learning Korean at a university language institute.

Why Korea?
Most students first fall for something — a song, a street, a dish. Here is where each of those can lead when you plan your studies.
Seoul street culture
Hongdae's buskers and live-music bars, Myeongdong's shops, Seongsu's old workshops turned into cafés — each a short subway ride from dozens of universities.
Korean food
Tteokbokki from a street stall, a convenience store on every corner, campus cafeterias built for student budgets. If food is your passion, Korean universities also teach it.
University campus life
Clubs, festivals, dormitories and an international office that helps with your visa. Compare universities by tuition, scholarships and how many students from your country already study there.
Tradition next to the modern
Palaces and hanok villages stand beside glass towers. On a free afternoon you can walk from a 600-year-old palace to a brand-new shopping street.
Cafés and everyday life
Cafés are where students study, meet friends and often work part-time. On a D-2 visa, part-time work is allowed only with permission and within limited hours — check the rules first.
