Suwon, south of Seoul, is known for the UNESCO-listed Hwaseong Fortress and as the home of Samsung's headquarters. Linked to Seoul by metro, it offers a calmer, cheaper life while staying close to the capital.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Suwon:
Korean programs at other universities in Suwon and language institutes in Seoul are also among the options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 3-4 weeks for a short culture program, 2-3 terms (about 6-9 months) for everyday communication and 4-6 terms for an academic level.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language academies can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language courses run in four terms a year: spring (March), summer (June), autumn (September) and winter (December). Short summer and winter programs are mostly held in July and January.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: the visa exemption for short courses and a D-4 visa for long programs. NGGlobal helps you choose the right visa and prepare your documents.
Working on the visa exemption is prohibited. Students on a D-4 visa can usually work limited part-time hours after studying for a set period and with permission from the immigration office; the rules depend on attendance and Korean level.
Campus dormitories and one-room flats are common in Suwon, with lower rents than in Seoul.
Living costs in Suwon are lower than in Seoul, especially rent and food, which suit a student budget.
Suwon is linked to the capital by Seoul Metro Line 1 and the Suin-Bundang line, and buses are common in the city.
Suwon has four distinct seasons: summers are hot, humid and rainy (with the monsoon in July and August), and winters cold and dry. Cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves bring colour to the city.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Seoul Incheon Airport (ICN) take about 10-11 hours; the airport bus from Incheon to Suwon takes about 1.5 hours.
Suwon 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 Suwon, so keep this in mind when planning online calls.
