What do I need?
- Three photos (35 x 45 mm); passport copy (unexpired); visa issuance confirmation application, and the course application, study plan and pledge (Korean or English, photo attached)
- Final schooling proof with an apostille or consular confirmation (original), and the full transcript of the last school (original). Schools in China: as the guide sets out (CHSI, or provincial education office certificate)
- Schooling finished in Korea needs no apostille or consular confirmation. A Korean consular stamp is valid for 3 months
- Nationality and family proof: an original proving the nationality of you and your parents and your relation (notarised within 1 year; death or divorce papers if needed). The guide lists the document name for 15 countries
- Bank balance proof (see the notes); parents' employment and income certificates stating job and monthly pay (notarised translation)
- China, as printed: a hukou showing the family (notarised translation, original) and copies of the resident ID cards, parents included; if your hukou is separate from your family's, a notarised kinship certificate too
- Parents' bank statements for the last 6 months, each parent: printed as "베트남만 해당" (Vietnam only)
THE BANK BALANCE IS 8,000,000 WON OR MORE: an original certificate from a Korean or overseas bank, issued within 30 days of filing.
Rules printed for named countries, copied whole. Vietnam: "베트남 내 한국계 은행(우리은행, KEB하나은행, 신한은행)에서 발급한 한국 유학경비 보증금 예치 확인서 원본(1년 이상 예치, 금액 KRW 8,000,000원 이상) 우대".
In English: a Korean bank in Vietnam (Woori, KEB Hana, Shinhan) confirming a study deposit of 8,000,000 won or more held 1 year or more is preferred.
Uzbekistan: "부모 소득 및 KRW 8,000,000원 이상 예치된 우즈베키스탄 소재 KDB 은행 발행 잔고증명서(3개월 이상 잔액 유지 필수)". Other countries: "6개월 이상 예금 잔고증명서 원본(KRW 8,000,000원 이상)".
In English: Uzbekistan, parents' income proof and a KDB bank (in Uzbekistan) certificate of 8,000,000 won or more, kept 3 months or more. Other countries: an original certificate of 8,000,000 won or more held 6 months or more.
NO APPLICATION FEE IS PRINTED in the Fall 2026 guide, its notice or the course pages.
Housing: 1,500,000 won, printed as "교외 생활관 거주" (an off-campus residence), gas, electricity and water extra, period not printed; any balance is refunded. The Spring 2026 poster said 10 weeks with one weekday meal.
The undated course page still says every trainee lives in the campus dormitory (10 weeks, 3 meals, 2024 basis). The Fall 2026 guide is newer.
The Spring 2026 posters (Korean and English) priced tuition at 2,400,000 won for 10 weeks; the Fall 2026 guide, newer, prices it for 20 weeks (6 months).

All requirements
- Foreigners with high school graduation or an equal or higher level of schooling (notice of 2026-05-26). Apply by e-mail with the papers, then the originals in person or by post

- Selection by documents, then an interview for those who pass the documents. The school then sends the bill; after payment it issues the admission papers and applies for the visa issuance number

- Each term also gets its own notice. Last year the winter notice came out on 14 October 2025 (applications to mid-October). No Winter 2026 notice was on the board on 19 or 21 October 2026: check it before you plan
- The application form offers a 6-month course or a 1-year course. Fees: 2,400,000 won for 6 months (20 weeks, 400 hours); 4,800,000 won for 1 year (40 weeks, 800 hours)

- Insurance about 100,000 won for 6 months; National Health Insurance is compulsory after 6 months. Pay in the applicant's own name to the school's bank account printed in the guide
- Undated course page: course completers get KNU's own TOPIK-3-level qualification for undergraduate entry, and up to 12 Korean-course credits can count when they enter a KNU bachelor's (80% attendance, grades 70% or more)
- Going on to a KNU degree straight after the course: the degree bank balance drops to 8,000,000 won and a 1,000,000 won admission grant is paid after the first semester (2027 degree guides)
