在哪里就读会影响你的房租、通勤和日常生活。首尔及周边的京畿道最为繁华、物价最高；地方城市花费更低，节奏也更舒缓。

除学费外，还要预留房租、饮食、交通、通讯和保险的费用。花费差异最大的因素是城市：在首尔生活明显高于地方城市。

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.

这是根据本页面事实给出的建议，并非对你录取几率的预测。是否录取仅由大学决定。

• 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.
