Study mode

Departmental research and thesis pathway. Confirm your cohort’s course load, attendance and any alternative graduation arrangements.

Duration

The department permits thesis-review applications after at least four registered semesters and the required examination passes. Confirm normal completion time and your cohort’s rules; this is not a guaranteed award date.

Entry requirements

A qualifying bachelor’s degree is required; confirm recognition of your qualification against the guide’s four-year-university wording. Meet the university’s international-applicant nationality rules for you and both parents, including citizenship timing; Korean dual nationality and stateless status are excluded. Meet one of the guide’s accepted language-evidence routes, with valid certificates and any documented exemption conditions. Confirm department recruitment, teaching language and document authentication before applying. Expected graduates must confirm the degree-completion and certificate-submission dates with the university. The department lists at least three graduate-exam subjects and at least one public thesis presentation. Its thesis-review reference requires at least four registered semesters and passes in foreign-language and comprehensive examinations. Confirm the complete applicable graduation plan and any exemptions or alternatives; professional qualification is assessed separately. The General Graduate School’s posted thesis guidance asks for the final approved file within one month after review, a scanned committee-approved page bearing all committee seals and any required copyright/embargo documentation. It removes printed-thesis submission from the late-graduation cohort of academic year 2024 onward; confirm the current library calendar and any additional department copies. Thesis/abstract language must follow the school’s corresponding-language rules and departmental approval; permission for a foreign-language thesis does not establish English teaching.
