Entry requirements

The guide permits applications without a Korean-language score for these ordinary Korean-track units; this does not guarantee admission, English-taught classes or exemption from Korean study. Optional Korean-language evidence has specified test, course and validity conditions: obtain the checklist for your chosen route. The compulsory-study table lists two semesters of intensive Korean for first-year entrants in its TOPIK/TOPIK iBT Level 3-or-below group, seventeen credits per semester and thirty-four credits in total; the transfer reference is one semester and twelve credits. If you have no score, ask the university how placement and compulsory study apply to you. TOPIK/TOPIK iBT Level 4-or-above holders must submit the score within the orientation-specified period to obtain the stated exemption; late or in-study submission does not provide a mid-course exemption. Applicants and both parents must meet the foreign-nationality category; Korean nationality and Korean/foreign dual nationality are excluded. Confirm other dual-nationality or nationality-change cases, including the before-high-school-entry condition. First-year entry requires recognised regular schooling and high-school graduation, expected graduation or an accepted equivalent; the guide excludes its listed online, adult, distance, equivalency-examination and homeschooling routes for freshman entry. Transfer has separate diploma or four-year-university routes; on the latter, year-two entry requires two completed regular semesters and thirty credits, and year-three entry four regular semesters and sixty credits. Credit recognition or additional subjects may extend the nominal remaining study period. These units fall under the ordinary document-assessment route, listed at 100 points; the Medical Science video-interview rule is not their standard selection rule. Confirm the exact award, study arrangements and any separate professional or teaching-credential requirements; admission does not guarantee a licence, employment or recognition abroad. Any score submitted must be valid at application. For Korean-track graduation, the guide requires TOPIK/TOPIK iBT Level 4 or completion of the university’s alternative programme where the score is not achieved. The alternative programme is at the student’s cost; confirm its current conditions and price.

Course fees

The Spring 2027 guide lists tuition of KRW 5,119,800 per semester for this Natural Sciences/Physical Education category. Budget review may increase the charge, and any difference must be paid: this listed reference is not the final 2027 invoice. A separate KRW 150,000 undergraduate application fee is not tuition. The guide allows an application-cancellation request before the application deadline with a full application-fee refund; after the deadline, exceptions depend on the applicable grounds and evidence. Tuition withdrawal or visa-refusal refunds have separate procedures, request deadlines and class-start conditions. Obtain the current written terms and confirm accommodation, insurance, study materials, practical-study costs and scholarship conditions before paying. No annual total, net fee after scholarships or compulsory-Korean course charge is established here. A graduation alternative programme, if required, is at the student’s cost; its price is not established here.

Intake

Spring 2027 undergraduate recruitment has three rounds. First-round applications closed on 23 October 2026; applicants already registered in that round have a document-arrival deadline of 28 October at 12:00. Later published application periods are 23 November at 10:00–4 December 2026 at 16:00, with documents arriving by 9 December at 12:00, and 28 December 2026 at 10:00–4 January 2027 at 16:00, with documents arriving by 6 January at 12:00. The guide explicitly uses Korea time for document arrival and tuition payment; confirm application time-zone treatment, available places and any schedule changes. Freshman and transfer are application routes for this academic unit.
