Campus

The department-office table places Economics at Bumin Campus, office B04-0702, in Busan. This is a department contact location; confirm where your classes and supervision take place. The International Affairs submission office at Bumin is a separate administrative address.

Location

Busan

Teaching language

The programme’s own admission row lists Korean as its medium of instruction. Confirm current module, assessment, supervision and language-support arrangements; the remote interview option does not establish online study.

Duration

The reviewed admission material does not establish this programme’s duration or credit requirement. Confirm the current study period, credit load, thesis or alternative completion route and individual study plan.

Entry requirements

The Korean-track table lists TOPIK level 3 and SKA 296 as language benchmarks; confirm the accepted evidence for your application. The guide uses a two-year test-validity rule tied to its historical deadline. Its listed-country high-school English exemption has specific conditions; studying in English elsewhere does not by itself establish an exemption. Confirm current score validity and any applicable exception. Historical graduate-entry requirements call for a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, with the applicant and both parents being non-Korean citizens; the guide restricts dual-nationality and stateless applications, so confirm your individual status. Selection combines document review (40%) and an interview (60%); all applicants must attend, with remote interview arrangements possible for those unable to attend in Korea. This does not establish online degree delivery. Prepare the application, applicant-written personal statement and study plan in Korean or English, signed education-verification consent, bachelor’s diploma and transcript, language evidence, passport/identity and family-nationality evidence, and financial documents. The Master checklist marks a separate research proposal as not required; a study plan is required, and departments may request further evidence. Transcripts need a percentile or CGPA with its full scale; follow the official-letter or permitted conversion route where absent. Other-language documents need notarised Korean or English translations. Chinese-institution graduates have a two-part requirement: English CHSI verification plus graduation and degree certificates with the required translations/notarisation. Confirm eligibility if only one certificate is issued. Apostille or Korean-consular verification depends on the document’s issuing country. A limited delayed-credential exception includes Vietnam and applies only under the guide’s graduation-within-one-year condition, with authentication and the final certificate required for the relevant visa renewal; obtain the current instructions. The ordinary bank reference is at least KRW 16,000,000; only the stated Dong-A degree/Korean-course student category has the KRW 8,000,000 exception. Vietnam’s note instead requires more than KRW 16,000,000 deposited for at least three months. The general certificate issuance rule of one month is document recency, not a universal deposit-holding period. Confirm the accepted account holder; guarantor income, employment and financial-support evidence are required together where applicable. Submit online evidence during the application window and the required hard copies after admission; visa documents are separate. The guide says submitted documents are not returned and permits verified/notarised copies where an original is difficult to reissue. Confirm the complete current checklist, single-parent evidence if relevant, and the first-semester leave restriction. Admission does not guarantee a visa.

Course fees

The guide explicitly lists a non-refundable Master’s application fee of KRW 50,000; this is separate from tuition and is a historical reference requiring current confirmation. Its tuition table uses 2025 figures and does not explicitly label the currency or billing period in that table, so no tuition amount or total is quoted here. Confirm the current admission charge, tuition period, insurance, housing, other compulsory costs and tuition refund terms. Language-proficiency scholarships are conditional on track, scores and assessment; continuation requires the stated GPA of at least 85 and no F or U(NP) grades within regular semesters. A higher qualifying score may affect a later semester. The English scholarship row lists TEPS 326, while the admission table lists 327; confirm the applicable threshold rather than treating scholarship criteria as an admission waiver. Some on-campus awards may combine with the international scholarship, but their total cannot exceed tuition and neither selection nor any net fee is guaranteed. The historical Dong-A Excellence Scholarship I department list does not name Economics. This is not a current ineligibility decision; ask the department to confirm available awards and the applicable criteria.

Intake

The official attachment is labelled Spring 2026, while its cover says Fall 2025 and separately prints 2026. Its dated online application window was 4–18 November 2025, closing at 24:00 Korean Time, with admission results scheduled for 30 December 2025, hard copies due by 9 January 2026 and tuition payment on 6–8 January. A separate condition refers to semester commencement on 1 March 2026. These dates are past and the conflicting cover wording is retained. Ask us to check the next intake, current deadlines and places; no current application window is implied.
