Korean Language Study
Have you ever heard of TOPIK?
TOPIK stands for Test of Proficiency in Korean. If you want to attend a Korean university, TOPIK is the most basic and important certification you need.
The purpose of this test is to guide non-native Korean speakers and assess their Korean language proficiency, which can be beneficial for purposes such as studying abroad, employment etc. Typically, a TOPIK score of level 3 or higher is required for admission to regular university degree programs, while level 4 or higher is necessary for graduation.
