What do I need?
- Application form with self-introduction and study plan (apply online, then send the printout; foreign graduates write the university's official English name)
- Letter of recommendation (attachment 1); advisor's written opinion (attachment 2, if an advisor is chosen); request for academic records (attachment 3, applicants who studied abroad)
- Degree certificates: Korean universities, the original (PhD: bachelor's and master's). Elsewhere outside China: a notarised translation with an apostille or consular confirmation
- Universities in China: the CHSI online verification report of the degree certificate and the final degree (graduation) certificate
- Transcripts for every year (PhD: bachelor's and master's), including the last semester, in Korean or English, showing GPA or percentage. Transfer students add the transcripts of both schools
- Language proof (see the requirements); expired scores are refused
- Nationality papers: colour copies of the passport or national ID of you and both parents, and family relation papers (non-Chinese nationals: family relation or birth certificate; Chinese nationals: kinship certificate or hukou)
- If a parent's papers cannot be filed (divorce, remarriage, death and so on), a government-issued paper proving it (for example a divorce certificate, single-parent certificate or death certificate)
- Bank balance certificate (see the notes). Applicants in Korea add both sides of the alien registration card (visa valid 3 months or more) and, if living off campus, the housing contract at the same address
THE BANK BALANCE IS 16,000,000 WON OR MORE, in principle in your own name. Chosun University Korean course students, undergraduates and master's students: 8,000,000 won. Issued within 1 month (in Korea) or 3 months (abroad) of the deadline.
Students funded by a university or their embassy (tuition and living costs) may file a financial guarantee from the university president instead. If your advisor is your financial guarantor, the advisor files two school forms.
NO APPLICATION FEE IS PRINTED in the guide, the notice or the online application page.
ENTRANCE FEE 727,000 WON, once, for master's and PhD, on top of tuition (printed as its own column).
Tuition is paid into your own virtual account on 11 to 15 January 2027 (planned); the bill comes by e-mail. Visa papers are e-mailed after payment. Full refund if you withdraw by 19 February 2027.
Final admits must hand in the legalised, translated final diploma by the registration period, or no admission letter is issued. Korean university graduates hand in the diploma by 19 February 2027.
Applicants abroad apply for a D-2 visa at the Korean embassy (passport valid 2 years or more); applicants in Korea change or extend status through the International Affairs Team after paying.
Even with an admission letter, the admission is cancelled if the embassy or immigration office does not issue, extend or change the student visa. Papers are not returned: keep spare copies for the visa.
