Regular Program

Regular The Regular Program is designed for foreigners and overseas

Koreans who are interested in Korea, Korean language,
Program and Korean culture and would like to study Korean for 3
months or more. This course is good for people who wish
to attend college or graduate school in Korea, people who
would like to get a job in Korea, people studying Korean
as a hobby, etc. The majority of students who study at the
Korean Language Institute apply for this program, and every
semester an average of 1,600 students from approximately
60 different countries study Korean in this program.
Students also have the opportunity to meet others from a
variety of different countries and learn about other cultures.

Each semester of the Regular Program is 10 weeks long

and consists of 200 hours. There are four semesters of the
Regular Program each year. The Regular Program consists of
A Course, which is held in the morning, and C Course, which
is held in the afternoon. The Online class(D) course, only for
morning will be provided.

The Regular Program (A, C, D Course) is designed to match

the different levels of the TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in
Korean.). It takes about one year and six months for a
student to begin at Level 1 and complete Level 6.
