Chosen a Korean university? Your application steps

After choosing a university, identify the exact admission route, schedule your documents and scores, then manage submission and corrections. Selecting a university is only the start of preparing an application.

Locate your stage in the official process

NIIED's Study in Korea sets out university and major selection, application, admission confirmation, then visa preparation and application. If you have just chosen your school, organise the requirements and submission dates for that admission route. Official application process

Confirm these details before filling in the application

• Intake, degree, department and teaching language

• Eligibility and language evidence

• Online application and original-document arrival deadlines

• Interviews or assessments and their dates

• Application fees, tuition and payment stages

Track issue, translation or certification, review and dispatch separately for each document. Compare names, birth dates and qualification details across the materials you already have.

Start personal statements with your own answers

Explain why you chose the major, relevant study or activities, and your learning plans. Then organise your answers around the school's questions and word limits. When someone helps write or translate them, read and approve the content yourself before submission.
