Study Trips in Korea

Even as Korea takes the lead in tech in the world, they’ve still managed to maintain a pretty perfect balance with the cultures and traditions that make this country what it is. With ornate temples and palaces to explore or traditional dress to try on there are plenty of ways to immerse yourself in this unique culture. The distinct seasons also make it attractive all year round, the changing landscape throughout the year gives you something different to enjoy every month. The location of Seoul means that you can make the most of the city and get out into nature with little planning.

The Korea trips offer the opportunity to dive into all of these activities across the year, a chance to try traditional crafts that you might otherwise not get a chance to, and enjoy the modern delights of Korea with an amazing night life experience.
