Korean doctoral application materials

1.？ Certificate of nationality and household registration:

Generally, it is necessary to submit a copy of passport, ID card, household registration book and public proof of kinship. If there are special circumstances such as parents' divorce or death, you need to apply for relevant certificates according to the requirements of specific schools.

2.？ Education certificate:

When applying for a doctoral degree in Korea, most schools will require applicants to submit academic certificates of undergraduate and master's courses. Undergraduate and master students need to prepare graduation certificates, degree certificates and transcripts for the whole academic year, and carry out necessary notarization or consular certification according to the requirements of specific schools. If there is no single subject or GPA benchmark on the report card, you need to issue an additional GPA certificate. In addition, Xuexin.com's academic credentials at undergraduate and master's levels are also essential.

If you are a fresh graduate who was studying for a master's degree last semester, you can apply for a "pre-diploma" from the school first, and it is also possible to fill in the relevant master's diploma before the start of school.

3.？ Proof of language ability:

Generally, it needs to be prepared according to the specific professional requirements of the institution to be applied for.

It should be noted that due to the evaluation criteria of "merit-based admission" in South Korea and the increasing number of applicants in recent years, it is far from enough to meet the basic language requirements if you want to apply for top-ranked institutions or popular majors. First, you need to improve your language performance as much as possible to increase the success rate of your application.

4.？ Proof of economic ability:

You need to do it in your own or your parents' name. It is suggested to submit the original bank deposit certificate of more than USD 20,000 (RMB 6,543.8+RMB 4,000) issued within one month based on the application date, freeze the designated time according to the requirements of major universities in Korea, and issue corresponding copies according to the number of institutions applying.

5.？ Documentation:

Documentary materials are very important in the application for doctoral admission in Korea, including self-introduction, academic plan, resume, proof of experience, catalogue of research results, etc. Documents need to be written in Korean or English, which is an important factor in the evaluation. Try to avoid typos and semantic barriers. If necessary, you can find a professional Korean document teacher to help you revise it.

6.？ Others:

Applicants majoring in art and physical fitness need to prepare their portfolios according to the requirements of the brochure, and non-art majors need to submit theoretical research results. If there are materials with high gold content, such as award-winning certificate, professor's recommendation letter, internship or work certificate, published publications, etc. It is also recommended to submit it as a bonus item.

Major universities in Korea have slightly different requirements for application materials. Students should prepare according to the latest enrollment brochures of their intended universities, and submit online applications and materials within the specified time. Don't miss important time nodes.

Finally, I would like to remind you that if you want to apply for a Korean doctorate in science, engineering, art and other majors, it is recommended to contact the professor before applying, and it is safer to apply after obtaining the professor's permission, because this involves the professor's research direction, research room seats and other factors. It is particularly important to note that to apply for a doctoral degree in Korea, the applied major needs to be the same as or similar to the master's degree, and the span should not be too large.

In addition to language scores, major Korean head colleges will also refer to factors such as school background and academic performance. When choosing a school, it is appropriate to make an appropriate evaluation according to your own conditions. Blue can help you ~ If you have any other questions, please feel free to write ~
