Duration

The 2026 guide lists four seasonal terms. Each level is 10 weeks and the guide labels it 200 hours; its weekday timetable shows four 50-minute lessons from 09:00 to 12:50. It does not define how the 200 hours are counted. Levels 1–6; about 20 students per class. Advanced courses may be offered based on demand.

Entry requirements

The 2026 guide states general eligibility as a high-school graduate, expected graduate or equivalent. Its document list differs by visa status and country. For Vietnamese applicants without a visa, it lists family-registration or residence verification, birth certificate, parents' IDs, legalized high-school diploma and transcripts, parents' employment and income certificates, photos, passport copy and a translation certificate. It also lists a KRW 8 million or higher study-funds deposit confirmation with specified payment-suspension terms. A tuberculosis X-ray is listed only for dormitory applicants; TOEFL or TOPIK results are required only if needed. Applicants from other countries and applicants who already hold a visa have separate lists. Confirm the current checklist, translation/legalization and financial-document rules with the Institute. Admission does not guarantee a visa or visa approval.

Course fees

The 2026 guide lists KRW 2,300,000 tuition per 20-week semester (two 10-week courses); textbooks are not included. It also lists insurance at KRW 80,000 for about six months and says the amount may change under the insurance contract. These are guide figures, not confirmation of current charges; ask the Institute for the current fee schedule.

Application fee

KRW 60,000, non-refundable (listed in the 2026 guide; confirm the current amount and payment instructions).

Intake

The 2026 guide lists Spring 3 March–12 May, Summer 18 May–28 July, Fall 1 September–13 November, and Winter 16 November–20 January 2027. For applicants with a visa, the listed 2026 Winter document-submission period ended 16 October and announcement/payment date was 30 October. As of 31 October those dates have passed; current places and whether the Winter course will proceed are unverified. The guide lists no 2026 Summer or Winter submission dates for applicants without a visa. Ask the Institute for the next intake.

Accommodation

The 2026 guide lists these dormitory rates, not live availability or current quotes: Solmui men's double room KRW 1,400,000 for 16 weeks; Garam men's/women's four-person room KRW 1,300,000 or double room KRW 1,600,000 for 16 weeks; Solbit men's/women's double room KRW 1,850,000 for 25 weeks, including summer and winter breaks.
