What can I study?

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

What do I need?

• Application form, self-introduction and study plan, and academic record check consent, all printed after the online application (originals)
• High school graduation (or expected) certificate and full transcript, notarised copies with apostille. Transfers add the college or university graduation (or completion) certificate and full transcript showing credits, in Korean or English
• Final education verification, original (freshmen: high school; transfers: college or university, plus high school if not yet graduated). China: CHSI report for academic high schools; vocational schools follow a separate table
• Passport copy; ARC copy (front and back) if you live in Korea; ID copies of you and both parents; family proof with apostille (birth or family relation certificate; Chinese nationals: hukou or kinship certificate, notarised translation)
• Bank balance certificate original, 20,000,000 won or more
• Language proof, original. Korean track: TOPIK, or Korean course completion and attendance certificates (required for D-4 holders). English track: TOEFL, IELTS or NEW TEPS report, not needed from native or official English-language countries

THE BANK BALANCE IS 20,000,000 WON OR MORE, in your or a parent's name, filed WITH the application: a Korean bank certificate plus the last 3 months of transactions, or an overseas bank certificate still valid after you enrol.

The office's visa page (undated) asks for 20,000 USD: in your own name at a Korean bank for a D-4 to D-2 change, or yours or a parent's for a new D-2 after leave. The guide's 20,000,000 won is shown here; ask the office.

Application fee 130,000 won (card or bank transfer), not refundable. No entrance fee is printed: the tuition table is one semester of tuition only.

Expected graduates hand in the graduation or completion certificate by 13 January 2027. Orientation in February 2027 (the notice says mid-February); the semester starts 2 March 2027.

Admitted students get tuition-based scholarships automatically: 30 to 80% off the first semester by language level (see Scholarships).

Dormitory: Happiness Dormitory (Bitsoljae), two-person room, 1,889,920 won a semester (about 6 months) including a 100,000 won deposit, current rate; bring your own bedding. The office's dormitory page says the deposit is extra.
