5:22
one uh to go and search about the
5:24
programs. Obviously, a lot of things
5:27
depend on which program you choose. So,
5:29
here we're going to go through the like
5:30
the general stuff, right? An
5:32
international undergraduate admission
5:34
two. So, this is basically uh this is
5:36
just one program. Global open major,
5:38
college of international studies. So
5:40
year one applicants will be admitted and
5:42
enrolled in the college of international
5:44
studies and take general education and
5:46
years 2 to four students will be
5:49
assigned a major in one of the following
5:51
fields of humanities, social sciences,
5:54
natural sciences etc. So uh here you
5:56
apply directly to the program. Here you
5:58
apply to like a general education for a
6:01
year and then you choose your major
6:03
before entering year two. A specific
6:06
major will be determined at the end of
6:08
the freshman year based on the students
6:09
language ability in year one or Korean
6:12
or English. So uh to be assigned to the
6:14
major he apply for topic level five
6:17
seven or higher is required. So
6:20
basically you apply directly to the
6:22
program in the first one and in the
6:24
second one it's more a general
6:26
application. So we're going to go
6:27
through with the first one but you can
6:29
also apply for both admission programs
6:31
at the same time. Eligibility. So first
6:34
we have citizenship requirements. Both
6:36
applicants and the applicant's parents
6:38
must be non Korean. So if like you or
6:41
your parent have dual citizenship which
6:43
includes Korean, you cannot apply as an
6:45
international student. If applicant and
6:47
applicant's parents renounce their
6:49
Korean citizenship, please report the
6:51
following. Read this one. Here we have
6:53
academic requirements. The applicant
6:54
must complete regular primary and
6:56
secondary education equivalent to grades
6:58
1 to 12 in the Korean education system
7:01
either in Korea or overseas. Completion
7:03
or of qualification examinations and
7:05
programs such as GED, homeschooling,
7:07
online courses or language schools are
7:10
not regarded as equivalent. So you have
7:11
to go you have to have gone through like
7:14
12 years of education like be a high
7:16
school graduate in your own country. And
7:18
then we have language proficiency
7:20
requirements. Please submit one of the
7:21
following only those official results
7:23
within two years. 2 year as of the
7:25
application submission are acceptable.
7:27
We have both for Korean and English. You
7:29
know like you probably know all of this
7:31
TOFL IBT or LTS academic and then we
7:34
have topic for Korean. Applicants who
7:37
have completed the entire curriculum of
7:38
secondary education in Korean or English
7:40
as the primary language of instruction
7:42
must submit an official like so if you
7:45
if you went through your uh high school
7:47
in English or Korean, this is for you.
7:50
Admitted students may be subject to
7:52
obligatory intensive Korean language
7:54
training and restrictions on major
7:55
course enrollment based on their
7:57
submitted topic score. So basically if
7:59
you have level five topic or higher
8:01
there is no training and no
8:02
restrictions. But if it's level four you
8:05
have one semester of mandatory training.
8:07
If level three two semesters you get the
8:09
idea. And then we have application
8:11
information application criteria. There
8:12
is no said koda. I just read all of
8:15
this. Uh basically it's just a holistic
8:17
assessment which means like they take
8:19
into account everything. We have
8:21
application procedures how to apply
8:23
online. So we're going to go through
8:24
this. Create an account. Read the
8:26
application guidelines. Fill in the
8:28
online application and upload a photo.
8:30
Check and confirm. Make the online
8:32
application fee. Upload PDF versions.
8:35
The online application submission is
8:36
completed and then send the required
8:38
original hard copies by postal mail.
8:40
Here we have application fee payment. uh
8:43
it's about $150,000 which is around
8:45
$100. Applicants applying to
8:48
international undergraduate admission
8:49
one and two simultaneously must pay the
8:52
application fee for each type of
8:53
admission separately. That's important.
8:56
Notice this is for application. Read all
8:58
of this. I'm just going through the uh
9:00
more like important stuff. Here we have
9:02
required documents for all applicants.
9:04
Copy of online application. Statement of
9:06
purpose. These are uh to be printed from
9:09
the online application system. These
9:11
three a photocopy of passport
9:13
information a family register or
9:16
relationship certificate all documents
9:18
must be translated in English or Korean
9:21
with notoriization. Here we have proof
9:23
of language proficiency which we have
9:24
talked about. Official transcript of
9:26
high and secondary school official
9:28
graduation certificate high and
9:30
secondary school must obtain a postal
9:32
stamps or consular authentication. And
9:35
then we have portfolio and other
9:36
optional login. A proof of bank balance
9:40
uh about 20 million Korean wands which
9:42
is about like $13,000 if I remember
9:45
correctly will be required to submit for
9:48
visa application only those for
9:50
applicants who are successfully
9:51
admitted. This is not you paying them
9:53
about like 13 $14,000
9:56
worth of money. This is this will be in
9:59
your bank. This is just to make sure
10:02
that you have enough funds to go there
10:04
and study for like a year like you have
10:06
enough money. uh like Germany does this
10:08
as well. So yeah, this is only when you
10:11
successfully you are successfully
10:12
admitted. Uh web portfolio required
10:14
documents for relevant applicants. Uh
10:17
Korean ethnicity uh additional proof.
10:20
No, this is for submitting documents.
10:21
Read these very carefully because like
10:23
if you upload even just one document
10:26
wrong uh it might just mess up your
10:29
entire application. Registration refunds
10:32
and visa. Here we have visa application
10:34
guide, admission results, announcement,
10:36
check result is also nine, full tution
10:38
payment and submission of the final
10:41
academic documents and the proof of bank
10:43
balance and then issues certificate of
10:45
admission for visa. So you download it
10:48
and use it for visa application. And
10:50
then and then we have scholarships. Now
10:52
I'm not going to go through scholarships
10:54
very in very much detail because we have
10:56
made a lot of videos about these. And
10:58
another another thing is that you can as
11:00
you can see here scholarships are
11:02
awarded based on the applicant's
11:03
admission evaluation and no separate
11:05
application is required. Scholarship
11:08
results will be individually notified to
11:10
the selected recipients at the same time
11:13
as the admission announcement. So yeah
11:15
uh another reason that I'm not going
11:17
into a lot of details is that like
11:20
you'll not have to apply Korean language
11:22
pre-program etc etc. And then we have
11:24
some of the forms. This form is for
11:27
reference only. It must be completed and
11:29
submitted online during the application
11:31
period. Forms must be completed in
11:33
either Korean or English only. So, we're
11:36
going to go through the application
11:37
procedure. Now, this is the admission
11:39
guide. If you have any other questions,
11:41
just read it very carefully. You can
11:43
leave them in our comment section. Um,
11:46
I'll do my best. So uh what do we do to
11:48
start our application procedure is we
11:50
scroll up and here remember in the
11:53
application timeline or we can just go
11:55
