A scholarship below can remove the tuition line.
What can I study?
- Global Open Major (글로벌자유전공학과; transfers choose a concentration), Global Industrial Engineering
- Global Health, Global Sport Management
- AI Medical ICT Engineering, AI Biopharmaceutical Engineering (new; fee not set yet)
Published by Soonchunhyang University. Which of these a scholarship covers is decided by the school.
What do I need?
- First submission: admission eligibility review form (school form, with photo, study plan, study-cost pledge and financial guarantee); high school graduation (or expected) certificate; passport copy; ARC copy if you hold one
- Proof of foreign nationality for you and both parents; language score (not needed for International College departments, except the English track, or the bilingual course); Korean high school record if you studied in Korea
- Second submission: academic verification of your high school (apostille, consular confirmation or a government certificate; expected graduates may file it before entry); full high school transcript; financial papers
- National health insurance copy if you hold one. Transfers add: university or junior college graduation (or expected) or enrolment certificate, its academic verification, and 2 transcripts
THE BANK BALANCE IS 16,000,000 WON OR MORE, in YOUR OWN name, filed with the second submission. Another person's statement needs a relationship certificate; your parents' income proof may be asked. Terms may differ by applicant.
Application fee: freshmen 80,000 won or USD 80; transfers 60,000 won or USD 60. Pay in person or by overseas transfer in US dollars (ask for an INVOICE first) within the application period. Not refunded.
Tuition: the first semester costs 177,000 won more than later semesters (178,000 in the engineering, SW and arts band). The guide calls both figures tuition and does not say why. New students pay the bill minus their scholarship. 2026 rates.
Pay by the tuition bill at a Korean bank, or by INVOICE to the university account from a Korean or overseas bank. Unpaid by the deadline means you give up the place, with no warning. Results come by e-mail.
Dormitory (Global Village and Hyangseol Hall 3): 914,500 won per 4 months (a semester), waived in the first semester and for the previous semester's top students; you pay the 10,000 won deposit.
