Korea University Seoul Campus will recruit a total of 1,715 students in the 2022 regular admission. This year, it has established an Equal Opportunity Admission track to select 244 students, and will select 1,471 students through the general admission track.


Most selections are based solely on CSAT scores, but the College of Medicine and College of Nursing conduct personality and aptitude interviews without separate scoring for disqualification purposes. The Department of Physical Education and the Department of Design and Plastic Arts combine 70% CSAT and 30% practical skills, while the Department of Cyber Defense combines 80% CSAT with 20% military interview and physical fitness test scores.


The application period for regular admission is from the 31st to January 3rd of next year. The CSAT reflection ratio for humanities departments (excluding the Division of Liberal Arts) and the Departments of Home Economics and Physical Education includes Korean, Math, English, two subjects from Social Studies, and Korean History. Korean and Math each account for about 36%, and Social Studies about 29%.


For natural science departments, Korean, Math, English, two subjects from Science, and Korean History are reflected. Korean and Science account for about 31%, and Math about 38%. The College of Nursing, Department of Computer Science, and Division of Liberal Arts select a certain proportion of their recruits separately from humanities and natural sciences.

In all humanities and natural science departments, English scores are deducted by grade starting from grade 2, and Korean History awards additional points for humanities grades 1 to 3 and natural science grades 1 to 4.


The Sejong Campus will select a total of 656 students through regular admission. It is divided into general admission and special admission (Equal Educational Opportunity, Graduates of Specialized High Schools, and Special Education Candidates). Only CSAT scores are considered, with Korean and Math using standard scores, English using grades, and Social Studies using percentiles. The International Sports Department in Group A separately reflects 30% of the practical exam. Departments are evenly distributed, allowing applications to two or more groups, but the CSAT subject reflection ratios vary by department.



The application period for Sejong Campus is from the 30th to the 3rd of next month. There are no restrictions on the choice of Math subjects for natural science applicants, but they must take a science subject. Applicants who took the CSAT advanced science subjects can apply to all humanities and physical education departments.
