You cannot change your application after you press Submit. Use Save to check your files first.
ONLY ONE RECOMMENDATION LETTER COUNTS. If several arrive, DGIST reads the earliest one. It must be in Korean or English.
Everything goes into ONE PDF of no more than 10MB, with DGIST's checklist form, uploaded on studyinkorea.go.kr.
DGIST's document list says Korean or English, though its application steps say English. Documents in any other language need a notarised translation.

All requirements
- You finish high school by the registration deadline
- You hold foreign citizenship and neither parent is Korean, or you are of Korean origin and did all of primary, middle and high school outside Korea
- Korean citizens, including dual citizens, cannot apply as international students
- A GED, homeschooling or an online-course qualification is NOT accepted. School cyber learning during COVID is, with an explanation
- There is no transfer route: everyone enters as a first-year student
- A foreign student at a Korean high school can apply. An international school in Korea does not count as a foreign school
- You apply on studyinkorea.go.kr, from 10:00 on 2 December 2026 to 18:00 on 28 January 2027 (Korea time)
- You may accept only one university offer: holding two gets the admission revoked. Admission cannot be deferred, and missing the interview disqualifies you
- All lectures, basic science and major courses included, are in English. Some general electives are in Korean or English
- Every international student also gets 328,500 won a month in financial aid and 330,000 a month (DGISTep) while keeping at least 10 credits, plus a 500,000 won settlement grant once
- A high GPA earns a further 1,500,000 won a semester (DGISTep-S), from your second semester
- There is no minimum score requirement for EPT
- Only recommendation letters written by an academic advisor are accepted
- You cannot submit application documents after the deadline
- If you have only one legal guardian, that guardian's citizenship counts for eligibility (send papers proving guardianship and custody)
