Currently, there is a prejudice against Korean Ph.D.s in China. They think that Korean PhDs are easy to graduate and have average abilities, etc. But I absolutely believe that China should treat overseas PhDs and local PhDs equally. There should be standards and performance requirements for recruitment in colleges and universities. Those with overseas Ph.D.s who are good enough to have a Ph.D. will naturally be rejected.
There are indeed some pheasant universities in South Korea that recruit Chinese Ph.D.s in batches, but most of them are still very strict, especially national universities. National universities do not have mandatory requirements on the number of professors in admissions and student graduation, so most of them still have strict requirements.
Whether it is language ability or academic ability. I don't think you can kill a group of people with one stick. It is still necessary to conduct in-depth assessments of the performance and abilities of introduced PhDs to avoid similar problems.
The doctoral system in South Korea is not very strict. It usually lasts three years, and most students take three to five years, while some students only need two years to complete it. In short, the quality of an article is related to students' academic performance.
Of course, there are also professors’ reasons for this. If you think your paper is well written, you can graduate early, and if you think your paper is not well written, you can postpone your graduation.
South Korea is a country where Korean is the mother tongue. Most universities and majors require at least topik level 3. However, the admission requirements for this university are: Korean 3 or higher, TOEFL 5.5 or higher. Just one of these two things is enough.
