Korean universities admit twice a year: March (Spring) and September (Fall). Language institutes run every quarter.

How to decide

  • March intake: apply roughly September to November of the previous year
  • September intake: apply roughly April to June
  • Language route: quarterly entries in March, June, September, December

If your documents or TOPIK are not ready, targeting the next intake is smarter than rushing a weak file.
