Pohang, on Korea's east coast, is a seaside city known for its steel industry and research universities such as POSTECH. With Homigot, one of the first places in Korea to see the sunrise, and markets famous for fresh seafood, it offers a calm and authentic Korean experience.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Pohang. Korean programs at Pohang's universities and language courses for international students are among the options.
Short summer and winter programs in Pohang last 3-4 weeks. In regular programs each term is about 10 weeks and matches one level; universities usually ask for TOPIK level 3-4, so from beginner level we recommend a plan of 1-1.5 years.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the student visa and health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
University language institutes in Korea usually start new terms in March, June, September and December. Applications close about 2-3 months before each term, so we recommend planning at least 4 months ahead.
A D-4 visa application usually requires the school's certificate of admission, proof of funds, your diploma and passport. After arriving in Korea you must apply for an alien registration card (ARC) within 90 days.
Working without permission can lead to serious penalties such as visa cancellation and deportation, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Most students in Pohang stay in campus dormitories, and affordable one-room flats are also available in the city centre.
Living costs in Pohang are much lower than in Korea's big cities, and campus dormitories and cheap restaurants ease the budget.
Buses serve Pohang, and the KTX line reaches Seoul in about 2.5 hours.
Thanks to its location on Korea's south coast, Pohang has milder winters than Seoul, while summers are hot and humid.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Seoul Incheon Airport (ICN) take about 10-11 hours; the KTX from Seoul to Pohang takes about 2.5 hours.
Pohang 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 Pohang, so keep this in mind when planning online calls.
