What do I need?
- Application form, CV and study plan (motivation and goals, future research plan); academic record check consent for foreign degrees
- Bachelor's graduation (or expected) certificate and transcript (China: CHSI verification report and degree certificate; elsewhere apostille or consular legalisation); PhD applicants also the master's certificate and transcript
- Passport copy (valid at least 1 more year); parents' unexpired passports or IDs; family proof (China: hukou copy and notarised kinship certificate; others: a government family relation or birth certificate); ARC copy if you live in Korea

A DKU advisor's financial support letter can replace the bank statement (one sponsored student per advisor). D-4 holders must change to D-2 before classes start, with a Korean bank certificate in their own name, and cannot leave Korea until it is done.
