année de césure corée

With 6 main universities and 17 other universities, Daegu is the country's leading student city, which explains the large number of international students. The atmosphere in the city centre, with its bars, clubs, shops and markets, is characterised by youth and student life. The cost of living is relatively lower than in Seoul.

Daegu is also an industrial city, with industries in electronics manufacturing, fashion, textiles, high technology... so many job opportunities for Working Holiday students.

Around Daegu, there are many places to visit, villages with a real historical dimension, numerous Buddhist temples and the nearby mountains such as Palong-san.

 

Korean language courses :

2 Korean language courses are included in the 4-week programme. The courses are given by the largest language school in Daegu. It is located right in the centre, within walking distance of the accommodation, in a modern building.

Depending on your needs, you can extend the course period or take an intensive course. Language courses are available at different levels, from beginners to upper intermediate. The school also offers language exchanges twice a week at no extra cost.

 

What kind of paid work can you find in Korea?
