The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) is an internationally recognized language exam that assesses non-native speakers’ Korean language skills, including reading, writing, and listening, across various proficiency levels. It is taken by students, job seekers, and immigrants in South Korea and globally who need to prove their Korean ability for academic admissions, employment, or visa purposes. A good TOPIK score is often a gateway to opportunities like university enrollment or professional roles in Korea. The exam is administered by the National Institute for International Education (NIIED), under the Korean Ministry of Education.
