Visa screening status
Government-certified university (IEQAS)

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.

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

Bus stops and routes change often, so we do not list them. Open the campus in a map app and tap "Transit" for current bus and metro routes.

Distances are straight-line from the campus coordinates to the station coordinates, so the walk is longer in practice. Sources: Ministry of Education campus coordinates, Korea Rail Network Authority station data (2026-06-30).
