Lexis Korea provides Korean language programs of the highest academic quality in two of Asia’s most vibrant and dynamic cities.

Both the Seoul and Busan campuses are located in downtown areas, in purpose-built facilities providing a modern study environment to complement our range of innovative language programs.

Our committed staff offer personalised and genuine support for students during their Korean learning experience. Whether you are seeking an intensive academic program or are more interested in building your Korean conversational skills for travel, work and play, Lexis Korea offers a range of high-quality programs suitable for all levels.

Lexis Korea is a repeated winner of the prestigious ESL World School award, and in 2014 was recognised with the STM World Language School Star Award, widely regarded as the pinnacle achievement in the language education field.

With Lonely Planet recently placing South Korea second in its Top 10 must-visit countries, now is the perfect time to come to Korea and explore the mysteries and excitement that it offers.

We invite you to begin your journey with us, and we look forward to sharing all Korea has to offer.

1. Student Residence

The Lexis Student Residence provides high quality student accommodation  for the exclusive use of Lexis Korea students.

This studio type accommodation includes single, twin and quad bed options that are complete with basic furnishings, en-suite toilet/bathroom, free WIFI, as well as private laundry and kitchen facilities.

The Lexis Student Residence building is located directly next door to the Lexis Seoul campus, with a one minute walk time to school and less than three minutes to the transport hub of Gangnam Station. The area surrounding the Lexis Student Residence has endless numbers of cafes, bars and restaurants for students to select from.

The single bed option is suitable for those who appreciate privacy and prefer to live independently. The twin and quad options are shared rooms, suitable for those who are keen to meet other fellow students and to make new friends. Students in share rooms may book with friends, or elect to have a roommate assigned by the Lexis Korea accommodation team.

2. Homestay

Homestays allow students to live with a local family, experience day-to-day life in Korea, and enjoy amazing home-cooked Korean food! There is no better way to develop your language skills and learn more about this fascinating country than to fully immerse yourself in the culture and society. As with most Koreans, our homestay families are eager to share their culture with our students, and can introduce you to some of the hidden delights of Seoul and Busan. Some families live in downtown apartments, others in larger homes in the suburbs, but regardless you will be warmly welcomed to the house as a guest, and will have the chance to experience the hospitality for which Koreans are well known for.

3. Mini Studio

Lexis Korea can arrange accommodation from a selection of mini-studio locations in both Gangnam and Seomyeon. Mini-studios, better known as ‘goshiwon’, are low-priced accommodation normally used by university students.

Rooms are self-contained, with basic furnishings and a private bathroom. Kitchen and laundry facilities are shared, with most providing free rice, noodles and kimchi. Please keep in mind that while mini studios are the cheapest possible private accommodation, the rooms are very small!

Typically, the mini-studios we provide are within a fifteen-minute walk to the Lexis campus, and are a short stroll from a near-endless selection of shops, restaurants and bars. Full CCTV security systems are in place, along with auto-locking doors and on-site security; making mini-studios an ideal option for women travelling alone. Many providers offer ‘women only’ floors, so please request this if you would feel more comfortable.

4. Servised Apartment

In Busan, we are affiliated with Toyoko Inn which is located a short 5 minutes walk from our Lexis Busan campus. We offer Single Room and Double Room options priced respectively at KRW55,000 and KRW70,000 per night. Breakfast is also included free of charge.

Located on the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, Busan, South Korea’s second largest city, is a dynamic city famed for its stunning beaches and lively food scene with fresh, delicious seafood being the key ingredient in most kitchens.

Much more relaxed than the capital, Busan exudes a holiday-resort-city vibe, offering a completely different experience from Seoul. A paradise for nature lovers, Busan is framed by stunning natural landscapes, with a beautiful coastline and ocean views to the south as well as scenic mountains and cliffs to the north.

Just minutes from the bustling downtown area, you can lounge on one of Asia’s finest beaches, explore the wilds of Korea’s national parks, find inner peace meditating in a temple, or enjoy the fresh seafood at Korea’s largest fish market.

There is also no shortage when it comes to Busan’s thriving nightlife. Dance your night away at some of the best nightclubs at Gwangalli Beach or if you prefer, unwind to some jazz at trendy Haeundae Beach.

With its laid-back vibe, Busan makes an ideal study location, with an affordable cost of living and a welcoming temperate climate throughout the year.

If you wish to enjoy a relaxing and peaceful resort lifestyle whilst experiencing Korea’s city excitement, Busan is the place to be!

1. Lexis Meet Up

For many students, the highlight of their stay is Lexis Meet Up. This fortnightly event, held in a local cafe, provides a welcoming and friendly atmosphere for all to enjoy. It creates a wonderful opportunity to become friends with local Koreans and other classmates from all over the world for an exchange of language and culture.

2. Lexis Student Night

Koreans have a strong appreciation of the pleasures of dining with friends. Lexis Student Night, a monthly social gathering, brings together both our international and local students for a great evening of Korean food, beer, and soju. There’s no better way to break the ice and forge friendships, making Lexis Student Night the highlight of our social calendar.

3. Activities & Excursions

To ensure that our students make the most out of their time in Korea, either in Seoul or Busan, our Student Services team arranges regular afternoon activities and day trips to introduce the country and its culture.
