Korea University is a private research university in Seoul, founded in 1905 as Bosung College. It is among South Korea's oldest institutions of higher education and the nation's first modern private university. The university's name comes from the ancient Korean kingdom of Goguryeo; in addition to its main campus in Seoul, it maintains a satellite campus in Sejong City.

As a research university, Korea University works across a broad academic range, and its standing as one of the three most prestigious universities in South Korea reflects its reputation in the country's research and education landscape. Its historical role as the first modern private university and its second campus in Sejong City point to a university that has grown well beyond a single campus.

For an international applicant, the key facts are that Korea University is a private university with its main campus in Seoul and an additional campus in Sejong. Because it is one of the country's three most prestigious universities, applicants should check which campus offers the programme they are interested in. Admission requirements for international students should be verified through the university's official materials.

Need the language to apply?

Almost everywhere the language is checked before admission, not after. We prepare for the exams admissions offices actually ask for.

Common questions about admission

Why apply through UNIPROFI specifically?

UNIPROFI is about a well-thought-out application and a strong outcome: we build an application path around your profile, goals and the requirements of your selected universities. You work with mentors who are current students or graduates of these schools, so you get real understanding of the system, campuses and opportunities — not theory. We take on complex cases (including minors and admission without an 11th-grade diploma), build an individual strategy for your profile and goals, and support you through every stage, from documents to your visa.

Do you guarantee admission?

We don't offer "guarantees for the sake of a sale," because no one can directly influence a university's decision. What we do is structure everything to minimize the risk of rejection: matching you to the right universities, building a strong application strategy and preparing documents carefully. If you complete the whole process under your plan and are not admitted to any of the universities we applied to, the service agreement lets you choose: a refund minus costs already incurred (university fees, translations, courier) or a free re-application for the next intake.

What are my actual chances of getting in?

We do not state a universal admission probability because the decision belongs to the university. We instead assess your profile, programme requirements and application strategy.

Can I apply on my own — why do I need you?

You can, but most students end up losing time, making mistakes, or settling for weaker universities. We save you months, help you start at a stronger level, and prevent the mistakes that can cost you admission.
