If the exchange rate moves. Today 1 KRW = 0.00863 GHS (rate of 8 November 2026). A 10% move either way changes this first year by about GHS 14,270, and a whole three to four-year degree by roughly GHS 42,820 to GHS 57,100. Plan with a margin, and pay large sums when the rate suits you.
Worth knowing. Las horas de trabajo varían de 10 a 35 a la semana dependiendo del nivel, la puntuación TOPIK y la universidad, y la cifra de matrícula es solo el promedio de pregrado de la Universidad Nacional de Seúl de 2024.
