Q: Can I do a degree in Korea while studying mainly in English?
A: Some universities have programmes or tracks with significant English instruction - but requirements vary a lot by university and department. The safest approach is to shortlist candidates using official portals, then verify the exact language-of-instruction and entry requirements on the programme page.
TL;DR (2 minutes)
- Start here (official): Study in Korea - Plan (main)
- Build a shortlist sheet first (5–10 programmes).
- Verify on the official programme page: language of instruction (fully English vs mixed), required English scores (if any), deadlines/intake, tuition/housing.
- Visa/stay overview: Study in Korea - Student Visa and Stay Status
