Our Selected Universities

At IKE (Integrated Korea Education) we select universities based on several factors such as the availability of the departments, cities, education quality ranking, specialized programs such as GKS-G and GKS-U and an applicant’s academic pursuit. So, before choosing a university, students are highly advised to consider the major/department they are intending to apply, and the probability of getting the acceptance. Some universities are extremely competitive and therefore requires a strategic approach, noteworthy academic background, language proficiency and a set of meaningful extracurricular works of the applicants. We deeply examine an applicant’s overall academic records, financial aspects, language proficiency and other applicable certifications into consideration, and give them the most ideal option. Important to note that, interview plays a vital role in the top university’s admission process. Some university ask for 60% marks at the interview to get to the next evaluation process (before admission) while some university admission entirely depends on the performance of the interview, excluding the academic records. Considering the needs and the strategies of those universities, we prepare our students accordingly and takes up to 6 practice interviews based on university interview questionnaires. Below is a list of our preferred universities we are working with the most success.
