The admissions process for applying to Konkuk University as a graduate student varies, so you should contact your chosen graduate school for precise information. Some subjects may require an interview and/or performance assessment. As well as having a score of at least level three in the TOPIK (Korean language proficiency test), you’ll need to have a good score in an English proficiency test such as IELTS or TOEFL.

The next step is to pay your tuition fees, which will vary depending on your subject, starting from KRW 4,369,000 (~US$3,900) per semester for humanities degrees to KRW 7,427,000 (~US$6,650) for medical degrees. Konkuk University offers a New Student Scholarship, for newly admitted students who achieved high scores in their TOPIK and English language test, as well as the Enrolled Student Scholarship, for current students who have achieved a high grade point average in the last semester. Both of these scholarships are worth up to 50% of your tuition fee.
