for Graduate Degrees: FAQ
ELIGIBILITY
I am currently enrolled at a university in Korea pursing Master’s degree. Am I

Q1 eligible to apply for the Master’s degree program under GKS?
Yes, you are eligible to apply for our scholarship program if you have not
graduated from a Korean high school or university. Those who have previously
studied in a Korean university as an exchange or visiting students can also apply if
A1 a degree certificate (or diploma) was not issued.
However, if you are selected as our GKS scholar, you must drop out of the
university you are currently enrolled at and start the degree program under GKS as
a first year. The transfer of credits from your previous university is not possible.
I am in the last semester at one of the Korean universities for a Bachelor’s

Q2 (Master’s) degree program and am expected to attain degree soon. Am I eligible to
apply for a Master’s (Doctoral) degree under GKS?
No, you are not. If you are classified as a student who is expected to attain your
Bachelor’s (Master’s) degree in Korea, you are not eligible to apply for a Master’s
(Doctoral) degree program under GKS. However, if you are an Overseas Korean
A2 adoptee or a previous GKS scholar who is expected to or have already attained a
degree in Korea, you may apply for a GKS Graduate degree. Previous GKS
scholars can reapply for a higher degree only once.
I am expected to complete my Bachelor’s (Master’s) degree in August 2021. Am I

Q3 eligible to apply for a Master’s (Doctoral) degree program under this scholarship?
If you submit an official certificate of expected graduation or a provisional degree

certificate issued by the university, you may apply for the 2021 GKS. However, it
A3 is only permitted under the condition that you will submit your final degree
certificate and final academic transcript to NIIED by August 31, 2021. The failure
of doing so will result in the cancelation of the scholarship.
1
My parents and I hold different citizenships. Am I eligible to apply for the
Q4 program?
Yes you may. If you hold a citizenship of NIIED designated countries that are
A4 invited to take part in our Global Korea Scholarship program AND if your parents
do not hold Korean citizenship, you are eligible to apply for our program.
I meet all the application requirements listed in the GKS-G application guidelines.
Q5 Does this mean that I am qualified to apply to all GKS partner universities?
Not really. The application requirements we have indicated in our GKS-G

application guidelines are the minimum requirements to apply for our Global
Korea Scholarship. However, some universities and departments may require a
certain level of language proficiency, research experience and other qualifications.
A5 Therefore, we ask all prospective applicants to go through “University
information” file posted with our application guidelines to check if they should
meet further requirements.
If the university requests supplementary document(s) beyond NIIED’s required
documents, you should submit those materials directly to the university.
APPLICATION SUBMISSION
Q6 May I apply for the program by submitting my application to NIIED directly?
No, you may not. Applications must apply and submit their application documents
to a Korean Embassy where they hold citizenship or directly to one of partner
universities. For any inquiries regarding submission guidelines, please refer to the
application guidelines or check with the embassies and universities where the first
A6 round of selection is conducted since each institute may have different application
submission guidelines.
Even if you are currently residing in Korea or in a different country and you are to
apply via embassy track, you must submit your application documents to the
Korean embassy in the country where you hold citizenship.
2
Q7 When is the deadline for the application?
Each institute (Korean embassy or university) where first round of selection is

conducted decides its own deadline. You must check with the Korean embassy in
A7 your home country or your desired university regarding exact application
deadline.
Q8 Where can I submit my application? Is online submission available?
No, we do not have online application system.

All applicants must submit their application documents in hard copies to the
institutes that conduct the first round of selection. For GKS-Graduate degrees, you
can submit your application documents either to the Korean embassies or Korean
A8 universities.
Before submitting your application documents, you must carefully read through
the 2021 GKS-G Application Guidelines, available on Study in Korea website
(www.studyinkorea.go.kr < Scholarships < GKS Notice board).
Must I submit the certificates of language proficiency (English or Korean) when I

Q9 apply for GKS?
The certificate of English proficiency (TOEIC, TOEFL or IELTS) or Korean

proficiency (TOPIK) is an optional document, which means you may apply for
GKS without it. However, if you are an applicant of highly competitive country,
Korean embassy or Korean university may require a certain level of language
A9 proficiency.
For your reference, if you hold a TOPIK level 3 or above, you will be given
additional points. If you submit your certificates of English proficiency, you may
be given preference based on your test scores.
3
Q10 What should I put in the section of GPA on the Application Form?
Please put your GPA or score percentile for each semester. If you have completed
your undergraduate program with 8 semesters for 4 years, fill in the blanks with
your GPA or score percentile for each semester.
Write your GPA or score you have received in front of the slash (/) and write a full
A10 GPA or full marks behind the slash (/).
For example, if your GPA is 3.5 out of 4.5, you must indicate it as 3.5/4.5. If your
percentage is 85 out of 100, indicate it as 85/100.
If you had completed more than three semesters per year, you may add additional
columns to the term or semester section.
How many recommendation letters should I submit? For embassy track applicants,
Q11 we must submit one original and three copies. How do we make copies of the
sealed recommendation letters?
NIIED requires applicants to get recommendation letters from TWO different

recommenders.
For embassy track applicants, as recommendation letters cannot be opened by the
applicant, you should ask each of your recommender to first write one original
recommendation letter. Each recommender should make three identical copies of
A11 the original recommendation letter, sign each letter, and seal them all together in
an envelope and sign across the back flap of the envelope. Thus, a sealed envelope
containing 4 identical recommendation letters should be submitted per
recommender.
For university track applicants, you should collect one original recommendation
letter from each recommender.
I am planning to apply for 2021 GKS-G and I have already received a

recommendation letter from my university’s professor in March 2020. Can I
Q12 submit this recommendation letter?
4
The recommendation letter should be dated within a year from the very last date
of the application deadline.
Therefore, if your recommendation letter was issued more than a year from the
A12
2021 GKS-G application submission deadline (set by each Korean embassy or
university), you cannot submit that recommendation letter.
Q13 Should I include a detailed research proposal in the Statement of Purpose?
Yes. You must at least describe the general direction and outlines of your study
A13 plans, if not in full detail. Please elaborate on your study objectives in Korea,
tangible plans during and after you complete the degree program.
I will apply through the embassy track. According to the guidelines, I should
submit 4 sets of application documents: 1 original document and 3 photocopies.
Q14 How do I submit my certificates such as transcripts, graduation certificates or
recommendation letters?
All certificates must be presented in their original forms. For example, ask your
university to issue you four sets of transcripts and four sets of degree certificates.
However, if you must submit photocopied documents because the original
document cannot be reissued again, you should submit authenticated (notarized,
A14 apostilled, or consular confirmed) documents in lieu of original documents. Then,
make three more sets of copies of the authenticated documents.
For recommendation letter, please refer to Q&A 11 in this FAQ.
How do I submit my documents written in a language other than Korean or

Q15 English?
5
Documents written in languages other than Korean or English must accompany a
A15 complete Korean or English translation notarized by a notary public.
I am a Japanese citizen, currently living in Vietnam. May I apply for the program
Q16 through the Korean Embassy in Vietnam?
No, you may not. If you choose to apply through the embassy track, you must
submit your application to the Korean Embassy in Japan.
Embassy track applicants must submit your application documents to the Korean
A16 embassy in the country where you hold the citizenship.
In addition, if you hold the citizenship of a country that is not invited to take part
in GKS-G, you are not eligible to apply for GKS.
I am a Chinese citizen. In the application guidelines, there is quota only assigned

Q17 in the embassy track for the Chinese citizens. Does that mean that I must apply to
the Korean Embassy in China?
No, if you are a Chinese citizen, you should not submit your application to the
Korean Embassy in China. According to the mutual agreement between Korea and
China, Chinese applicants must submit their applications to China Scholarship
A17 Council (CSC) under the Ministry of Education in China.
※Likewise, a Czech citizen must also submit his or her application to the
Ministry of Education in Czech Republic, in accordance with the mutual
agreement between the governments of Korea and Czech Republic.
I am American living in Los Angeles, United States. I am going to apply for the
Q18 program via the Korea Embassy. Should I submit my application to the Embassy
in Washington D.C.?
6
You can submit your application to your nearest Korean Consulate. In your case,
you can submit your application to the Korea Consulate in LA. Korean embassy in
A18 Washington and several Korean consulates in the United States will cooperate to
select the prospective candidates.
CHOICE OF UNIVERSITY & MAJOR
Q19 May I choose any fields of study for a Master’s (or Doctoral) degree program?
You may only choose the majors and programs listed in the “2021 GKS-G
University Information” file posted with the 2021 GKS-G Application Guidelines
A19 on our website, www.studyinkorea.go.kr.
NIIED strongly recommends that you contact the universities to consult on the
majors and degree programs you are interested in.
Q20 How many majors and universities can I apply for admission?
If you apply through the university track, you may choose only ONE university
and ONE major offered for GKS.
If you apply through the embassy track, you may choose THREE universities
under Type A and B. Please remember that at least one of your three choices has to
A20 be chosen from Type B universities.
Note that you may choose the same major for all three universities. However, you
may NOT choose three different majors from a single university. Please refer to
the application guidelines.
7
I am planning to apply via university track. May I apply for a major in the field of
Q21 liberal arts and social science at one of the regional universities?
Yes, you may as long as the university of your choice offers a degree program and
majors for GKS scholars. Please refer to the available fields of study listed in the
“2021 GKS-G University Information” file posted with the 2021 GKS-G
Application Guidelines on our website, www.studyinkorea.go.kr.
A21 You can apply to any partner universities, both regional and non-regional
universities, while choosing a major in the field of liberal arts and social science.
For your reference, there are country quota in the university track, and part of the
quota is reserved for natural science and engineering majors applying to regional
universities. Please refer to the application guidelines for more information.
I am going to apply for the program via embassy track. According to the
Q22 application guidelines, applicants should choose up to 3 preferred universities and
departments (or majors). Are there tips on choosing those universities and majors?
Embassy track applicants should understand that passing the second round of
selection will not guarantee an admission to the university that you have chosen.
There are cases with Embassy track applicants who fail to be selected from all
A22 three universities if they choose among highly competitive universities.
Each Korean university has recognition for variety of fields and has its own
strength. Please conduct your own research to find out which university is the
leading institution in the field of study you would like to pursue.
I am an embassy track applicant. I am aware that I have to choose at least one

Q23 university from Type B universities. Does this mean that I can only choose one
university from Type B?
No. You can choose at least one university from Type B. In other words, your all
A23 three choices may not be chosen just from Type A. However, should you wish,
your all three choices can be chosen from Type B.
8
KOREAN LANGUAGE PROGRAM
Is it mandatory for all GKS scholars to pass at least Level 3 in TOPIK after one
Q24 year of Korean Language Course?
Yes, it is. Every GKS scholar must get at least Level 3 on TOPIK (Test of
Proficiency in Korean) within a yearlong Korean language program in order to
proceed to his or her degree program.
A24 Please note that NIIED assigns Korean language institution for each GKS scholar
with various factors in consideration. The scholars cannot change their assigned
language institutions. During the language program, scholars are required to live
on-campus and accompanying family members is not allowed.
Q25 May I be exempt from the Korean Language Program?
If you have already attained advanced level (Level 5 or 6) on TOPIK when

applying for the program, you are exempt from Korean language program and you
must directly start your degree program from September, 2021.
Applicants who attained TOPIK level 5 or 6 after the initial application deadline
must submit the valid TOPIK certificate to NIIED by Friday, June 11 th, 2021.
A25 (*The 75th TOPIK score is the last TOPIK score one should report to NIIED for
exemption from the Korean language program.)
If you attain TOPIK level 5 or 6 during the first 6 months of Korean language
program, you will be exempt from the remaining 6-month language training and
you must start your degree program in the following semester (March, 2022).
9
DEGREE PROGRAM
May I change my final choice of a university for a graduate degree during the
Q26 preliminary Korean language course?
No, you may not. Changing the university or transferring to another university is
NOT PERMITTED under any circumstances. Changing a major is also not
allowed unless there is a structural change in your department or major. However,
A26 the procedure for changing a major is extremely complicated so we ask all
applicants to obtain sufficient information about your desired university and major
before applying.
What if I do not attain degree within the scholarship period? Can I extend my
Q27 scholarship period until I graduate?
Even if you do not attain degree within the scholarship period NIIED has
A27 designated, once your initial scholarship period is over, your scholarship benefits
will come to an end. The extension of scholarship period is strictly forbidden.

2021 GKS 정부초청외국인 대학원장학생
선발관련 FAQ
지원 자격
Q1 한국에서 석사과정 다니고 있는 학생입니다. GKS 석사과정에 지원 할 수 있습니까?
지원할 수 있습니다. 한국에서 학교를 졸업하거나 학위를 취득한 사실이 없다면 GKS
학위 과정에 지원할 수 있습니다. 한국에서 어학연수 혹은 단기 교환학생 경험이 있는
경우에도 학위가 발급되지 않았다면 지원 가능합니다. 단, 2021 GKS 장학생으로
A1 선발될 경우, 기존에 다니고 있던 한국에서의 학위 과정은 모두 포기하시고
1학년부터 새로 학위 과정을 시작하셔야 합니다. 또한, 기존에 이수한 학점인정은
불가합니다.
한국에서 학사(석사)과정 마지막 학기인 학생입니다. GKS 석사(박사)과정에 지원 할 수

Q2 있습니까?
지원하실 수 없습니다. GKS 석사(박사) 과정에 지원하시기 위해서는 최소한 학사(석사)

학위를 제출하셔야 하며, 한국에서 학위 취득 예정이거나 이미 취득하신 경우에는
A2 지원하실 수 없습니다. 단, 해외 입양인 혹은 기존 정부초청장학생의 경우 지원

가능합니다. 기존 정부초청장학생은 1회에 한해 상위 학위 과정으로 재지원
가능합니다.
학사(석사)과정이 2021년 8월에 끝나는데 2021 GKS 석사(박사)과정에 지원 할 수

Q3 있습니까?
11
현재 재학 중인 대학에서 장학생 지원기한 내에 학사(석사)학위 졸업예정증명서를
받아 제출하면 지원가능 합니다. 그러나 졸업예정증명서를 제출하고 장학생에 합격한
A3 사람은 2021년 8월 31일까지 반드시 공식 졸업증명서 및 최종성적증명서를 NIIED에
제출하여야 하며, 제출하지 못하는 경우에는 장학생 자격이 취소될 수 있습니다.
Q4 저는 부모님과 국적이 다른데 지원 가능합니까?
본인의 국적이 저희 정부초청외국인 대학원 장학생 프로그램 초청국가에 해당되고,

A4 지원자 본인과 부모님 모두 한국 국적을 가지고 있지 않다면 지원 가능합니다.
GKS-G 모집요강에 나온 기본 지원자격 요건을 모두 갖추었다면 GKS 모든

Q5 수학대학에 지원 가능합니까?
반드시 그렇지 만은 않습니다. 저희 GKS 지원 자격요건은 저희 장학프로그램 선발 시

요구되는 최소한의 지원자격 요건입니다. 특정 대학과 학과의 경우, 별도로
어학능력이나 연구실적 등 추가적인 자격을 요구하는 경우도 있으므로, 반드시
A5 모집요강과 함께 게재된 “University Information” 파일을 통해 본인이 지원하고자 하는

대학과 학과의 자격요건을 확인하신 후 지원하시기 바랍니다.
또한 국립국제교육원이 요구한 제출 서류 목록 외에, 지원하려는 대학에서 추가
서류를 요구할 경우에는 해당 서류들을 대학으로 별도 제출해 주시기 바랍니다.
지원 서류
Q6 지원자가 국립국제교육원으로 직접 지원 서류를 제출하는 것이 가능합니까?
아닙니다. 지원서는 반드시 1차 선발기관(한국대사관 혹은 대학)으로만 제출해야

합니다. 제출 방법에 대해서는 모집요강을 참고하시거나 각 1차 선발기관으로
A6 문의해주시기 바랍니다. 한국에 거주 중이거나 본국이 아닌 타국에 거주하고 있는

지원자가 공관전형으로 지원하는 경우에도 반드시 본인이 국적을 소유하고 있는
국가에 소재한 한국대사관을 통해 지원하셔야 합니다.
12
Q7 지원서 제출 마감일은 언제입니까?
각 1차 선발기관 (한국대사관 혹은 대학) 별로 별도의 지원서 접수 마감기한을 정하기
A7 때문에 정확한 마감기한에 대한 내용은 지원서를 제출할 해당 1차 선발기관으로

문의해주시기 바랍니다.
Q8 지원서는 온라인 제출이 가능합니까? 어디로 제출하면 됩니까?
GKS의 지원 서류는 온라인으로 접수가 불가능합니다.

모든 지원자들은 지원 서류들을 ‘1차 선발기관’에 우편 혹은 방문을 통해 제출하셔야
합니다. ‘1차 선발기관’에는, 재외공관과 국내 대학이 있습니다. 지원자들은 지원서를
A8 제출할 1차 선발기관을 결정하기 전에 반드시 모집요강을 자세히 읽어보아야 합니다.
모집요강은 Study in Korea 웹사이트의 GKS 공지사항 (www.studyinkorea.go.kr (영문) >
Scholarship 메뉴 > GKS 공지사항 게시판)에 게시되어 있습니다.
Q9 공인인증 언어능력 증명서(영어, 한국어)는 반드시 제출해야 합니까?
공인인증 영어능력시험 증명서(TOEFL, TOEIC, 혹은 IELTS)와 한국어능력시험

증명서(TOPIK)는 GKS 지원 시 의무제출 서류가 아닙니다. 그러므로 언어능력증명서
없이도 지원은 가능합니다. 다만, 경쟁률이 현저히 높은 국가의 지원자일 경우,
A9 한국대사관이나 대학에서 언어능력 증명서를 지원자에게 요구할 수 있습니다.
참고로, 3급 이상의 한국어능력성적을 제출하는 지원자에게는 서류 심사 시 가산점이
부여되며, 영어능력성적 제출자는 성적에 따라 우대 선발이 될 수 있습니다.
Q10 지원서(Application Form)의 성적(GPA)란 에는 무엇을 어떻게 기재해야 합니까?
13
각 해당학기의 본인의 GPA 또는 점수를 기재하면 됩니다. 만약에 학부과정을 4년
동안 8학기로 졸업했다면 각 학기의 GPA 또는 점수를 각각의 빈칸( / )에 기재하면
A10 됩니다. 빈칸의 /앞에는 본인의 GPA 또는 취득 점수를, /뒤에는 총점 혹은 만점

점수를 기재합니다.
예) 3.5/4.5 또는 85/100
추천서는 몇 부를 제출해야 합니까? 공관전형 지원자의 경우, 서류 제출 시 원본 1부
Q11 및 복사본 3부를 제출하도록 되어 있는데, 봉인된 추천서는 어떻게 복사하여

제출합니까?
지원자는 기본적으로 2명의 추천인으로부터 추천서를 받습니다.

공관전형 지원자의 경우, 각 추천인이 먼저 추천서를 작성한 후 그 추천서를 추천인이
3부 복사하여 각각 사인한 후 총 4 부의 동일한 내용의 추천서를 한 개의 봉투에
A11 동봉하여 제출합니다.
대학전형 지원자의 경우, 각 추천인 당 1 부의 추천서를 제출하면 됩니다. 총 2부의
추천서를 제출하면 됩니다.
저는 2021년 GKS-G에 지원하고자 하는데 2020년 3월 미리 대학 교수님께 추천서를

Q12 받아놓았습니다. 해당 추천서를 2021 GKS-G 지원 시 제출하여도 됩니까?
만약 해당 추천서가 1차 서류 제출 마감날짜로부터 1년 이내에 작성된 추천서라면,
A12 제출 가능합니다. 추천서가 작성된 시점이 서류 제출마감일로부터 1년 이상 지난

경우라면 제출이 불가능하니 꼭 확인하시어 제출하시기 바랍니다.
학업 계획서(Statement of Purpose)에 구체적인 학업계획(proposal)을 포함해야

Q13 합니까?
예, 구체적인 학업계획은 아니더라도 전체적인 학업계획은 제시해야 합니다. 즉,

A13 한국에서의 학업 목표와 계획, 그리고 학업 후 계획 등을 제시하면 됩니다.
14
저는 재외공관(대한민국대사관) 전형을 통해 지원하려고 합니다. 지원 모집요강을
Q14 보면 공관전형 지원자는 4 부의 지원서를 제출하도록 되어있습니다: 원본 1부, 사본

3부. 학위증명서나 각종 증명서는 어떻게 제출합니까?
모든 증명서류는 원본 제출을 원칙으로 합니다. 예를 들면, 소속 대학으로부터

성적증명서 네 부와 졸업증명서 네 부를 발급받아 제출합니다.
그러나, 학위증명서나 성적증명서를 여러 번 발급받는 것이 불가능한 경우, 가지고
A14 계신 원본을 보존하고 사본에 공증, 아포스티유 또는 영사 확인을 받은 후, 이를 3부
더 복사하여 총 4부를 제출하시기 바랍니다.
추천서의 경우, 현 FAQ의 Q&A 11을 참고하시기 바랍니다.
학위증명서, 성적증명서, 국적 증빙 서류 등의 등의 증명서류가 영어 또는 한국어로

Q15 되어 있지 않은 경우에는 어떻게 제출해야 합니까?
학위서류가 영어 또는 한국어로 되어 있지 않은 경우에는 반드시 번역을 해야 하며,
A15 번역본이 원본과 동일함을 증명하는 공증을 받아 제출합니다. (번역에 대한 영사 확인

혹은 아포스티유 불필요)
저는 일본 국적이지만 현재 베트남에서 거주하고 있습니다. 지원서를 베트남대사관에

Q16 제출해도 됩니까?
불가능합니다. 공관을 통해 지원할 경우, 일본에 있는 한국대사관에 서류를

제출하셔야 합니다.
A16 공관전형 지원자는 현재 거주지와 관계없이 반드시 본인이 국적을 가지고 있는

한국대사관에 서류를 제출해야 합니다. 또한, 본인이 국적을 소지한 국가에 장학생
인원이 배정되지 않았다면, 지원하실 수 없습니다.
저는 중국 국적의 지원자입니다. 중국의 경우는 공관추천만 있는데, 그럼 중국에 있는

Q17 한국대사관에 지원을 합니까?
15
아닙니다. 중국은 한국과의 협정에 의해 중국 교육부에서 서류를 접수하여 1차
선발하도록 되어 있습니다. 그러므로 중국지원자들은 중국 교육부의
A17 국가유학기금관리위원회(China Scholarship Council)로 지원해야 합니다.

※체코도 중국과 동일하게 체코 교육부에서 1차 선발을 하므로 체코 교육부로 서류를
제출해야 합니다.
저는 미국 LA에 거주하고 있는 미국지원자입니다. 공관을 통해 이 프로그램에

Q18 지원하고 싶은데, 지원 서류를 워싱턴의 한국대사관을 통해서만 제출해야 합니까?
미국의 경우는 지역간 거리가 멀기 때문에 본인 지역에서 가까운 지역의 한국대사관
A18 혹은 한국총영사관에 지원 서류를 제출하면 됩니다. 워싱턴에 있는 한국대사관에서

지역의 총영사관과 협의하여 지원 서류를 처리할 것입니다.
대학 및 전공 선택
Q19 석사나 박사과정 지원 할 때 어떤 분야든지 지원 할 수 있습니까?
저희 Study in Korea 웹사이트(http://www.studyinkorea.go.kr)에 모집요강과 함께

게재한 ‘2021 GKS-G University Information’ 파일에 안내된 학과 중에서만 지원할 수
A19 있습니다. 전공 선택에 대해서는 반드시 지원하고자 하는 대학의 학과와 상담을 하고
지원하시기 바랍니다.
Q20 대학입학을 위하여 몇 개의 대학과 전공에 지원 할 수 있습니까?
16
대학전형을 통해 지원하는 지원자는 지원서를 제출하는 하나의 대학과 그 대학에서
제공하는 하나의 전공만 선택할 수 있습니다.
공관전형을 통해 지원하는 지원자는 “University Information" 파일에 있는 A유형과
B유형 대학 중 3개의 대학을 선택하여 지원할 수 있습니다만, B유형 대학 목록에서
A20 최소 한 대학 이상을 선택하셔야 합니다. 각 대학별로 하나의 전공만 선택할 수
있습니다. 유의사항은, 한 대학을 선택하여 세 개의 다른 전공을 지원할 수 없으며 세
개의 다른 대학에 동일한 전공으로 지원은 가능합니다. 자세한 내용은 모집요강을
참고하시기 바랍니다.
대학전형지원자입니다. 지방대 전형 대학에 속한 대학의 인문 사회계열에는 지원할 수

Q21 없습니까?
지원할 수 있습니다. 지원자는 수학대학이 정부초청장학생에게 지원 가능하도록

안내한 전 학문분야 내에서 지원할 수 있습니다. 우수한 인문사회계열 지원자는
지원에 제한이 없으므로 수도권이든 지방이든 소신껏 지원하면 됩니다.
A21 참고로, 대학전형의 경우에도 국가별 배정인원이 있으며, 그 중 일부는 지방대학교
이공계 전공 지원자를 위한 배정인원이 정해져 있습니다. 자세한 사항은 모집요강을
참고하시기 바랍니다.
저는 공관을 통해서 GKS에 지원하려고 합니다. 이때 대학을 3개까지 선택을 해야

Q22 하는데, 어떻게 하는 것이 가장 좋을까요?
공관전형 지원자는 선발 심사 2차 전형에 합격했다고 해서 바로 대학의 입학허가를

받는 것이 아님을 기억해야 합니다. 공관전형 지원자의 경우, 3개 지망대학 모두를
경쟁이 치열한 대학으로 선택하여 3개 대학 모두 불합격되는 사례가 많으므로
A22 유의해야 합니다.

한국의 모든 대학은 각자의 강점과 특성화 분야가 있습니다. 관심 있는 대학이 강점을
갖고 있는 분야가 무엇인지 알아보시고, 본인이 수학하고자 하는 분야에서 우수한
실적을 보이는 대학을 찾아보는 것을 추천합니다.
17
저는 공관전형 지원자입니다. B유형 대학에서 필수적으로 최소 한 1개 이상의 대학을
Q23 선택하여야 하는 것으로 알고 있는데, 이 뜻은 제가 꼭 B유형 대학에서 1 개만 선택

할 수 있다는 건가요?
아닙니다. B유형 대학에서 최소 한 개 이상의 대학을 선택하여야 합니다. 지원자가 선
A23 택하는 대학 세 개 모두 A유형에서 선택할 수 없다는 의미입니다. 지원자께서 원하신

다면, 선택하는 대학 세 곳 모두 B유형에서 선택하실 수 있습니다.
한국어 연수
최종 선발된 모든 GKS 장학생은 한국어 연수 후에 반드시 TOPIK 3급 이상을

Q24 취득해야 합니까?
네, 필수사항입니다. 만일 1년의 한국어 연수 후에도 TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in

Korean) 3급을 취득하지 못할 시에는 학위과정에 진학할 수 없으며, 장학생자격이
취소됩니다.
A24 또한, 장학생의 한국어 연수기관은 NIIED가 배정하며, 본인이 배정된 한국어
연수기관은 절대 변경할 수 없습니다. 한국어 연수기간 동안에는 기숙사 생활을
원칙으로 하며 가족을 동반할 수 없습니다.
Q25 한국어 연수를 면제받을 수 있나요?
지원 당시 이미 유효한 TOPIK 5급 혹은 6급 성적을 소지하고 있는 경우에는 한국어

연수를 면제 받아 반드시 9월 학기에 학위 과정에 진학해야 합니다. 1차 서류 심사 시
제출하지 않았던 TOPIK 5급 혹은 6급 성적표가 있다면 한국어 연수 과정 면제를 위해
유효한 성적표를 6월 11일까지 국립국제교육원으로 제출해야 합니다. (한국어 연수
A25 과정 면제 및 학위과정 조기 진학은 75회 토픽 시험 결과까지 인정)
또한, 한국어 연수 첫 6개월 기간 중 TOPIK 5급 이상을 취득한 경우에도 남은 6개월
간의 한국어 연수를 면제받아 2022년 3월 학기에 학위 과정으로 조기 진학해야
합니다.
18
학위 과정
Q26 선발 된 후 한국어 연수 혹은 학위 과정 중에 대학과 전공을 변경할 수 있습니까?
선발 당시 최종 선택한 대학은 절대 변경할 수 없습니다. 전공의 경우, 원칙적으로

변경이 불가능합니다. 그러나 대학 혹은 학과 내 구조적인 변화로 인해 부득이하게
A26 변경이 불가피할 경우, 대학 및 국립국제교육원의 승인 하에 변경이 가능합니다.

다만, 변경절차가 까다로우므로 반드시 최초 지원 시, 지원하고자 하는 대학과
전공분야에 대해 충분한 정보를 수집한 후 신중하게 지원하시길 권장합니다.
Q27 장학기간 내에 학위 과정을 마치지 못한 경우, 장학기간을 연장할 수 있습니까?
국립국제교육원에서 지정한 장학기간 내 학위 취득을 못하였어도 선발 당시 확정된
A27 장학기간이 종료되면 장학생 지원혜택 또한 종료됩니다. 장학기간 연장은

불가능합니다.
대한민국 정부초청외국인 대학원 장학 프로그램에 관심 가져주셔서 감사합니다.
