What can I study?

Published by Dankook University. Which of these a scholarship covers is decided by the school.

What do I need?

• Application form printed from the application site and signed; the academic record check consent (school form); a partner high school principal's recommendation if your school has an agreement
• Freshmen: high school graduation (or expected) certificate, original, with apostille or consular legalisation (China: CHSI report or a legalised expected-graduation certificate); transcript notarised, legalised or apostilled
• Transfers: university graduation or enrolment certificate (legalised or apostilled; China: CHSI report), transcript, and proof of the credits needed to graduate
• Passport copy with a year or more left; passport or ID copies of you and both parents; original family relation certificate (China: a notarised hukou in the stated case); divorce or death papers if relevant
• Language proof: TOPIK or King Sejong certificate, DKU Global Education Center transcript, DKU-certified overseas institute certificate, or TOEFL / IELTS report (English track). Transfers awaiting TOPIK: the test receipt
• In Korea: ARC copy and the immigration entry and exit record (required for D-4, D-2 and F holders). Arts (not Creative Writing): video or portfolio. Dormitory form if you want a room (no form, no room)

THE BANK BALANCE IS 20,000,000 WON OR MORE (or equivalent) from a Korean or overseas bank in your or a parent's name, with the school's guarantee form. File it ONCE, only AFTER admission and tuition, when you ask for the certificate of admission; issued within 30 days before the visa application.

External scholarship holders file the award letter instead. D-4 holders changing to D-2 need a Korean bank statement in their own name, pay a 100,000 won revenue stamp and 35,000 won for the card, and may not leave Korea before the change.

D-4 holders whose stay ends during the admission period must register another language term to extend it. The school may also ask for your balance history over a set period.

Applying with an expected-graduation certificate: the certificate of admission is issued only after you file the final graduation certificate. Applicants abroad must contact the office before applying.

Application fee 120,000 won (60,000 a stage); arts 160,000 (60,000 plus 100,000); Creative Writing pays 120,000. Fail the online Korean test and the second-stage fee is returned (overseas transfer costs are yours); otherwise no refund.

Tuition: round 1 pays a deposit 27 November to 22 December and the balance 18 to 27 January 2027; round 2 pays 18 to 27 January. The 2027 figure is set in January and may rise by up to 5%. KRW only; unpaid means cancelled.

Dormitory per half-year (169 days, autumn 2026 rates): Jukjeon Jiphyeonjae two-person 2,222,350 won, four-person 1,362,140; Jukjeon Jilligwan and Cheonan Bongsagwan four-person 1,466,920 plus a 100,000 deposit.
