What can I study?

Published by The Catholic University of Korea. Which of these a scholarship covers is decided by the school.

What do I need?

• Application printed after applying online (signed) and the academic record check consent (school form)
• High school diploma (or expected): China, the education ministry certification report for general high schools (see the guide's table); elsewhere a notarised translation with consular legalisation or apostille, original
• Full high school transcripts with notarised translation and apostille (China) or consular legalisation or apostille (elsewhere); passport copy (photo page, valid six months or more)
• ID copies of you and both parents (passport copies accepted; IDs not in English or Chinese need a notarised translation)
• Family relationship proof issued on or after 1 March 2026 (China: notarised kinship certificate; elsewhere a government birth certificate with notarised translation); extra proof if parents are divorced or deceased
• If relevant: alien registration card copy (residents of Korea), TOPIK report or CUK institute certificate, practical-exam USB (music and voice)
• Transfers: college or university graduation or completion certificate and full transcripts instead of the high school papers (China: CHSI report in English plus the certificate copy); four-year completers add the high school diploma

THE BANK BALANCE IS 20,000,000 WON OR MORE, filed only after the result by admitted students (separate notice). The guide does not say in whose name.

Application fee 130,000 won (arts departments 150,000); not refunded after the window except by committee decision for causes outside your control.

Tuition due 12 to 15 January 2027 by 16:00 Korean time; visa documents issued about 21 January; classes from 2 March 2027.

Visa refused: admission cancelled and tuition refunded in full. No visa or no arrival within two weeks of the semester start can cancel admission. No leave of absence in the first semester.

Educational papers are checked against the originals: send one apostilled or consul-confirmed original plus one copy that includes the apostille or consular page.

Expected graduates: before entry, send the diploma copy, certificate and final transcript (notarised translation, apostille or consular check), or admission is cancelled; without them no visa letter is issued.

Health insurance is compulsory for international students throughout their studies; details go to registered students.

Dormitory (dormitory site; the guide prints none): Stephano Hall 790,000 won (four-person) to 1,308,000 (two-person) for 16 weeks; Andrea Hall 1,508,000 to 1,680,000.

Off-campus Francesco Hall: 1,800,000 to 2,280,000 won for 16 weeks, utilities included, plus a 500,000 facility deposit paid each semester.

• Below TOPIK 3 you take compulsory Korean classes (freshmen two semesters, transfers one), counted as general credits. E-mail an exempting TOPIK score to [email protected] by 10 February

• Year-3 transfers: a junior college degree, or two years (65 credits) at a Korean four-year university, or two years abroad with half the credits. Transfers who were ever enrolled at CUK cannot apply

• Medicine and Nursing admit foreigners schooled entirely abroad through a separate admissions office track; its 2027 round ran in July and August 2026
• To graduate, Korean-track students submit TOPIK 4 (arts TOPIK 3). Tuition is due 12 to 15 January 2027 by 16:00 Korean time; unpaid tuition cancels the offer
