There is a separate document deadline after the online application. Round 1 applicants must submit supporting documents by October 12, and Round 2 applicants by November 27.

What kind of university is Jeonbuk National University?

Jeonbuk National University is a national university in the Jeonbuk region whose official history traces its roots to Iri Agricultural College in 1947. In 1951, Iri Agricultural College, Jeonju Myeongnyun College, and Gunsan University Hall were merged and authorized as Jeonbuk National University, which later expanded its education and research fields.

This special admission is for international applicants to master's and doctoral programs in the general graduate school, not for undergraduate study. Graduate admission requires more than following the university-wide schedule. Applicants need to confirm whether their intended department is recruiting in the relevant round, whether the advising or research field is suitable, and how the department conducts interviews or practical assessments.

Round 1 and Round 2 schedule

Failure to attend the interview results in rejection. In-person interviews are the rule for applicants residing in Korea, although telephone or video interviews may be used depending on the department. Applicants residing overseas are subject to telephone or video interviews. Some departments, including arts and physical education fields, may conduct practical assessments, so applicants must check department-specific instructions.

Do not handle late documents on your own

The university notice includes an instruction to email scanned copies first when documents are unlikely to arrive by the deadline. This does not mean that copies alone are finally accepted for all documents. Applicants who send copies first must check the admissions guide for the original-document deadline and the documents covered, and follow instructions from the Division of International Cooperation.

For some applicants who submit copies, the deadline to supplement originals is listed as February 19, 2027. This deadline applies only to designated items. Applicants may be excluded from consideration if they fail to submit required documents altogether or arbitrarily postpone other documents.

Requirements for academic and transcript certificates, nationality and family-relationship documents, and language-proficiency evidence vary by program and department. Applicants expecting to graduate may have to submit final academic documents after admission. Proof of financial capacity must also be prepared in the specified format and by the specified deadline after admission.

Steps after admission results

Successful applicants should check the result notice for the tuition-payment period and additional documents. The Certificate of Admission is issued only after tuition has been paid and all documents required by the university have been submitted. Classes are scheduled to begin on March 2, 2027.

Applicants should first confirm whether their intended department is recruiting and how interviews are conducted, then separately track the online application date and the date documents must arrive.
