Hello everyone,

I am currently serving in the Royal Navy, I have 3 years left and want to live in Korea when I've finished. My wife currently teaches in Korea and that's what I want to do.

However I know you need a degree to do that so what degree subjects are accepted by the Korean immigration service to teach?

Any help you could give would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Andy

Any subject is fine. Major in basket weaving, as long as it's a 4 year degree in it then you'll be fine. Well, I don't know how that stuff works with the U.K. and such, I guess they have 3 year ones I assume those are fine too heh.

Basically have a bachelors degree.

The subject you read doesn't matter. All that matters is the degree must be a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution.

I have a teaching degree in History, but am teaching English here. Like the above people said, as long as you have a four year degree and love kids, you should find a job quite easily.

Degree in Security Intelligence here.
Friend has a degree in Physics.

It's difficult to find an ACTUAL Teaching or ESL or Education degree.

it has to be a 4 year degree?

No, many degrees in the U.K. are 3 year courses (like mine) and they are accepted by Korea.

The 3 year one is more intensive. 4 years has so much time for reflection and doing vac jobs that you practically forget what you were
studying.

"Four year degree" is essentially a verbal shorthand for baccalaureate degree.
