The Cyber University of Korea (CUK) is gearing up to promote Korean language education for foreigners by offering various online programs. These programs are provided by the Korean Language Education Institute established in 2022 by CUK, Korea's first online university.

The Quick Korean Premium course is an upgraded version of "Quick Korean," a Korean language training program that recorded more than 10 million YouTube views from 200 countries around the world. People can take online classes in real time by interacting with professional instructors for in-depth learning. CUK began to release the "Quick Korean" program on YouTube, Naver TV and other platforms for free in 2014. Since then, the program has received compliments from learners of the Korean language around the world.

The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) Prep course is a training program designed to help overseas Koreans and non-Koreans score high in Korean language proficiency tests. Students are free to select reading, listening and writing classes and study online in preparation for TOPIK I and TOPIK II tests. After taking the classes, they can have practical exercises with instructors and get feedback from them to maximize learning effects.

The Korean Alphabet course, dedicated to beginners of the Korean language, offers an in-depth study of Korean letters, which are explained briefly through the Quick Korean level 1 classes. The importance of this course, which consists of classes that help learners understand Korean letters and read words and sentences, cannot be underestimated in that it can help solidify the basics of Korean.

CUK opened the Department of Korean Language Education in 2013 and developed it into the Division of Korean Language and Multiculture, thereby nurturing numerous Korean language instructors and multicultural society experts. In 2009, it won the top award from the Presidential Council on Nation Branding in recognition of its contributions to promoting multiculturalism and integrating immigrants into society.
