The reasons why so many students choose to pursue Korean as a major are not simply because they admire some Korean superstars. Below are the five main reasons why Korean language major is gaining popularity in Vietnam.
- Increasing demand for employees who can speak Korean: Korea is one of the largest foreign investors in Vietnam. According to statistics from the Foreign Investment Agency, Korea has 5,364 investment projects in Vietnam, which not only shows high investment potential but also creates more job opportunities for Vietnamese laborers. As a result, more and more students are choosing to study Korean in college, longing to work in a Korean company after graduation.
- Relatively high salary: The average salary that Korean companies pay Vietnamese laborers is comparatively high, with the starting salary for those with TOPIK level 4 ranging from 800 to 1,000 USD per month. The requirements of these companies are not so demanding as long as Vietnamese laborers can speak Korean.
- To stand out in front of Recruiters: Korean Language graduates are prospective candidates for not only Korean companies but also Vietnamese organizations and companies working with Korean partners. Besides, the salary is relatively generous.
- Shortage of laborers fluent in Korean in many industries: There is currently a limited number of laborers in the industries such as Accounting, Tourism, Engineering and so on that are capable of speaking Korean. The Korean language education system in Vietnam has yet to meet demand. Therefore, it is reasonable to predict that there will be plenty of job vacancies related to Korean language in the foreseeable future. This is a reason why an investment in the pursuit of Korean as a major in college can open up promising job opportunities.
- Opportunity to study abroad in Korea: The total cost of a Korean language course does not exceed 40 million VND. Also, it does not take much time to study Korean grammar and vocabulary. Korean is an open language and is less competitive than Japanese and English.
Studying Korean in college can help you find wonderful job opportunities, build relationships in the future, and upgrade yourself in such an international environment.
Reasons for choosing a prestigious Korean language college
There are currently a large number of Korean language centers opened in Hanoi to meet the increasing demands of students. However, it is unlikely for students to achieve high academic results if they only participate in short-term courses on an occasional basis. Therefore, choosing a reputable Korean language college is a top priority when considering learning Korean.
- Foreign language centers often suffer from the following disadvantages: cancellation of classes due to insufficient number of students, instability of the teaching staff, and no guarantee of teaching quality. In addition, the fact that textbooks, reference books, and other teaching materials are not regularly updated and modified makes it difficult for students to keep up with the learning process. Students studying at a foreign language center also have fewer opportunities to interact with Korean native speakers than those studying at a university or college.
- One advantage of attending a Korean language college is that students can study continuously and regularly during a two-to-three-year period with the aid of highly qualified Vietnamese and Korean lecturers in well-equipped classrooms.
- Not only are students taught communication skills (i.e., listening and speaking), but they are systematically trained in specialized and career-oriented subjects. Students also have various opportunities to interact with students of the same major of associated colleges and Korean students.
- Students studying at a foreign language center can take the Korean language proficiency test, but the certificate is valid in only 2 years. Meanwhile, students of a Korean language college are awarded with a formal college degree of long-lasting validity .
- Students majoring in Korean language are guaranteed a job opportunity after graduation.
