Angelina Jolie's first son will be attending college in South Korea.

Maddox Jolie-Pitt, who turns 18 next week, has been accepted at Yonsei University in Seoul and will start taking bio chemistry classes in a few weeks.

'He got accepted to other universities but choose Yonsei. He has been studying Korean language. He has lessons multiple times a week to prepare,' a source told People.

Angelina - who adopted Maddox from an orphanage in Cambodia - will be taking him to college and helping him settle in before she heads back home to America.

The source added: 'Mom is dropping him off in August. She is very proud. She will miss seeing him as much, but he's ready.'

Maddox and Angelina first visited the university campus in November 2018.
