The procedure to
get admitted into Korean Universities
Step 1:
Prepare your resume
with photo in the top right most corner and with professor’s
details who can give their recommendation letter to you at the
end. It will be nice if one can prepare the cover letter as
well. You can find plenty of sample cover letters in the
internet.
Step 2:
Select the universities of your choice and
also have a look at the available scholarships and their
eligibility in those universities for information sake.
Step 3:
Prepare a list of professor’s who are
working in your interested research area by visiting university
website. Email every one separately by requesting him to
consider you for MS/PhD program under his supervision.
Step 4:
If you have got any reply from professor
will be great and you continue to be in touch with him or you
can answer his queries if he ask any so. If you are really
interested to work under one or two professors, you can send an
email reminder or you can make a reminder phone call to request
him to have a look into your resume.
Step 5:
If professor, interested he will ask you to
apply to university for admission officially where you can
mention in the application the Adviser/supervisor professor name
who have accepted you. Along with this acceptance email. Most of
the professors will also mention about your funding. If you are
not eligible for any scholarships or if you don’t have any
scholarships, professor will offer tuition fee and monthly
salary. If you have scholarship also, few professors still give
monthly salary.
Generally, in Korea professors offer
tuition and monthly salary to their students and it totally
depends on major. In management and language studies, the
professors won’t offer so one shall depend on only scholarships.
Step 6:
If you don’t have any scholarship and
professor haven’t mention about the funding. You can send an
email requesting him to provide information related to funding.
Then, he will clearly explain the funding situation.
Step 7:
If everything is clear from professor
and if you are decided to do your MS or PhD under his
supervision, you can apply to the University for Admission. You
can find the complete procedure in the university website. You
will be needed to apply online and send application by postal
service. Also, you will be required to pay the admission
processing fee. In the application, you can mention the
professor who have accepted you.
Even

to university for admission without mentioning any professor
name. If any professor like your profile and then only you will
get admission.
