Dankook University provides Korean language courses for international exchange/visiting students at various proficiency levels, including introductory, elementary, intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced. We highly recommend enrolling in at least one Korean language course to fully immerse yourself in Korean culture and enhance their daily live experience in Korea!

Intensive Korean Language Courses
  • There is no level test required for taking introductory or elementary level courses. Students are encouraged to select classes based on their own judgment and may refer to the syllabus if needed. Taking a level test is required for students wishing to take intermediate and advanced level courses only.
  • Students have the flexibility to choose one, two, three, or all four courses at the same time, depending on their needs. Additionally, students can opt to take courses at a different level if they wish. However, Students cannot take the same course at a different level. For example, students cannot take both the Introductory Korean Reading and the Elementary Korean Reading at the same time.
  • The introductory and elementary level courses are offered to exchange/visiting students only, while intermediate and advanced level courses are also offered to other international degree-seeking students at Dankook University.
  • The detailed list of the Korean language courses are included in the list of courses offered in English in the previous page.
