When it comes to studying in Korea for graduate school, students often ask, "How far in advance do I need to prepare, and when do I start applying?" "Is it too late to apply?" Something like that. Let's talk about the application process for studying in South Korea.
Universities in Korea have 2 semesters a year, and March and September can be new enrollment periods, because there are many things to handle after the course is admitted, so you need to start preparing 6-9 months in advance.

Note: Each school has its own application time, and the application time varies from school to school, and the specific schedule needs to be determined according to the school's latest admissions prospectus.
When applying to study in Korea, we generally don't discuss the concept of the latest application. Because most students have not experienced the whole process of applying for studying abroad, they are not clear about the various problems that may arise in the application process, and if the application time is compressed, it is easy to cause insufficient preparation and lack of materials, which will affect the final admission.
It is recommended that students who have already decided to apply to study in Korea must start preparing as soon as possible after determining their goals!
Korean graduate students have a shorter time to study than domestic graduate students, and they have an advantage in time! Shandong University of Technology Korea Study Abroad Preparatory Program cooperates directly with Korean universities to provide students with services such as application for admission and visa processing, and students can directly apply for admission to Korean universities after meeting the admission requirements.
