Yonsei University Korean Language Institute

Overview

Yonsei’s Korean Language Institute in Seoul offers a university-based route for systematic Korean study. Its regular programme suits learners planning several months of study or preparing for an academic goal. The institute has a level sequence and separate morning and afternoon streams, so check placement and course timing before arranging accommodation. The institute’s regular route suits students who want a university-based progression over repeated terms. Its full-time calendar and level structure are important for planning, especially if your goal requires several terms. The Seoul programme has both morning and afternoon schedules, and the morning stream is assigned in order of completed tuition payment after admission. A learner who needs a particular daily timetable should check availability before paying for a room. Use the institute’s term calendar, rather than a generic short-course calendar, to plan travel and housing.

Fees

For the 2027 academic year, one Regular Program term is KRW 1,960,000 and the non-refundable application fee is KRW 130,000. The combined amount is KRW 2,090,000 before textbooks and housing. The school describes automatic group coverage for foreign students. Check any separate coverage needs and the number of terms you need to pay for. This is a ten-week term example. The published application and tuition amounts are separate. For a single 2027 term, tuition accounts for KRW 1,960,000 of the KRW 2,090,000 study charge before books. The application fee is non-refundable. Confirm what must be paid when you accept admission, especially if applying for more than one term or requesting a particular session. Yonsei issues the student ID after admission and tuition payment, so housing may need to be arranged later. The residence calendar and room type determine the price. Request a dated housing quote and keep deposits and other living costs separate from tuition.

Accommodation

The institute describes university dormitory applications after admission and tuition payment, once a student ID is issued. Its guidance also identifies Episode Sinchon Campus as a separate option. Ask for current room availability, lease dates, deposits and meals. Align the move-in and move-out dates with the ten-week term. The institute’s guidance says access to the dormitory application starts the day after the student ID is issued. Check the application opening date and room availability. Episode Sinchon is an off-campus alternative with separate dates and room categories. Confirm whether the contract includes the full term.
