What can I study?

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

What do I need?

• Application set printed after the online application: form, study plan, consents, notice
• Bachelor's (and for a PhD, master's) graduation certificate and full transcript: Korean schools, originals; other countries, apostille or consular confirmation (a transcript may instead be a notarised translation)
• Schools in China: CHSI English reports (qualification and degree), a notarised transcript translation, and copies of the degree and graduation certificates
• PhD applicants: the master's papers as originals, the bachelor's papers as copies. A transcript must show the full-marks scale or a percentage score
• Language certificate: any score valid during your round's application period (multilingual programme exempt; STEM applicants recommended by an adviser may send it within six months of entry)
• Passport copies of you and your parents (alien registration card if in Korea); a parent with no passport may send a national ID card instead
• Family relationship or birth certificate, Korean or English, notarised, issued within six months (Chinese: household register or kinship certificate)
• Parents divorced or a parent deceased: add the divorce or death certificate. Single-parent family: add a paper that proves it
• Bank balance certificate
• Portfolio for performing arts (profile) and fine art (ten works on USB); career certificate if relevant

THE BANK BALANCE IS USD 16,000 OR MORE if you live abroad, 20,000,000 WON if you live in Korea (original), asked only from student-visa applicants. The English guide still says USD 20,000; the Korean guide prevails.

Application fee 120,000 won (Music 160,000, with its 40,000 practical exam fee). Refunded if you cancel before the deadline; after it, only for a disaster, the school's fault, illness, accident or death, with proof.

Missing papers or not meeting the eligibility rules means rejection, and the fee is not refunded.

Tuition basis Fall 2026 (second semester of 2026), may change after the tuition review; student council fee 30,000 won. Integrated course: master's tuition for semesters 1 to 4, PhD tuition for 5 to 8.

Expected graduates hand in the final degree certificate before the semester starts, or the admission may be cancelled.
