Study in Korea and the Scholarships available.

It has been a while that I am in Korea and through all these years - I was and still am studying. I studied Korean language at Kyunghee University (http://www.kyunghee.ac.kr/). In my very first year in Korea, I got a fullscholarship at Korea University in their Masters program in Korean Studies. I instead chose to study Asian Studies Program and then International Studies/Political Science.
Anyone who is interested in Korean language and culture or to study for any disciplines in science, technology, arts and humanities - I would recommend the following websites. I am sure that you can find something that suits your credentials.
The websites below offers hundreds of options for researchers and prospective students in 11 different languages:

My second recommendation would be NIIED-offering undergraduate, graduate and post graduate opportunities with full cover including a 750$ /month stipent.

Korea Foundation's support of Korean Studies overseas can be found in detail at the website below:
Some of the other universities that one can check out for sure include:
These websites have a lot of information to persue ones' golas and dream.

  1. Hi Sarah,
    I'm thinking of taking Korean Language Course at Sogang starting from winter semester 2011. Do you know is there any scholarship available for this?

    I have taken my degree in Information system way back in year 2000 and I'm really interested to pursue Korean language however I need scholarship for this.

    Could you kindly help me?
    my email zemoneko@gmail.com.

    Thank you!

  2. Hi Zarina,

    If you are interested in Korean Language program only, particularly a scholarship, then you must visit Korea Foundation Website. There is a scholarship for Korean Language. One has to be in Korean Studies in their countries of residence. Otherwise another option is for a scholarship in KKorean Language and Culture (MA Level degree program for 2 years). You may apply in that!YOu can even apply at Sogang Graduate School's "East Asian Studies program"...Not just that you will be able to learn Korean but will get an extra degree too!
    Let me know what you think!
