Study inyour way.
On a scholarship or self-funded, KoreaAdmit finds the universities, scholarships, and the real path you qualify for, in 60 seconds.
Four of the tools we're building.
Each one solves something that ate weeks of my own application year, whether you're funded or paying your own way. The other three live on the platform page.
- 01 · QuizLive
A branching first question routes you by how you'll fund Korea, scholarship or self-funded. Then a dozen quick questions build a personalized plan: realistic university targets, your real costs and financial proof, a straight read on admission, and a 30-day action plan.
Take the quiz - 02 · Cost
An honest total: tuition, housing, food, insurance, visa fees, flights, by city, by program type, by lifestyle. Currently no one does this well, and parents need the real number, not the brochure number.
- 03 · Tracker
Pick your target schools. Get a timeline view and automated email and push reminders at the intervals that actually matter, so nothing slips while you're juggling everything else.
- 04 · Odds
Country quota data, your GPA, your language level, your degree level, plugged into a realistic probability range. The thing GKS applicants spend hours guessing at, in one place.

You don't need a scholarship to study in Korea.
Most international students in Korea pay their own way, and it is a normal, legitimate path. Here is the real cost and exactly what you need to prove for the student visa, no guessing.
- Tuition from about ₩4M a year
- Financial proof, demystified
- D-2 visa, step by step
Free guides, no account needed. Take the 60-second quiz for university targets and costs matched to you.
The real all-in cost
Roughly ₩16M to ₩30M a year before any scholarship, tuition plus living and fees. We break it down by city and program type.
Financial proof for the visa
For the D-2 visa you typically show about ₩20M (Seoul) or ₩16M (provinces) in a bank account, held for around a month before you apply.
Affordable, English-taught options
National and provincial universities keep tuition low, and many programs are taught fully in English. We help you shortlist by budget.
