2027 GKS Undergraduate University Track: Deadlines and Original-Document Submission Stages Vary by University

The 2027 Global Korea Scholarship for Undergraduate Degrees (GKS-U) University Track materials released by the National Institute for International Education show that application deadlines and submission methods vary by university. For selected UIC bachelor’s programs, Konyang University closes on October 8, Sungshin Women’s University on October 13, and KOREATECH on October 23 at 6:00 p.m. Inje University requires the documents to arrive by October 30 at 5:00 p.m.

The university selection information attached to the National Institute for International Education notice dated September 23 covers not only application periods but also submission methods and later screening schedules. Because the University Track is a route in which participating universities accept applications under their own selection plans, applicants cannot prepare around a single nationwide deadline.

UIC bachelor’s programs: deadlines and application methods differ even within October

The universities below are selected examples from the UIC bachelor’s programs in the official attachment that illustrate differences in deadlines or submission methods. The full list of participating universities is available in the notice attachment.

Inje University’s deadline is based on the arrival time, not the mailing date. Sungshin Women’s University requires applicants to prepare both the online application and document submission, while Kookmin University instructs applicants to email scanned copies before sending the documents by mail. The 6:00 p.m. deadline stated for KOREATECH or the 5:00 p.m. arrival deadline stated for Inje University cannot be applied to universities for which the attachment gives no closing time.

The stage for submitting originals also differs by university

Inje University states that all documents, including apostilled documents, must be submitted for the 1st-stage screening. By contrast, KOREATECH says original documents are requested from applicants selected for an interview. Even within the same University Track, the documents required at the initial application stage and the scope of originals to be sent later differ.

For Kyungbok University’s UIC associate degree program, the email application deadline is November 5, while the postal application deadline is November 20. This item must first be distinguished by degree level from the UIC bachelor’s programs in the table above. The later screening, interview and result-announcement dates for Daegu University and Sungshin Women’s University are marked as planned.

After the comparison table, check the relevant notice from your chosen university

The schedule in this article is organized based on the National Institute for International Education attachment released on September 23. Because the attachment also includes university-specific notice links, applicants can continue by checking the latest notice from their chosen university for the submission address, forms, closing time and original-document stage. Questions about application procedures should also be directed to the relevant university, in line with the institute’s guidance.
