Korean Language Course

The Korean language course, the King Sejong Institute, at the KCCUK is a social education course that not only teaches the Korean language but also introduces Korean culture to students.

The course includes a wider introduction to all aspects of Korean Culture through the language. Upon completing the course, students will be able to express themselves in Korean on a vast range of topics.

Each course lasts for 3 terms and takes 1 year to complete.

After the pandemic, classes were conducted online until 2023. However, starting from 2024, Sejong 1 class will be conducted in person at KCCUK, while Sejong 2, 3, and 4 classes will be conducted online. Please take note of this information.

Please note that Sejong 1 class will be conducted in person. (There are no plans to conduct it online.)

In-person class - Sejong 1

Online classes - Sejong 2, 3, 4

For students at higher levels, we request you to take a brief level test (Reading, Writing, and Speaking) to confirm that you are suitable for the level you have applied for.
