Busan, Korea's second-largest city and main port, is known for Haeundae Beach, the colourful Gamcheon Culture Village, hillside temples and its famous film festival. With a more relaxed pace than Seoul, it is a pleasant seaside city for learning Korean.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Busan:
Ask NGGlobal about Korean programs at other universities in Busan too.
Language institutes in Korea run four terms a year, and you enrol term by term. A long-term student visa needs at least one term of enrolment, and most students stay 2-4 terms to make clear progress.
Language school fees in Busan depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Applications to university language institutes close a few months before each term starts. You submit your diploma, transcript, bank statement and a copy of your passport, and accepted students receive an admission letter for their visa application.
Because the visa process, the admission letter and your documents all take time, apply at least 3-4 months before your target term. The spring and autumn terms are the most popular.
Turkish citizens can currently enter South Korea visa-free for short tourist visits, but check current requirements such as the electronic travel authorisation (K-ETA) before you travel. Long-term language study requires a D-4 language training visa, applied for at Korea's mission in Turkey with the school's certificate of admission.
Work during language study is limited and needs a permit, so plan your budget without relying on income from work. As your Korean improves, your chances of finding work in cafés, restaurants and tourism grow.
Students in Busan usually stay in campus dormitories or in one-room flats near the universities.
Living costs in Busan are lower than in Seoul, especially rent and food, which suit a student budget.
Busan's metro and buses reach the city's main areas, and the T-money card works in Busan too.
Thanks to its location on Korea's south coast, Busan has milder winters than Seoul, while summers are hot and humid.
Busan Gimhae Airport (PUS) is usually reached from Turkey with connecting flights; alternatively, fly to Seoul and take the KTX to Busan in about 2.5 hours.
Busan does not use daylight saving time, so it is 6 hours ahead of Turkey all year round. When it is 09:00 in Turkey, it is 15:00 in Busan, so keep this in mind when planning online calls.
NGGlobal advisers give students planning a language course in Busan free support with comparing schools, price quotes, accommodation and visa documents.
Busan speaks the Gyeongsang dialect, with a different intonation from Seoul, but language schools teach standard Korean.
About 2.5 hours by KTX high-speed train.
TOPIK is Korea's official Korean proficiency test, accepted by universities and employers in Korea.
Yes. Most language institutes offer dormitory places, and NGGlobal plans your accommodation together with your enrolment.
The Korean alphabet (Hangul) can be learned in a few days, and because Korean, like Turkish, is agglutinative with a similar sentence order, Turkish students have an advantage.
