Entry requirements

For the reviewed AMA+ route, the applicant and both parents must hold citizenship of eligible OECD DAC recipient countries; any dual citizenships must also satisfy the rule. China and Viet Nam appear in the guide’s 2027 list, but nationality alone does not establish eligibility. A high school diploma or accepted expected-graduation evidence is required. Expected graduates must provide the final certificate by 23 February 2027 and prove TOPIK Level 5 or higher for the pre-entry language-training exemption; other training conditions require confirmation. The department row lists TOPIK Level 5. Country-specific TOPIK unavailability alternatives and qualifying recent course-completion evidence may be considered under the guide; the internal Korean test does not replace TOPIK. The portfolio column specifies no prescribed format rather than an exemption. Confirm the required academic work and submission format for the current application route. Admission and scholarship selection require individual assessment; other required documents and prior-government-scholarship restrictions must be checked against the complete guide.

Intake

The reviewed 2027 AMA+ scholarship-admission round is closed: online applications ran 5–15 May 2026, KST. The guide describes the closing time as midnight on 15 May; no clock-time conversion is inferred here. This is evidence of the programme and that admission route, not a new open application window or guaranteed scholarship. Confirm a later AMA+ round or the separate general international-admission route with K-Arts.
