Entry requirements

Foreign applicants must consult the Global Admissions Team before submitting documents. The guide’s general master’s eligibility requires a bachelor’s degree or recognised equivalent, completed or expected by February 2027; a different prior major may require additional assessment or prerequisite courses. Confirm the exact international checklist and any language or access requirements for this online route. The special school assesses academic records and may use interview/oral assessment; the guide says applicants staying overseas may be selected through document assessment alone, which is discretionary. According to the university guide, this online degree is not a route to residence in Korea or a D-2 student visa. The guide explicitly states that Korean Language and Culture does not provide Korean-language teacher qualification. Its separate Korean as a Foreign Language Education department and that department’s TOPIK Level 6 rule are different provisions. Confirm participation from your country, live-session times, individual recognition, academic documents, assessment and graduation requirements with the school. The guide’s other contract-department employment conditions are not automatically applicable to these two online departments.

Intake

The 2027 general graduate admissions page lists rounds of 14–30 October 2026, 23 November–4 December 2026 and 11–14 January 2027, with a 17:00 close on that page and no explicit timezone. These are general-school references, not a confirmed individual foreign-applicant deadline. Foreign applicants must complete the required pre-submission consultation. The HTML page and PDF differ on how early recruitment may close and on some later result/registration dates; ask the university to confirm the applicable international schedule, current places and submission procedure before acting.
