POSTECH participates only in the GKS Embassy Track. Applicants interested in applying to POSTECH through GKS should apply through the Korean Embassy in their country of citizenship, in accordance with the procedures and requirements announced by the embassy and the official GKS guidelines.

POSTECH has university-specific requirements, including an English proficiency test score as a mandatory requirement and standardized academic test results as optional supporting materials.

For an overview of POSTECH, including available majors and university-specific requirements, please refer to the https://adm-iu.postech.ac.kr/user/admission/guide/gks.do.

All GKS scholars are required to complete a one-year Korean language course and achieve TOPIK Level 3 before beginning their degree program. Applicants who submit TOPIK Level 5 or higher at the time of application are exempt from the language course and may begin their degree program directly. Accordingly, unless an applicant has TOPIK Level 5 or higher at the time of application, GKS students admitted to POSTECH will begin their degree program in March.

For questions regarding eligibility or document submission requirements beyond those specified by POSTECH, please contact the Korean Embassy in your country of citizenship directly.
