Korean Job Discussion Forums

So I've got an undergrad, but I was wanting to take some classes in Seoul on a part-time basis.

I was wondering if any universities (hopefully Yonsei since I'm right nearby) allow foreigners to take part time classes, and if they have a wide range of classes in English available.

I would like to take like maybe an intermediate accounting course and an intermediate Korean course as well.

I will have an F-6 Visa soon, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Intermediate Korean class can be attended as part of the language institute of the university without any need to apply to the university.

Part-time coursework might be possible, but I seriously question the usefulness of doing this without it being part of a full degree. I am all for studying with the purpose of gaining knowledge, but reading the course's book will also be very informative. Perhaps looking at a part-time degree or a way to transfer your credit to a university in your home country?

It should be much easier for you to take part time classes since you dont' rely on a E2/D2 visa. It is not common for students to take courses without being the part of a degree program, so you better try signing up for a masters degree. In my experience, many of the master degrees lets you pick courses quite freely, and I'm sure you'll be able to attend Korean classes.

I know several Korean part time students, but I have so far not met any foreign part time students. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible. I would advice you to call contact the uni you are interested in and ask directly, or just send in an application.

I'd recommend you look into Sungkyunkwan.

I finished my MBA there.

I'd look into specifically a program called "Asia MBA" its all in English.
They also offer a Master's in Management for half the time and money.

It's fully accredited, too.
