Entry requirements

The guide requires the applicant and parents to hold non-Korean citizenship; it excludes dual-nationality and stateless applicants and requires completed proof of any loss of Korean nationality. GED, homeschooling, cyber-school learning and adult education are not recognized under this guide. The 2027 Spring table permits transfer for the Korean track and marks transfer unavailable for the English track. The tracks remain one programme. Freshman applicants need completed or expected secondary education before entry. For transfer, the guide lists year-two entry after at least one university year/two regular semesters and 25% of degree credits; year-three entry after two years/four semesters and 50% of credits, or graduation from a two/three-year college; year-four entry after a three-year college. Confirm the entry year accepted by this major and the committee’s credit decision. For the Korean track, the guide lists TOPIK Level 3, the specified KIIP Level 3/pre-evaluation 61 route, or King Sejong Institute Intermediate 1 completion. English-track examples include IELTS 5.5, CEFR B2 or New TEPS 202. The guide also prints TOEFL iBT 3.5 (previous scale 59); confirm the applicable test scale, edition and equivalence before relying on it. The page-six requirement says scores valid at submission, while the checklist says valid through the final application day; confirm validity through your round’s end. A conditional English-proof exemption requires qualifying citizenship plus official evidence of secondary or higher education in English; it is not automatic. Follow authentication, translation and nationality-specific document requirements. Applicants already in Korea may submit language proof later only after mandatory prior consultation and subject to the stated February registration condition. Graduation language rules are separate; confirm your programme and track requirements.

Course fees

The 2027 Spring guide lists a KRW 60,000 bachelor application fee, payable online and not returned; agreement-based waivers require confirmation. Tuition figures are explicitly based on Fall 2026: KRW 3,120,000 for the first semester and KRW 3,007,000 per semester from the second semester onwards in this programme’s field category. These are reference rates, not confirmed 2027 charges or a personal invoice. They exclude unverified accommodation and living costs. The guide’s KRW 16,000,000 bank-balance requirement is financial proof, not an extra tuition charge. Confirm the current invoice, payment and refund conditions before paying.

Intake

Spring 2027 begins 2 March. Round 1: 1–31 October 2026; Round 2: 21 December 2026–3 January 2027; Round 3: 25–29 January 2027. Online applications and required-document submission close at 18:00 KST on each round’s final day. Documents are submitted by mail or in person; confirm delivery and office arrangements in advance, including weekends and holidays. Round 3 is restricted to special-programme applicants or those currently residing in Korea; it is not a general overseas round. The schedule may change and does not guarantee a place. The 2027 Spring table permits transfer for the Korean track and marks transfer unavailable for the English track. The tracks remain one programme.
