Published by Kangnam University. Which of these a scholarship covers is decided by the school.
What do I need?
- Online application and study plan on apply.kangnam.ac.kr; upload every paper there. After results, originals by post or in person to the Graduate School office (Shalom Hall room 1003)
- Degree certificate (or expected). China: CHSI degree verification report plus the degree certificate. Other countries: apostille, or Korean consular confirmation in the country of the university
- Transcripts showing credits and GPA (with the scale). China: notarised Korean or English translation. Other countries: apostille or consular confirmation. PhD: a recommendation from a professor in the field (school form)
- Passport first page, ID both sides, alien registration card if in Korea; parents' ID cards
- Family relation proof: China, a notarised family relation certificate, or the household register (호구부) if a parent is the household head and one register shows the whole family; elsewhere, a family relation or birth certificate
- Parents divorced or deceased: proof of it. Korean-origin applicants (or parents): proof of losing Korean nationality or taking the foreign one
- Language certificate: TOPIK 3 (general course), or HSK 6, TOEFL 530 (CBT 197, iBT 71), IELTS 5.5, CEFR B2, TEPS 600, or NLTV B2 for the tracks, unless the language is your official language
- Bank deposit certificate (see notes). If you live in Korea: immigration record certificate and proof of address (lease, accommodation confirmation, utility bill or dormitory receipt)
- Expected graduates add the degree certificate and final transcript after graduating
THE BANK BALANCE IS KRW 20,000,000 or more, in your or a financial guarantor's (parent's) name, Korean or foreign bank. A registered foreigner graduating from Kangnam and moving up: KRW 10,000,000.
Original, issued within 30 days of the application deadline, kept frozen for 3 months or more from that deadline. Dollar certificates are converted at the issue-date rate. Foreigners registered in Korea file a Korean bank certificate only.
A guarantor adds proof of employment or business registration, a salary or property tax certificate and a study-cost pledge. If both parents have died, a sibling's certificate with proof of the relation.
Application fee: foreign applicants 100,000 won (Korean applicants: master's 70,000, PhD 100,000). No refund after applying, except for reasons the school accepts (disaster, the school's fault).
ENTRANCE FEE 875,000 WON, ONCE, printed as its own line above tuition (2026 rates). Regular round: a deposit at registration and the balance later; additional round: full payment.
Dormitory: not printed in the graduate guide.
