Strong government policies made South Korea the world’s 11th largest economy and Asia’s 4th largest economy. Investment in the education sector played a vital role in the development of the country.
South Korea is also known as the homeland of many famous brands such as Samsung, Daewoo, Hyundai, LG, Kia, Lotte and many more.
​
To spread the great vision of South Korean universities, the government made favorable policies to attract international students. In 2011 there were almost 85,000 international students. Now, the government has set a target for 200,000 foreign students by the year 2020.
​
South Korea is also a great place to live. It has lots of attractions for tourists and students. Beautiful national parks, atop mountain peaks, dense forests, Buddhist temples, peaceful and calm islands, public bath houses (jjimjibang) and many more. Being a student is a very unique experience in South Korea. South Korean universities are providing world class facilities to students with comparatively less fees.
​
South Korean government has also offered scholarships to international students every year. The amount of these scholarships varies and are given to students on merit basis. Korean scholarships for Pakistani students in 2016 were awarded as an equal amount to complete tuition fee or 30% tuition fee. These scholarships are given under Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) scheme.
​
