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, on HILS's form Forms
• The required essays, on paper and by email to lawschool@handong.edu, 500 words each at most
• Two recommendation letters, at least one from a teacher or work supervisor
• Official transcripts from every institution you attended, degree or not
• Diploma or certificate of pending graduation. Graduates of one country's universities add a national degree verification, see the HILS page
• Birth certificate
• Your passport, and your parents' passports or ID cards showing their citizenship
• Original English score report, unless you are exempt
• Personal information consent form
• Application fee of USD 100, not refunded, by money order or another way HILS agrees

YOUR PACKET MUST ARRIVE BY 27 OCTOBER 2026. A postmark does not count, and email or fax is not accepted. You may also hand it in at the HILS office.

A transcript or diploma not in English needs its translation notarised by the Korean embassy or consulate, sent with the original.

Certificates must have been issued within the last six months.

General Admission is a separate route with a 100,000 won fee, forms printed from Jinhak Apply, and a 14 October deadline. You cannot apply to both.

Applicants of one nationality named on the HILS page must also send a family register.
