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).

Majors for International Students

Below are the actual majors this university admits international students into, and which language track each one uses — transcribed from the university's own admission guide, not the general (domestic-student) major list.

Majors and language tracks for international-student admission are compiled by StudyToKorea from each university's own international-admission guide (모집요강) — not an official government dataset. Always confirm current requirements with the university before applying.

KOREAN TRACK
School of Global Studies (Korean-proficiency waived at application only)
International Trade · Global Business · K-Culture Performance Planning · K-Sports and Dance · Mechanical Engineering · K-Healthcare
Korean proficiency is waived at the point of application, but admitted students must complete a 1-year intensive Korean-language training program after admission before continuing in their major -- this is an exemption pathway into Korean-medium study, not English-medium instruction. No TOEFL/IELTS is requested.
