In South Korea, students typically go to university at the age of 19.
Here's a breakdown of the educational system:
- High school: Students complete high school at age 18.
- University: University entrance exams are taken in November of their senior year of high school.
- University start date: The academic year begins in March, so students typically start university at age 19.
However, it's important to note that there are exceptions:
- Early entry: Some students may choose to take the university entrance exams early, allowing them to begin university at age 18.
- Gap year: Students can take a gap year after high school, delaying their university start date to age 20 or older.
While the majority of students begin university at 19, the actual age can vary depending on individual circumstances.
