- Degrees abroad, as printed for Chinese nationals: apostille, or consular legalisation, or CHSI verification reports (고등교육 자격증 검증보고서 and 고등교육 학위 증명서 검증보고서); a bachelor's of under 4 years adds the earlier junior college CHSI report
- As printed: "※중국 국적의 학생이 해외대학을 이수한 경우 중국교육부 유학서비스센터 발행「해외학력인증서」의 서류를 추가로 요청할 수 있음" (Chinese nationals who studied at a university outside China may be asked for this certificate too)

APPLICATION FEE 50,000 won (PhD) or 30,000 won (master's), paid by transfer in the student's own name during the application period; not paid means the application is cancelled; not refunded. No waiver printed.
BANK BALANCE: no amount is printed. Admitted students file a 은행잔고증명서 on the date 국제교류원 sets, under the Ministry of Justice student-visa rules. Ask the office before you budget.
ENTRANCE FEE 800,000 WON, ONCE ("Entrance Fee : 800,000 won" in the 2027 brochure; the same in the 2026 Korean course guide). Bilingual course interpretation fee: master's 450,000 won, PhD 600,000 won, "별도 부과" (period not printed).
Tuition figures are from the 2027 brochure (posted 14 October 2026; "Tuition fees are subject to change"; no period printed). The 2026 Korean course guide printed 3,200,000 (master's) and 3,905,000 won (PhD) for the same departments.
Tuition is paid by virtual account at KB Kookmin Bank or NH; unpaid means a fail (Fall 2026: 13 to 14 August for round 3). Results are posted on the graduate school site.
Dormitory (2027 brochure): Chungcheong campus 4-person room 1,090,000 won for 6 months (2,180,000 a year), common kitchen; Goyang campus 2-person room "4 Months: KRW 1.3 Million", cooking not allowed. No separate graduate rate is printed.

The English name spelling on every paper must match the passport (a woman with a maiden and married name files proof). False papers cancel the admission even after entry; paid tuition is then not returned.
Evaluation details are not disclosed (guide note 4). Matters the guide does not cover are decided by the school's international exchange committee (note 8).

All requirements
- THE FALL 2026 GUIDE (third additional round, 추가3) IS THE NEWEST FULL GUIDE. The 2027 English brochure (14 October 2026) says Spring applications are in November but prints no dates; the dates shown are the Fall 2026 round
- Nationality, one of: both parents foreign nationals; or a Korean national or foreigner who completed all schooling equal to Korean primary, secondary and university education abroad
- Dual nationals holding Korean nationality and stateless persons are not recognised as foreigners; papers and fees are not returned
- MASTER'S: a bachelor's from a regular 4-year university in Korea or abroad, held or expected by August 2026 (Fall 2026 guide). PHD: a master's from a regular graduate school, held or expected by August 2026. Any earlier major is accepted
- GENERAL COURSE (일반과정) language, one of: TOPIK (TOPIK IBT) 3 or JB-TOPIK 3 (arts and sport departments: level 2); or KIIP pre-test 81 or stage 4, "(단, E, F 계열 비자 소지자 중 학업활동이 가능한자에 한함) * 입학 후 D계열 비자로 변경 불가"
- The 2027 English brochure prints the KIIP route as stage 3 or pre-test 61, with no visa limit. The Korean Fall 2026 guide above is shown until a Korean 2027 guide appears; ask the office
- ENGLISH COURSE (영어이수과정, 50% or more of the credits in English): IELTS 5.5, TOEFL IBT 59, NEW TEPS 202 or an equal recognised test
- English course without a score: nationals of countries where English is the mother tongue or a legal official language qualify with their secondary or higher education certificates
- As printed: "영어를 모국어로 사용하는 국가(7개국): 미국, 영국, 캐나다, 오스트레일리아, 뉴질랜드, 아일랜드, 남아프리카공화국"
- BILINGUAL COURSE (이중언어과정, 50% or more of the credits in Chinese or Vietnamese, or with interpretation): no language test, "별도의 어학요건 없음". The Chinese flexible-semester course (유연학기제) starts in November
- Selection: documents only for every department (박사 서류, 석사 서류). Exception: 교육학과 in the flexible-semester course, documents then an interview for twice the places ("서류 평가에서 2배수 선발 후 면접 시행")
- Places: "제한 없음" outside the quota, by academic ability; a department may stop recruiting if too few apply. Only 교육학과 (flexible semester) prints a number: 6명 (추가3 guide; the first-round guide printed 14 master's and 6 PhD)
- Application by post (the notes add in person: "우편 및 방문 접수") to 국제교류원, 경영관 B101호, Chungcheong campus, for both campuses; a China office in Guangzhou also receives papers (+86-20-2890-8980). Papers must arrive by the deadline
- TUITION: no table in the admissions guide. Figures shown are from the 2027 brochure (14 October 2026), "subject to change", plus 입학금 800,000 won once; bilingual course: interpretation fee 450,000 (master's) or 600,000 (PhD), 2026 guide
- The 2027 brochure prints no period; the 2026 guides bill tuition a semester. Its figures are 3.1% above the 2026 Korean course guide's "2025. 03. 기준" table, the rise the tuition committee set for 2026
- Length (graduate academic page, undated): master's and PhD 2 years (4 semesters); master's 24 credits with thesis or 30 without; PhD 36 credits. Foreign students sit the foreign-language exam in a language other than their mother tongue
- After tuition is paid, a refund asked for because of a visa refusal or delay follows the 「대학등록금에 관한 규칙」 and may be partial (guide note 9). The Korean guide prevails over its translations
