Indicative tuition: ₩6,034,163 / year · Scholarships can reduce this — we confirm what you qualify for, free.
Typically for Korea’s most selective universities the formal requirement is the same as anywhere else in the system — a recognised Class 12 for a bachelor’s or a recognised bachelor’s for a master’s, TOPIK Level 3 or above for Korean-taught study, IELTS or TOEFL for English-taught — but meeting it is not what decides these applications. Places are contested and departments routinely admit well above the published minimum, so treat a stated band as the floor for eligibility rather than a target that makes you competitive. Graduate applications in particular can turn on a research proposal that stands on its own and, in many departments, on finding a supervisor willing to take you. Several of these universities also fill a large part of their international intake through the Global Korea Scholarship, which runs on its own timetable and its own paperwork. We do not publish a per-department cut-off for them, because the honest answer changes by department and by year. Vibedu confirms the current requirement for the exact department you are applying to, free.
