What you pay

Official figures from the source page on the date checked. Estimates are Waegook's. Unknown is shown as not published, never as zero.

What do I need?

• Application form, academic record check consent form and personal information consent form: filed online on the Institute of International Education site (items 1 to 3)
• Graduation certificate (high school or higher) and transcript (high school or higher): one of an apostille, consular confirmation papers or a CHSI (学信网) verification report ("아포스티유, 영사확인서류, CHSI(学信网) 인증보고서 중 1개")
• Passport copies: yours and one each of your father and mother (a copy of another ID if a parent has no passport)
• Family relation certificate (가족관계증명서)
• Bank balance certificate: KRW 8,000,000 or more, or the equivalent in foreign currency
• Alien registration card copy, if you hold one (해당자에 한함)

BANK BALANCE: KRW 8,000,000 or more, or the equivalent in foreign currency ("한화(KRW) 800만원 이상 또는 그에 상응하는 외화"). Whose name and the holding period are not printed.

Application fee 100,000 won (KRW); not returned once you have applied.

Tuition 1,200,000 won a term (10 weeks). The leaflet prints 4,800,000 won for the four 2027 terms, a 400,000 won new-student support service fee (orientation, required training, registration help, one TOPIK sitting, one year of insurance) and the dormitory, total 6,330,000 won.

Dormitory 1,130,000 won for 6 months, no meals, 2 to a room (bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, air conditioner; shared kitchen, lounge, study room, laundry; shop and cafeteria). Compulsory for language students. 2026 rate, may change.

The English leaflet lists "Family Book / Copy of all family members' ID" where the Korean prints 가족관계증명서, and omits the CHSI option; the Korean leaflet prevails.
