Visa screening status
Government-certified university, rated excellent

In the 2025 review, Korea's Ministry of Education and Ministry of Justice certified this school for degree programmes and the Korean language programme. Visa applications from its admitted students are screened on the standard admission letter alone; applicants from countries the Ministry of Justice lists separately still submit proof of funds.

It is also one of the schools rated excellent, which get the simplest visa procedure and priority in government programmes.

Certification period: March 2026 to February 2030, reviewed every year.
