Precautions when submitting documents for those who graduated from a Korean university

For students who graduated from a university in Korea, please submit English versions of your graduation certificate and transcript.

We recommend submitting English documents because there may be cases where the Korean name on Korean documents differs from the Korean name used during application.

If the Korean name on Korean documents differs from the Korean name used during application, we will additionally request English documents, so please submit English documents from the beginning.

A certificate of bank balance can only be submitted for yourself or your parents, so please avoid submitting your spouse's certificate of bank balance.

Thank you.
