Before you apply
Your interests are the starting point. Tell us what you want to investigate, what you have already explored, and the support you need to turn your question into a student-authored paper.
- Choose a program
Check the dates, delivery format, eligibility and tuition. For a flexible one-to-one plan or a private-network internship, contact admissions first.
- Create your account
Use an email address you can access. Students and parents or agencies have separate account options. Creating an account does not reserve a place.
- Prepare and submit
Drafts save to your student account and can be resumed from My Applications. Prepare your academic background, contact details, CV in PDF format, research interests, professor preferences and short written responses. Review the information and application fee before submitting.
- Follow your application
Use your dashboard to follow review, interview and decision steps. Tuition and registration arrangements are separate from the application fee.
Application fee and tuition are separate
The application fee is USD 50. Current online card checkout charges ₩68,000 KRW; check this KRW charge before paying. It covers the application review process and is not the program tuition or a confirmation of admission.
The program tuition is shown on each program page. For example, a program with USD 8,580 tuition has a separate USD 50 application fee. Winter tuition varies by program; one-to-one tuition is available on inquiry.
Before paying, check the exact amount and currency shown at checkout. Read our cancellation and refund policy. Contact admissions for program-specific service details and payment timing.
