Fluency in Korean is essential for successful participation in graduate coursework, research activities, and academic life in Korea. Applicants must demonstrate Korean proficiency equivalent to TOPIK level 5 or higher at the time of application. Fluency in English is also critical to facilitate communication within our international research community and to support thesis writing and publication in global academic journals.

We expect students to be respectful and adaptable to Korean cultural and academic norms. A sincere interest in engaging with Korean society and contributing to a collaborative, multicultural research environment is vital.
