Study in South Korea

The #1 destination for Vietnamese students — affordable, scholarship-rich

South Korea is the most-chosen destination for Vietnamese students: a modern education system, many universities ranked among Asia's best, generous scholarships, affordable costs and proximity to Vietnam. Part-time work during study, post-graduation job-seeking rights and the pull of Korean culture (K-culture) make it a top choice. VNIS guides you from Korean-language courses to Bachelor's and Master's degrees.

Why Korea

Why study in South Korea?

South Korea is now the top choice for Vietnamese students, thanks to a modern education system, many universities ranked among Asia's best and a rich scholarship ecosystem — from the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) to university awards — that meaningfully lowers the cost of study.

Living costs are far more reasonable than in the West; students may work part-time during study and stay to seek employment after graduation; and the deepening Vietnam–Korea economic ties (with many Korean groups investing in Vietnam) open clear career opportunities. Geographic and cultural closeness (K-culture) also helps Vietnamese students settle in quickly.
