## How to apply

Admission is based on your diploma and Korean (TOPIK). A preparatory language year is available.

How admission to Kyungbok University works, step by step:

1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — healthcare, tourism and arts — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
2. Language certificate. Not always: the number of English-taught programs is growing. Korean (TOPIK) can be studied alongside or during a preparatory year.
3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, StudyU helps prepare visa or residence-permit documents for South Korea; the consular or migration authority makes the decision.

After 11 years of school. Yes. The school certificate is accepted directly, no foundation year needed. Admission is based on GPA, a language certificate and a motivation letter.

## Documents for admission

- Passport
- School certificate and transcript
- A Korean certificate (TOPIK)

Exact requirements - in a consultation.

Start with the slowest items — translations, apostille and the language exam: they take 1–2 months. We do the final package check for you.
