Seoul National University Scholarships 2027

Seoul National University is Korea's oldest and most internationally recognised national university, admitting international undergraduates through a Global Talent Special Admission that runs twice a year for a March or September start. Tuition is the same for Korean and international students and is set per college, from about KRW 2.44 million a semester in humanities and law to over KRW 5 million a semester once a medical student reaches the clinical years. Admission is a single-stage document review with no separate quota, so competition ratios are not published.
