What applicants often miss
Korean international admission works differently from the US or UK. These three details decide more applications than grades do.
Deadlines are arrival dates
Many universities require paper documents to reach their office by the deadline. Sending them on the last day is too late.
Your diploma needs certifying
Foreign diplomas and transcripts usually need an apostille or Korean consular confirmation. It can take weeks, so start early.
TOPIK isn't always a cutoff
At some universities you can be admitted without the required Korean level, but you can't start your degree until you reach it.
