Tuition and living costs

Tuition varies by university and programme. Public universities generally cost less than private ones, and scholarships can reduce tuition substantially. Living costs depend on the city; Seoul is the most expensive. We provide current figures for each shortlisted university rather than a single headline number.

Intakes

Most universities admit students in spring (March) and autumn (September). Applications usually open four to six months before the intake, and some programmes have earlier deadlines for scholarships.
