Korea University Sejong Campus

About Korea University Sejong Campus

Korea University's campus in Sejong, the country's administrative capital, established in 1980 and now home to about 9,047 students across colleges of Science and Technology, Pharmacy, Global Business, Public Policy, Culture and Sports, and a Division of Smart Cities. It is Korea University - not to be confused with Sejong University, a different institution in Seoul - and it admits separately.

• First, the thing to get right before anything else: this is KOREA UNIVERSITY's Sejong campus, and it is a different institution from Sejong University, a private university in Seoul that also appears in this directory. English-language search results mix the two constantly. The certificate here carries the Korea University name.
• Second: Sejong is a separate admission from Korea University's Seoul campus, run by its own admissions office on its own calendar. A guideline, a deadline or a tuition figure found under "Korea University" will usually be the Seoul campus one.
• Established in 1980 and now reporting about 9,047 enrolled students - a scale that puts it between a large faculty and a small university, with correspondingly smaller cohorts than the Seoul campus.
• The undergraduate structure: College of Science and Technology, College of Pharmacy, College of Global Business, College of Public Policy, College of Culture and Sports, and the Division of Smart Cities.
• Graduate study runs through the General Graduate School plus four professional schools - Public Administration, Entrepreneurship, Culture and Sports, and Convergence Science.
• Location is the campus's own argument. Sejong is South Korea's administrative capital, where a large share of central government has relocated - which is a direct advantage for Public Policy and Public Administration students, and means living costs well below Seoul for everyone else.
• The campus reports an employment rate of 89.9% and a 66% faculty teaching ratio. Both are the campus's own published figures rather than an independent measurement.
• The address is 2511 Sejong-ro, Sejong Special Self-Governing City 30019; the admissions office is on +82-44-860-1900 and publishes each intake's foreign special admission round at oku.korea.ac.kr/sejong.
• What this record deliberately does NOT state: tuition per semester, the scholarship percentages and the TOPIK or English thresholds. The guideline is posted in Korean only, and neither Seoul campus figures nor Sejong University figures are a valid substitute.

Tuition & scholarships

Korea University Sejong Campus sits in the Mid tuition band. Tuition and scholarships change every year and by program, so VNIS provides the exact up-to-date figures for the program you choose during consultation. The scholarship scale and tuition table for the Sejong campus international admission are published in Korean only on the campus admissions site, and were not available in English on 22 September 2026. This record quotes no figures rather than guessing. IMPORTANT: figures published for "Korea University" usually describe the Seoul campus, and figures published for "Sejong University" are a different institution entirely - neither can be read across to this campus. VNIS asks the Sejong campus admissions office (+82-44-860-1900, oku.korea.ac.kr/sejong) for the guideline covering your intake..
