[2022 Regular Admission] Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Allows Humanities and Sciences Applications Without Elective Subject Restrictions

Hankuk University of Foreign Studies will select 43.2% (1,543 students) of the total recruitment quota through the regular admission process for the 2022 academic year. All selections will be made solely based on CSAT scores. The application period for regular admissions is from December 31 to January 3. The announcement of successful candidates will be on February 4 for the general admission and February 8 for the special admission.

HUFS does not designate specific subject choices by department or field. Applicants can apply to both humanities and natural science departments without any restrictions on subject choices. Those who took Probability and Statistics or Social Studies can also apply to natural science departments.

The weighting ratios by subject area are as follows: for humanities, Korean 30%, Mathematics 30%, English 20%, and Social Studies/Science 20%. For natural sciences, Korean 20%, Mathematics 35%, English 15%, and Social Studies/Science 30%. For both humanities and natural science departments, Korean and Mathematics use standard scores, English uses converted scores by grade, and the Social Studies/Science section uses percentile-based self-converted standard scores, summing the top two subjects. From this year, since the second foreign language and Chinese characters have switched to absolute evaluation, they cannot be substituted with one Social Studies subject.

Korean History is applied as an additional score only for humanities departments, while for natural sciences it is treated as pass/fail depending on whether the exam was taken. The additional points for Korean History by grade are 10 points for grades 1 to 3, with differentiated points from 9.8 to 8 points for grade 4 and below.

From this year, the grade-based converted scores for the English section have smaller gaps compared to last year. For humanities, the scores are 140 points for grade 1, 138 points for grade 2, and 134 points for grade 3. For natural sciences, the scores are 105 points for grade 1, 104.5 points for grade 2, and 103.5 points for grade 3.

Yang Jae-wan, Director of Admissions at HUFS, said, "There are not many changes in the 2022 regular admissions. We have strengthened the stability of the admission process and designed it so that applicants can demonstrate their abilities to the fullest in various educational environments and achieve good results."
