Writing
Lab Korea
University Graduate School
Part of the mandatory learning process at The Graduate
School at Korea University is acquiring the skills to be able to discuss
academic topics and write papers in the Korean language. The latter could
especially be a daunting task for international students to whom Korean writing
is relatively new.
The Writing Lab is designed to offer assistance to the
students’ writing of course papers, publications, theses, or dissertations, and
can be accessed through the following means. In addition to academic writing,
the writing lab can also assist students with personal statements, resumes, and
cover letters written in the Korean language.
However, please note that while our tutors can provide critiques, models, resources, and general comments on students’ writings, they will be less inclined to proofread or copy-edit the writings, in order that the student will properly develop Korean writing abilities in the long term.
Making an appointment
We encourage all users of the Writing Lab to make an

contact information,

topic of writing,
- Current writing
needs (grammar, composition, style, etc.),
- Preferred time for

information that may help your tutor better prepared to assist you.
Once you receive a reply from one of our tutors, your
