This study investigates the linguistic and academic adjustment of Vietnamese graduate students in Korea, focusing on challenges and support needs across pre- and post-arrival phases. Using a mixed-methods design, the data were collected from 48 participants (17 pre-arrival, 31 post-arrival) through interviews and surveys. Language barriers were identified as the most significant academic challenge, with additional difficulties in communication with professors and understanding course content. A majority (70.97%) expressed intentions to pursue employment in Korea after graduation. Chi-square analysis showed a trend-level association between Korean proficiency, part-time work experience, and settlement intent (χ² = 14.90, p = .093) in Korea, while Spearman’s correlation revealed a moderate positive relationship between language skills and willingness to settle (ρ = 0.32, p = 0.075). These findings highlight the importance of tailored, practice-based Korean language programs linked to career pathways. Institutional efforts should address not only Korean for Academic and Occupational Purposes, especially in beauty and service industries to support graduate-level international students’ integration and retention.
