Language

Admissions are processed in Korean, and all courses are taught in Korean. We do not have any language requirements, so you do not have to provide your scores on a Korean language proficiency test. However, speaking and understanding Korean at a certain level is essential, allowing you to make the most of your classes, assignments, and exams.
