Entry requirements

The Spring 2027 guide requires the applicant and both parents to be foreign nationals; Korean and dual nationals are excluded. Immigration or adoption cases have specific nationality-acquisition timing and evidence conditions. Confirm any former Korean nationality and the required loss or renunciation before the application deadline. Freshman applicants need high-school graduation or expected graduation from a recognized institution. College-entrance qualification examinations, home schooling and distance learning are not acknowledged. If education spans countries or an 11-year school system, ask PNU to assess the complete education history under the Korean original; this listing does not assume automatic equivalence. The departmental table lists TOPIK (IBT or PBT) Level 4 or completion of Level 4 at PNU Language Education Institute. For Nepalese, Mongolian, Vietnamese and Uzbekistani applicants, the Korean original’s departmental rows require TOPIK Level 5 or higher only. Do not assume an English score or PNU completion certificate replaces that nationality-specific TOPIK requirement. Other eligible PNU LEI applicants may use the stated enrollment and attendance evidence conditionally, with the required completion certificate due by 29 January 2027 or admission is cancelled. Certificates from other language institutions are not accepted for this completion route. Confirm the route applicable to your nationality. Applicants permitted to apply in advance using the 15th TOPIK iBT admission slip must submit the score certificate as a PDF by 17 November 2026 at 18:00 under the guide’s conditions; confirm applicability and the follow-up instructions. The required documents include nationality and family evidence, unexpired applicant and parent passports, personal statement and study plan, high-school graduation or expected-graduation evidence and transcripts, language evidence, application and consent forms, and financial-support documents. ARC holders and applicants currently residing in Korea should check the card-copy requirement. Relevant records require apostille or consular verification and certified translation where applicable. Academic documents have a six-month validity window tied to the 6 November 2026 document deadline. Nationality and family documents have a one-year window; the guide uses both deadline-based issuance wording and notarization/submission wording, so confirm acceptable issuance and notarization dates. Chinese-school graduates have specific CHSI graduation-verification and translated, notarized and apostilled transcript requirements. Chinese vocational, adult-vocational, technical and other recognized upper-secondary school categories have separate education-authority, online-verification, apostille and, in some cases, school-registration or operating-permit requirements; confirm the route for your school category. A Chinese household register replaces the separate family-relationship and parents’ nationality certificates only where the applicant and both parents appear on the same register. Expected graduates must submit verified final graduation evidence by 26 February 2027. Financial evidence is at least KRW 16,000,000 in the applicant’s, father’s or mother’s name, or the listed remittance/exchange evidence. The guide requires financial evidence issued within 30 days of the 6 November 2026 deadline. When a certificate has a stated expiry date, the Korean original also limits accepted certificates to those issued within the previous six months; confirm the applicable validity window with PNU. The financial-support form needs the guarantor’s handwritten signature. The Korean original requires Korean-bank evidence when the applicant and parents reside together in Korea; the English version uses broader applicant-or-parent wording. Confirm which bank account and proof PNU accepts for your residence situation. Required documents apply regardless of visa type. Vietnamese, Nepalese, Mongolian and Uzbekistani applicants have additional deposit and transaction-history conditions after admission confirmation: the guide lists deposits by 18 December 2026 and transaction statements by 21 December 2026 at 18:00. Vietnamese applicants in Korea use the NH Bank branch at PNU; overseas Vietnamese applicants use Shinhan Bank or Woori Bank in Vietnam. Confirm the other nationality-specific bank requirements and the current checklist; failure to satisfy the additional conditions can cancel admission. Selection uses document screening and an interview where the department requires one; do not assume an interview waiver. The guide says admitted undergraduates may be assigned a department or major under selection criteria at the end of their first or second year; confirm the allocation timing and conditions for your intended unit. If interpretations differ between language versions, the guide gives the Korean version precedence. Confirm department conditions, available places and future application rounds with PNU.

Course fees

The Spring 2027 guide lists tuition of KRW 2,932,000 per semester for this admission unit, comprising Tuition Fee I of KRW 412,000 and Tuition Fee II of KRW 2,520,000. These are the published 2027 reference amounts; tuition is subject to change, so confirm the current invoice. The guide lists an application fee of KRW 144,000. Ordinary cancellation and refund are unavailable after application completion and payment; the guide lists exceptional refund circumstances, excluding the Internet administration fee. Confirm the full policy and any additional costs. Scholarships are conditional and have not been deducted from these amounts.

Intake

This listing uses PNU’s Spring 2027 undergraduate guide. Online applications ran from 12 October 2026 at 09:00 to 23 October 2026 at 18:00 KST and are closed. Original documents must arrive by 6 November 2026 at 18:00 KST for applicants who applied in that window. Later TOPIK-score or financial-document dates do not open a new application round. Where an interview is required, the guide tentatively lists 7 December 2026; confirm the department’s notice. Ask PNU about the next available application round and places.
