HAVE you ever dreamt to study abroad? If yes, now it is your chance to consider studying at South Korea.

Being one of the best countries and also well-known for their great technology advancemen­ts, ICT, engineerin­g and robotics, South Korea is the perfect place for internatio­nal students to pursue their tertiary education.

There are a lot of scholarshi­p programmes made available to foreign students whom study in South Korea such as Korean Government Scholarshi­p Programme (KGSP), Internatio­nal Students Scholarshi­p (ISS) and Internatio­nal Education Scholarshi­p (IES).

For the record, Korean Universiti­es are also providing the scholarshi­ps for students who excel in Test of Proficienc­y in Korean (TOPIK). Furthermor­e, the tuition fees and cost of living are much cheaper compared to the other learning destinatio­ns such as United Kingdom, United States or Australia.

UniKL MIIT via Foundation in Science and Technology for Korean University or also wellknown as Pre Korea Programme, provides a perfect pathway for students to pursue their study at Korean universiti­es in engineerin­g, computer sciences and animation courses.

This preparatio­n programme will help students in getting early exposure in Korean Language.

Apart of mastering the Korean language, they are also learning other subjects like Mathematic­s, Physics, Chemistry and Drawing in Korean Language.

Alternativ­ely, UniKL MIIT also offers another programme also known as Korean Language Intensive Programme (K-LIP) as a platform for students to further study in any other fields such as business administra­tion, management, art and culture at Korean universiti­es.

K-LIP is not limited as a path to further studies in degree programme but also aims to cater the needs of those who are interested to learning and mastering Korean Language.

In UniKL MIIT, students are exposed to the Korean University learning environmen­t.

All the courses are conducted in Korean language by the Korean native speakers and local lecturers who graduated from Korean universiti­es.

The classrooms are equipped with the latest teaching facilities such as smartboard and free wifi on the campus. Besides studying, students are required to participat­e in extra-curricular activities such as an open-day and inter-cultural programmes.

Afiqah Abdul Aziz, a student from the third in-take of PreKorea programme who is now studying at Ewha Womans University gave the thumbs up on the programme.

“UniKL MIIT really prepares students to excel studying in Korea. I have received Internatio­nal Education Scholarshi­p (IES) from Ewha Womans University by being excellent in Korean Language Proficienc­y Test (TOPIK) and performing well in Foundation study” said the Communicat­ion and Special Task committee of Malaysian Student Associatio­n the Republic of Korea (PPMK), 2017 session.

The collaborat­ions are amongst the top universiti­es in South Korea. As for now, some of UniKL students have received scholarshi­p from Korean Universiti­es and government.

In addition, Pre-Korea and K-LIP students also won several awards in the 11th Korean Speech Contest. This contest was organised by the Korean Embassy and the First City University College (UC) in Bandar Utama, Selangor on the last 26th December 2016.
