Seoul National University scholarships are being

o ered to international students. Some are fully
funded scholarships, and some are full-tuition
scholarships for both undergraduate and
graduate students. These scholarships are
aimed to recruit talented and intellectually
curious students to study at Seoul National
University. The international students contribute
much to increase the diversity of the campus
which allows students to gain a global
perspective of the world.

Seoul National University is one of the best, if

not the best university in Korea. It is part of the
“Sky” universities (Korean Ivies) which consist of
Seoul National University, Korea University, and
Yonsei University. The university was founded as
the nation’s first national university in 1946. As
the first national university of Korea, Seoul
National University has produced many
influential leaders of South Korea in various
areas such as politics and business. Since its
founding, it continues to be one of the best in
Korea and in the world.

Seoul National University consists of 16 colleges,

1 graduate school with 99 programs, and 10
professional schools. It boasts 2,620 full-time
faculty members, 5,313 total faculty members,
16,511 undergraduate students, and 12,119
graduate students. The number of international
students in SNU is 737 with 3,899 students in
Korean Language Program.

With these many programs o ered in Seoul

National University, international students can
study in a variety of programs that they are
interested in. All of the majors that are o ered in
SNU are taught by the world-class faculty who
have studied in excellent universities in Korea
and in the world such as the Ivy Leagues of
America. International students who receive
these Seoul National University Scholarships
will have the opportunity to study with the best
professors in Korea and one of the best in the
world.

Also, Seoul National University has excellent

research programs. Because it is one of the elite
universities in Korea, it receives huge sums of
research funding from the Korean government
and Korean Corporations such as Samsung and
Hyundai. Because of these funding, the
university has much money to spend in
research, giving many students positions as
research assistants and buying high-cost
research instruments that are not found in most
universities. The huge sums of funding have
supported the researchers of SNU, and they lead
the research in Korea as the result.

Seoul National University Tuition and Fees

Seoul National University tuition for

international students is approximately $6,000
USD per semester. Students need to pay extra
for room and board. However, if the student
receives fully funded scholarships they do not
need to pay Seoul National University tuition,
room, and board.

Seoul National University Rankings

Seoul National University is ranked very high in

global rankings. It is ranked 35th in the world
by the QS rankings, the most reputable global
ranking system. Also, it is ranked 10th in Asia.
Another global ranking system has ranked SNU
very high in the global ranking system, and it is
ranked higher and higher as the years go by.

The high Seoul National University ranking

shows the university’s excellence in education,
progressive research programs, and success of
the graduates. Students from SNU have

Hey! I can’t contact by phone, but I am willing to help

university called Handong Global University in Korea.
They conduct some degrees entirely in English.

Hi there! I’d like to know more about scholarship requirements.

Currently, I have 7.5 IELTS certificate and soon I will take gmat
exam as well. I’m going to apply for the next year’s scholarship.
So could you give me advantages of these certificates scores?

Reply

lh1999  August 17, 2018 at 11:06 am

Hi,

Congratulations on 7.5 IELTS score. To be frank, there are

many international students who apply to Seoul
National University that has a higher IELTS than 7.5. You
will need a high IELTS as well as high GMAT or GRE
depending on the major you are pursuing. I also highly
recommend applying to lower-tiered universities in
Korea that gives you the same excellent education. You
will have MUCH higher chance in getting admitted in
those universities.

I am wondering whetger those people who le their phone

numbers to get the scholarship, have received it just as doing
nothing except waiting… hundreds and thousand of students
want to get the scholarship… just being interested is far not
enough to get the scholarship. There are ready to go links with
approriate information and guides waiting for your clicks. If you
understand at least some english just follow just read and follow
up. If you encounter a particular problem during your
application, then ask specific questions regarding to the
problem… wanting is not enough… if you need it go work for it.
Good luck

Thank you for your advice! It is something that we
wanted to talk about, but we did not have to guts to talk
about it. It is very sad that we do all the work for them,
and they are unwilling to do their part in the scholarship
application.

Yes, you can apply, but I would wait until the junior and

applications.
