Quick Questions for Korean students

Do South Korean students usually need GRE for US graduate programs?
Many US programs have made GRE optional, but submitting strong scores can still benefit Korean applicants in competitive fields.
How important is English test performance for Korean master’s applicants?
Very important — high IELTS/TOEFL scores are often expected because many Korean degrees are not fully English-taught.
Are Korean PhD applicants expected to have prior lab experience?
Yes. Supervisors in Europe and North America typically expect Korean candidates to demonstrate hands-on research experience.
Do South Korean postdoc applicants need international publications?
For top labs, yes — SCI-indexed papers significantly strengthen Korean postdoc applications.
Are Korean students usually required to pay tuition deposits for master’s offers?
In the UK and Australia sometimes yes; in many European funded PhD roles, typically no deposit is required.
