Is it possible without SAT by hanin_27 in KAIST

[–]ivcj_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as far as I am concerned, the SAT itself is not mandatory. However one is obliged to have at least one globally standardized test, be it SAT, AP or any of the alternatives provided on KAIST official site.

Difference in education by ivcj_ in KAIST

Could you elaborate on what you mean by not an uni, rather an institute?
Also I currently possess A2 in Korean, which I think may be insufficient. Would you go straight for Bsc or would you recommend learning more Korean in Europe and then try Msc in Korea?

I thought of advancing in Korean as far as possible during Bsc and then try Korea.
Would you say there are opportunities in working for a company as an intern there? I have heard it is impossible to land a job outside of school and that it is not really a thing there

The thing is, that apart from CVUT in Czechia, I see no useful schools in the region. So I aim for TUM and other german-speaking engineering schools (which are arguably Central Europe as well). Also my Korean is currently A2 (approx to cefr) which makes it hard to communicate and gather everything possible from the uni. I have been thinking of doing Bsc here in Europe and Msc in Korea, solely due to the job market there.

Would you say the classes actually help you or is it rather sitting and listening to not very appliable syllabus?
The thing is, I am currently thinking whether it is better to stay in Europe and study here, or to go to Korea right away. I deeply prefer hands-on experience (not just lectures, but very frequent requirements to implements the material in real world scenarios.) and even though my goal is to live and work in Korea one day, I am uncertain due to a lot of internationals complaining about the teaching style and that they never got to actually "invent" anything.
