  The Korean government provides various study abroad and employment-related information for international students through the Study in Korea website.

Regular programs are offered in four terms annually: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Students can enroll according to their preferred start date. For exact schedules, please refer to the specific language institute's website.

Many students aiming for university admission in Korea enroll in these programs, which provide systematic learning across speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Regular courses typically consist of 20 hours of classes per week for about 10 weeks, totaling 200 hours per course.

Programs are designed by proficiency level, allowing tailored learning. After completing a course, students can advance to the next level based on an evaluation. Some language institutes offer monthly cultural experiences, including regional tours and traditional Korean cultural activities. Most classes are held in the morning, but larger language institutes may also offer afternoon or evening classes.

A passport is required for application, so it is recommended to have it issued in advance.
