s in Korea. Through this study, statistical data regarding qualified enrollment plan of Chinese students in universities in Korea are provided to analyze and enhance the enrollment system. Through survey and interview, this research investigates the situation and needs of Chinese students including those who currently enrolled in the university and the Chinese university staffs who take responsibility for Chinese students. According to the survey results, limitations of current enrollment and management system of Chinese students, and practical solutions are proposed.

During the process of enrollment and management of Chinese students, efforts from different parties are essential to make improvement. Firstly, the effort of the government is needed. For instant, Chinese students who consider studying abroad concern the expense of studying abroad the most. Among all, universities in Korea of which the expense is relatively low, which led to many Chinese students choose to study in Korean. However, they usually confront two problems. First comes the language obstacle, they can hardly well understand the information of universities or majors. Secondly, without a Korean guarantor, they cannot apply for Korean language courses in any university in Korea. Most of the Chinese students choose service agency to solve the above problems. However, information of universities and major studies they can get from the agency is very limited. Moreover, complicated application procedure and the differentiated cost of each agency create great obstacles to the enrollment and management of universities in Korea. Then it comes to effort of the universities. For instant, foreign students have to submit materials during the enrollment, which include academic record and authentication of diploma. However, some of the universities do not verify the authenticity and conformity of the materials submitted by the students. As there are difference between Chinese and Korean education system, some students should not be qualified to enroll into the four-year educational system in Korea. All of these create negative impact in quality control of foreign students and increase attrition rate. It will also damage the image of these Korean universities in China

To tackle the limitation and find out solution, survey and interviews were conducted with Chinese students including the ones who have graduated as research subject. Analysis results indicated that when the universities enroll and manage the Chinese students, three phrases should be improved. First of all, before enrollment, promotion catering to the Chinese students should be more effective, especially the information about major studies and introduction to the school. Many Chinese students wish that they could know more about the major courses and the direction of education. After enrollment, sufficient language guide for foreign students is needed. Especially, the guidance about Korean writing should be improved. Besides, government and universities should provide training courses for employees who are responsible for the enrollment and management, including enrollment and management of foreign students, verification of enrollment materials and understanding of multi-culture. Eventually, in the graduation phrase, sharing of employment guidance and information should be supported to students, regarding guidance of personal development and career direction. Besides, by actively establishing network of overseas school alumni could help sharing overseas employment information for the internal students hence promoting the universities.

By data analysis and proposing solutions, this study aims to make improvement for the Korean government and universities in the aspect of expansion in the enrollment of excellent Chinese students.
