I know that to work legally in Korea, you need a university degree. My question is, is a 3 year degree good enough, or do you need a 4 year degree?? I have looked for this information everywhere, but I can't seem to find anything specific, just that you need a degree... So if anyone can help me that would be great! Thanks everyone!!

DO NOT ask a recruiter or a potential employer that question!!!

Yes it will be fine...If you ask...then maybe it won't be fine...people get confused...

I know a few people over here on 3 year degrees (from North America) and I think a lot of the British degrees are only 3 years...

but to be quite honest I don't know that much about British degrees.
('cept that otherwise educated people can't say this sentence...
I took the car to the bar....)

What is a KAAA (is that like baby speak for poop?kaka) and why are you making a sheep call? (BAAA)

As long as it is a BA, then you're fine. I've brought people over from Australia who had 3yr BA's and it wasn't a problem. I'm sure that you're fine coming from the UK. As long as it is not a 3yr college diploma.

My degree will be from a Canadian university. Forgot to mention that in my original post.

A couple of years ago it seemed like the K government got temporarily anal about it, but it seems to have settled down now.
