Admissions and tuition information at Gyeonghee University.

Hello everyone, I'm a parent and I'm looking into sending my daughter to university in South Korea, specifically Gyeonghee University. I have many questions and would like to ask for advice from those who have gone before. I'm wondering about the application process and what documents are needed. Also, what are the tuition/registration fees for international students per year, and are there any scholarships available for new students? I've heard the area around the university is quite bustling, but I'm not sure about the safety and cost of living. If my daughter isn't proficient in Korean, does she need to enroll in a language program (어학당) before starting her main studies? I would appreciate it if you could share your practical experiences regarding choosing a university, preparing the application, and other matters related to the application process.

Hi, I studied at a university in Korea and have experience with the application process, so I can share some insights. For Gyeonghee University, the basic application documents include: high school diploma, transcript, passport, and Korean language proficiency certificate (usually requiring TOPIK level 3 or higher, or you can register for a language program beforehand if you don't have sufficient language skills). The main admission process is usually through the university's admissions office; you can find detailed instructions on the university website. Regarding tuition fees (哱록금), the annual tuition for international students at Gyeonghee University is approximately 5,000-7,000 USD depending on the major, with higher fees for medicine and arts majors. Living expenses in Seoul (near the university) are around 500-800 USD per month, depending on whether you live in a dormitory or rent an apartment. The campus is quite safe, and with many Vietnamese students, security isn't a major concern. Regarding scholarships, the university offers several programs for new students based on application scores or TOPIK scores. If your child isn't proficient in Korean, they should take a 1-2 semester language program (어학당) before starting their main studies to get used to the environment and improve their language skills. Applications should be submitted well in advance; many students rush to complete them at the last minute. In reality, the application process involves a lot of translation and document authentication, so preparing in advance will make things less stressful. If you need more specific information about the major or life on campus, feel free to ask.
