Study in South Korea

Situated on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, South Korea is a powerhouse of Eastern Asia, one that is akin to Hong Kong or Singapore. Its only land border is with North Korea. The two Koreas have an interesting relationship. The country also borders the Yellow Sea to the west, the Korea Strait to the south and the Sea of Japan to the east. Even though it only physically borders one other country, Japan and China are both near neighbors.

Perhaps due to its relative geographical isolation, South Korea has developed a culture like no other, one with which the world is currently obsessed thanks to the likes of Black Pink and BTS. Traditional Korean food is simultaneously making a name for itself across the world. Brands like Samsung and Hyundai also make South Korea a truly global country.

It is the booming tech industry and its global culture that makes South Korea an ideal study abroad destination. If you’re looking to take courses in areas like economics, business or IT, then South Korea is rapidly becoming a go-to place. In addition, South Korea ranks consistently high as a study abroad country in Asia, especially when it comes to accessing higher quality teaching.
