What can I study?

What do I need?

• Degree (or expected) certificate and transcript: Korean universities originals; Chinese universities copies plus CHSI degree reports in English and an apostilled or CHSI transcript; elsewhere apostille or consular legalisation

THE BANK BALANCE IS 20,000,000 WON OR MORE, filed by admitted students with the standard admission letter request: a Korean or foreign bank, in your or a parent's name, issued within 30 days.

Changing status in Korea after language study: the bank certificate must come from a Korean bank in your own name.

Application fee 100,000 won (Music and Art and Media Convergence voice 120,000) by transfer to the school's Woori Bank account in your own English name, within the deadline.

Fee and papers are not returned. A fee refund is possible only if a disaster, illness or accident stops you sitting the exam: claim with proof within three days of the exam date.

Entrance fee 1,129,000 won, added to the first semester. Tuition 5,453,000 (humanities) to 7,868,000 (pharmacy) a semester, 2026 rates; 2027 may change.

Giving up after paying tuition: file a withdrawal form. Full refund before the semester starts; after that, the school's refund rules apply.
