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 Master’s examination requirements in research methods for British/American literature, Old/Middle English and one specialism subject. It lists four prerequisite courses totalling 12 credits for Master’s preparation, with other-major entrants preferably completing designated prerequisites before semester three, and two common-core courses totalling six credits. These are components, not a verified total programme-credit count. At least two semesters of thesis guidance are listed; confirm the separate thesis-research registration schedule. At least one public thesis presentation is required, normally on the Friday of semester week twelve under the profile’s reference calendar. Confirm the actual department calendar and teaching language. 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.

Spring 2027 graduate application fee: KRW 30,000, payable through the university’s application service. This is an application-processing charge. Tuition, living costs and other charges are separate; confirm the applicable amounts and payment/refund terms before applying.
