There is a persistent pursuit, that is, to enter the university of your choice and study the major you want, and there is a firm belief that even if you fail to achieve your wish, you must enter the door of your ideal and dabble in a similar major. When it comes to studying in South Korea, many people will look to the top 500 schools in the QS rankings. However, the fierce level of competition at these institutions undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on applicants.
So, how to stand out from the fierce competition and be successfully admitted to the dream school? The answer may be hidden in those majors that seem to be unpopular and have relatively little competition for admission. Next, let's take a look at what are these easy-to-admit majors?
01
Korea University
As one of the SKY, Korea University is very competitive, and the requirements for origin and language are relatively high. In the face of this situation, we can focus on collaborative majors, such as global language and culture, video culture, etc.
02
Yonsei University
Yonsei University's competitive pressure is as high as that of Korea University, and collaborative majors such as Korean studies, regional studies, and cultural anthropology are also the best choices for us.
03
Sungkyunkwan University
Although Sungkyunkwan University is not as competitive as SKY, as a top university in South Korea, it basically has a level 6 in terms of language requirements, and students who do not reach level 6 can choose East Asian Studies and Fashion Marketing, which are still opportunities compared to other majors.
04
Hanyang University
Hanyang University, as Korea's own "Massachusetts Institute of Technology", is a ceiling-level university in science and engineering. When choosing a major, students who are not very good at their own conditions should avoid popular majors, and can consider popular culture scripting, sociology, cultural anthropology, policy studies, etc.
05
Kyung Hee University
Kyung Hee University is one of the universities with the largest number of international students in China, and the reason is not because Kyung Hee University has a low admission threshold, but because Kyung Hee University is too friendly to Chinese students. Kyung Hee University has set up different programs for students with different levels of Korean language proficiency, such as the Graduate School of Business Administration, the Graduate School of Technical Management, and the Graduate School of Communication, and they can be admitted without language scores.
06
Chuo University
As one of the top universities in South Korea, Chung-Ang University has a high-quality faculty and strong academic research capabilities. In particular, the media major is the ace major of Chung-Ang University, and the graduate school of cutting-edge imaging alone is preferably Korean level 5 or above. In this regard, we can consider unpopular majors, such as cultural studies, advertising, trade logistics, sociology, administration, design, etc.
07
Ewha Womans University
It is the oldest university in Korea and the largest university in the world. Although there are gender restrictions on admissions, it still does not affect the competitiveness of Ewha Womans University. For students who do not have an outstanding level of Korean language, we should avoid popular majors such as education, psychology, and musicology when applying to this university. You can choose economics, public administration, sociology, etc., and Ewha Womans University can also consider collaborative majors such as media arts management, gifted education, and integrated content.
08
Sejong University
Sejong University has become one of the top 500 universities in QS this year, and as a dark horse university, Sejong University is very friendly to international students, offering one-year master's programs, bilingual programs, etc., and the requirements for art students are relatively low, so students with low Korean language proficiency can choose this university.
When applying to Korean universities, we might as well set our sights on these majors that are relatively easy to get into, and we may have unexpected gains. These professions are like gems hidden deep in the forest, waiting to be explored.
