Undergraduate Admission for International Student (Spring 2027) 1st Round

Sejong University’s first Spring 2027 undergraduate admissions round is for international freshman and transfer applicants. Successful students study on campus in Seoul, South Korea, across Korean-track and English-track majors.

Admission uses document screening, with an online prescreening interview possible when needed. First-semester tuition awards are linked to language evidence submitted with the application.

Benefits & funding

The latest accessible official undergraduate guide, for Fall 2026, lists first-semester tuition reductions of 30%, 50%, or 80% for qualifying English-track scores.
The same guide lists first-semester tuition reductions of 30%, 50%, 70%, or 100% for qualifying TOPIK levels on the Korean track.
Eligible Sejong Prep Course students who completed at least two Korean-language semesters at Sejong and obtained the required recommendation could receive a 100% first-semester tuition waiver.
Enrolled students could receive 20%–50% tuition awards based on grades after earning at least 15 credits in the previous semester, or 10 credits in the final semester.
Applicants should confirm the Spring 2027 scholarship table in the current linked guide before relying on these amounts because that PDF was not retrievable during this review.

Eligibility

Applicants and both parents must be non-Korean nationals; because this excludes only South Korea rather than naming a limited eligible-country list, the opportunity is treated as open worldwide.
Freshman applicants must have completed, or expect to complete, primary and secondary education totaling at least 12 years.
Transfer applicants must have completed at least two years at a four-year university or hold a degree from a two- or three-year junior college.
English-track applicants must meet the major’s language route; the latest accessible guide lists IELTS 5.5, TOEFL iBT 71, or New TEPS 327 as baseline scores, with a stated exemption for applicants from countries where English is an official language.
Korean-track TOPIK or Sejong TOPIK requirements vary by major and route, so applicants must use the current guide for their department.
No residency, age, or work-experience requirement is stated on the official pages reviewed.
