The academic year in South Korea is divided into two main semesters: spring and fall. Applications for the spring semester (March admission) are typically accepted between September and November of the previous year, while applications for the fall semester (September admission) are generally open between April and June of the same year. Since application deadlines may vary by university, prospective students should check the admission schedule in advance through the websites of their desired universities.
A passport is required for application, so it is recommended to have it issued in advance.
