In a strategic move to further strengthen its global standing in higher education, the South Korean Government has announced an ambitious plan that aims to attract 300,000 foreign students by 2027.  Named as the ‘Study Korea 300K Project’, the plan highlights new measures to welcome a massive influx of international students at this leading Asian study destination. 

Until June 2023, South Korea experienced a staggering surge in international enrolments with 207,125 foreign students enrolling for the academic year. It indicated an impressive 17.6% year-over-year growth. With the new goal of 3,00,000 foreign student enrolments, a significant 30% increase is anticipated over the next five years.
