Why students choose South Korea
Quality on a budget
Well-ranked universities with tuition well below most English-speaking destinations — and scholarships that cut it further.
English-taught, IELTS-based
Many programs in business, engineering and IT are taught in English. Admission is on your HSC/A-level results and IELTS — no Korean needed to start.
A path after graduation
Graduates can switch to a D-10 job-seeking visa, and Korean picked up along the way opens doors with Korean employers in Bangladesh too.

| Intake | Apply (typical) | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| March 2027 (spring) | Oct – Dec 2026 | Most programs and scholarship places |

Typical windows — each university sets its own deadlines, and scholarship rounds can close earlier.

Typical starting points — every university and course sets its own rules.
Show you can cover your first year.
For the D-2 visa you usually show a bank balance of around USD 20,000 (≈ ৳24.4 lakh) (amounts vary by university and region) held for some time before applying. Scholarships reduce tuition, but the proof of funds still matters.
Do
Keep 6 months of steady statements, tax papers and a clear source of funds.
Avoid
Sudden large deposits, unexplained money and last-minute paperwork.
Work, housing and what comes after.
Part-time work
After your first semester, D-2 students can usually work about 20–25 hours a week with permission, more in vacations. It helps with living costs — not tuition.
Dormitories
Most universities offer on-campus dorms for international students — the most affordable and easiest choice for your first year.
After graduation
The D-10 job-seeking visa lets graduates stay and look for work in Korea.
