Work While You Study (Limited)
International students are allowed to work part-time in South Korea (up to 20 hours per week during semesters and unlimited during vacations), helping them earn extra income and gain experience while studying.
Health Benefits for International Students
All international students are required to enroll in South Korea’s National Health Insurance system, giving them access to affordable and high-quality healthcare services.
