ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS Entrance requirements and admissions procedures for the Graduate School of International Studies differ between Korean and Non-Korean citizens. Information for Korean citizen applicants, who do not meet the requirements below, is not included in this section. Those applicants should follow the domestic students' application procedure (click here for more information). However, all candidates, regardless of citizenship, must be graduates of a bachelor's degree program at a recognized college or university in Korea or abroad.

Korean citizen applicants who have completed all sixteen years of education (primary, secondary and undergraduate education) outside of Korea may apply outside of the quota in the same manner as foreign citizens. Proof of foreign education can be made by submitting original transcripts for all sixteen years of education, beginning with the first grade of elementary school.

Even if you have a foreign citizenship, unless both of your parents also have foreign citizenship or you have completed all the years of education outside of Korea as stated above, you cannot apply as an international student (Please

Master's program applicants are not required to have any specific undergraduate degree nor are there any specific prerequisites. The educational backgrounds of admitted students are often diverse in nature. Incoming students may have degrees in engineering, computer science and business, as-well-as agriculture, human resources, music, physics, psychology and many other fields.
