Entry requirements

Foreign applicants must consult the Global Admissions Team before submitting documents, as required by the 2027 general graduate guide. Confirm the applicable international route, language requirements and eligibility directly with the university. The guide’s general doctoral route requires a master’s degree or recognised equivalent, completed or expected by February 2027; the previous master’s field normally aligns with the intended field, with separate selection possible. Graduates of special or professional graduate schools may need additional written assessment or prerequisite courses. The general checklist includes the application, personal introduction/privacy consent and degree-level academic records. Foreign university documents need the stated originals, Korean/English or notarised translation and authentication procedures; confirm your exact international checklist. General selection combines document assessment with interview/oral assessment; two adverse assessor decisions or an interview/oral score below 60% can cause rejection. Confirm any international-route differences, supervision arrangements and completion requirements. Linked bachelor–master, combined master–doctor and transfer routes have separate conditions and are not extra degrees in this listing. The Theology selection chart assigns 60% to document assessment and 40% to interview/oral assessment. The guide says doctoral applicants may also be asked to take an English test during the admission interview or provide an English score; confirm the required test and minimum with the department.

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.
