Exchange/Visiting students must meet the following requirements:

  • Maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.0 out of 4.5 or its equivalent.

Additional considerations for students before nomination:

  • Students must ensure financial stability throughout the study period.
  • Students are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review our course list to confirm the availability of a sufficient number of courses that meet their academic requirements. Please note that course registration cannot be guaranteed, as course availability and seat capacity may fluctuate depending on the number of exchange students and the university’s academic circumstances in a given semester. Therefore, we do not recommend coming with an overly rigid academic plan.
  • It is mandatory for students to possess private health insurance covering hospital expenses during their stay in Korea.
  • Students are advised to have good mental and physical health for a successful experience studying abroad.
