A scholarship below can remove the tuition line.
What can I study?
- Innovation (7,924,000 a semester)
- Integrated Science & Engineering (8,488,000 a semester, English score only)
Published by Yonsei University. Which of these a scholarship covers is decided by the school.
What do I need?
- Bachelor's degree certificate, or an expected-graduation or enrolment certificate, and transcripts from every university you attended
- PhD applicants: the master's certificate and transcript
- Study plan, typed into the application portal
- Proof of language: an online-verifiable score printout as PDF, or the substitute document your department accepts
- Copies of your and both parents' valid passports
- A birth certificate or other legal document showing your relationship to both parents
- Proof of funds: 22,000,000 won or more, in your or a parent's bank account, or a scholarship covering that much
- Letter of Confirmation (Non-Korean), signed Form
- A photo as JPG, used for your student card
- Optional but highly recommended: up to two recommendation letters, sent through the portal
EVERYTHING IS UPLOADED AS PDF. Paper sent to the school or the department is refused.
The fee is 130,000 won (USD 130 by PayPal) and is not refunded. Nothing can be changed once you have paid.
If admitted, the visa certificate needs the ORIGINAL final degree certificate, apostilled or consular-confirmed, and the 22,000,000 won proof again. A provisional certificate is refused.
Every non-Korean admitted on this track gets the Yonsei International Companion Scholarship, a stipend with no application, for up to four semesters, or six on the combined degree. The guide prints no amount.
Papers in any other language need a notarised Korean or English translation. One you made yourself, or a website made, is not accepted.
Applicants of one nationality add notarised family papers, and bank certificates from one country must come from four named banks. See the guide, page 13.
From the official guide. The school decides what it accepts, not Waegook.
