Where you study shapes your rent, your commute, and your daily life. Seoul and its surrounding Gyeonggi area are the busiest and priciest; regional cities cost less and move at a gentler pace.

Tuition and fees

Tuition (international undergrad)Estimated
~₩6.5M to ₩9.5M per year

We have not verified this university's own figure yet, so this is a planning estimate based on published average tuition for its type and fields. Confirm the exact number on the official site.

How costs and financial proof work

Living costs

Beyond tuition, budget for rent, food, transport, phone, and insurance. Costs vary most by city: living in Seoul runs noticeably higher than in a regional town.

Housing

We have not yet verified this university's own dormitory details. Most Korean universities offer on-campus housing to international students, with off-campus options nearby. Confirm availability and cost on the official site.

How English-taught degrees in Korea work

Admission requirements

The steps are much the same wherever you apply. Here is the shape of it, start to finish.

Do you need Korean to apply?TOPIK 3+ lowest

Whether you need Korean depends on your program.

Hanyang Women’s University lists both English-taught and Korean-taught programs. The English-taught ones admit on an English test (IELTS or TOEFL), sometimes with no TOPIK required. The Korean-taught ones need a TOPIK score, the lowest here being TOPIK 3. Check the language and TOPIK columns for your major in the programs table above before you apply.

Either way, plan to keep learning Korean. Some programs still ask for a TOPIK level to graduate even when classes are in English, and daily life in Korea runs in Korean.

How the TOPIK test works →
  1. 01
    Pick one program

    You apply to a single university and department at a time. Choose the program whose language, field, and requirements match you, using the programs table above.

  2. 02
    Prepare and legalize documents

    Gather your transcripts, certificates, and forms, and get the required ones apostilled or consular-confirmed. This step takes the longest, so start early.

  3. 03
    Submit before the deadline

    Apply through the route that fits you: the Global Korea Scholarship (embassy or university track) or the university's own international admission. Watch the calendar below.

  4. 04
    Interview and results

    Shortlisted applicants may sit an interview. Final results arrive in rounds, so keep an eye on your email and the official portal.

Working part-time

Is this university right for you?

Consider applying if
  • You want to study in English: this university lists English-taught programs.
  • You are still building your Korean: some programs here open at TOPIK 3.
Look elsewhere if
  • You have already set your heart on a different city or field: check that the programs above actually match what you want before you apply.

This is guidance drawn from the facts on this page, not a prediction of your chances. Only the university decides who is admitted.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Leaving apostilles to the last minute

    Legalizing documents can take weeks and depends on your home country's process. Start as soon as you have your transcripts.

  • Assuming everything is in English

    Many programs are Korean-taught. Confirm the language of your specific department, not just that the university offers some English options.

  • Missing the one-university rule

    For the government scholarship you may apply to only one university per round. Choose deliberately.

  • A generic study plan

    Your personal statement and study plan carry real weight. Write specifically about this university and program, not a generic love letter to Korea.

  • Ignoring the TOPIK requirement

    Even English-track students often need Korean eventually. Check the level your program asks for and plan your study around it.
