All requirements
- MASTER'S and integrated: you and both parents are foreign nationals and you hold (or will hold) a bachelor's, OR you did all of primary school to university abroad. PhD: the same with a master's. Degree by 28 February 2027
- Integrated master's and PhD also needs a recommendation from a supervisor in the department. Overseas homeschooling, cyber learning, adult education and school-leaving exams do not count. Dual nationals cannot apply

- Scores are valid for 2 years and must be valid on 18 December 2026. Some departments set a higher TOPIK floor (see the majors list)
- Departments marked "recommendation accepted" take the school's recommendation recognising academic ability (수학능력 인정 추천서, form 4)

- You may apply to one department only and cannot enrol at another graduate school at the same time. There is no fixed number of places (outside the quota)
