We organize exams on behalf of a number of UK universities and institutes that cover a wide range of academic and vocational subjects as follows:

  • Re-sit examinations: Students of UK universities can sit their exams at the British Council in Korea throughout the year, without having to return to the UK.
  • Distance learning examinations: Not everyone can travel abroad for a UK qualification. If you are thinking of studying from home with UK universities and institutes, you may be able to sit your exams in our centre.
  • Other on-demand university exams: We offer a range of other on-demand exams. Contact us for more information.
