01Certification status
Whether the institution holds Education Ministry certification, and what that means for visa processing at the embassy.
02Visa issuance record
How the university's international applications have actually fared. A strong brand with a weak issuance record helps nobody.
03Regional visa scheme
Whether the university sits in a region operating a local visa scheme, which changes both requirements and processing.
04Language of instruction
Which programmes genuinely run in English, and which list English but teach in Korean from the second semester.
05Support on the ground
What the international office actually does once a student arrives — and how far it is from our Busan office if something goes wrong.
