Entry requirements

The 2026 guide’s common master’s requirement is a bachelor’s degree from a four-year university or recognized equivalent, including expected graduates. Confirm the completion deadline for your intended intake. The guide offers a route for a foreign applicant with two foreign parents, and a separate route for overseas Koreans and foreign nationals who completed the full school and university curriculum abroad; the related document section refers to at least 16 years. Confirm the nationality and education evidence for your route. The department assesses Korean or English ability during selection. Holders are asked to submit a TOPIK Level 3 or higher certificate and any English test report; this does not establish TOPIK 3 as a universal entry threshold. An English-score admission route for this department is not established by the guide’s published clause. Confirm the accepted language evidence; an English score alone should not be assumed sufficient. The general checklist includes the printed online application, three recent photos, degree certificates and full transcripts with percentage grades, a personal statement, study plan, identity documents, education-verification consent, a recommendation and family evidence. Applicants with Chinese nationality are asked for parental household-register evidence or additional proof of relationship where needed. Chinese-university graduates have a separate Chinese Ministry of Education qualification-verification requirement; this is tied to the degree institution. Other degree authentication and notarized Korean translations must be checked for your case; stated translation exceptions depend on university or partner recommendations. Foreign Cheongju graduates and expected graduates are listed for common checklist items 1–8; confirm the checklist and financial documents applicable to your category. The general checklist offers a financial-guarantee form or a bank-balance certificate in the applicant’s own name. It cites USD 13,000 or more and CNY 90,000; confirm the approved currency, amount and evidence for your route. These are published financial-evidence references, separate from course fees. The listed areas for this degree are National Defense and Security. The guide offers a thesis option or a course-based master’s option without a thesis, requiring six additional credits. These are additional credits, not the total credits for the degree; confirm the approved study plan. In its degree-stage section, the guide lists a foreign-language examination exemption for the four Special Graduate Schools. This does not establish an admission language waiver; confirm the examination scope and current rule for your school. If you intend to use an English-score graduation criterion, also confirm the entry-time evidence requirement and how it interacts with that exemption. Selection includes document review and an oral assessment, which can include a practical assessment. Confirm any area-specific practical submission, portfolio or audition requirements. An online oral assessment may be available to foreign applicants staying in their home country. Annual tuition and university scholarship policies may change; confirm current tuition and funding conditions before applying. Admission does not guarantee a visa, scholarship, employment or professional registration.
