English-medium learning and an international student environment can also support the development of cross-cultural communication.

Who is this program for?

Students interested in business, enterprise, international trade, marketing or management who want a broad qualification rather than an early commitment to one narrow professional route.

Career directions

Potential starting points include business operations, marketing support, international-sales coordination, customer research, administrative roles and entrepreneurial projects. Management and consulting responsibilities usually require additional experience.

International Business Administration should not be confused with automatic professional accounting or financial-advisory recognition. Asia Pathway can help you compare the degree with more specialised routes if you already have a regulated profession in mind.

Admission and language requirements

• Completed secondary education or an accepted equivalent qualification for undergraduate entry.
• Academic transcripts, graduation documents, passport and nationality or family documents as required for your application.
• English-language guidance includes IELTS 5.5 or an accepted equivalent. Eligibility and accepted evidence must be checked against the current admissions requirements.
• Suitable language evidence and any additional material requested by the university.
• Financial and document-verification requirements must be checked for your applicant profile.

Plan before you submit. Asia Pathway can review your background, identify missing documents and explain the next steps. Meeting a minimum requirement does not guarantee admission; the university makes the final decision.

Tuition and scholarships

Budget per semester. Tuition is charged by semester, not as one all-inclusive degree package. Ask Asia Pathway for the current standard semester fee for your exact major and entry route, together with any approved scholarship calculation. USD figures are indicative conversions; the university’s final invoice and payment-currency requirements take priority.

Scholarship opportunities: Eligible applicants may be considered for entry awards that can cover tuition and university accommodation. Award levels depend on the applicable nationality and entry conditions. Continuing awards are assessed separately using academic performance and attendance, so an entry award should not be treated as guaranteed funding for every semester.

Other costs: Plan separately for admission or application charges, accommodation, meals, insurance, textbooks or materials, travel, visa-related expenses and personal living costs. Scholarship coverage should never be assumed to include these items.

Life and learning in Goseong

Study at KDU’s Global Campus in Goseong, near Sokcho, with the east-coast setting as a distinctive part of university life. The international campus environment gives you opportunities to meet students from different backgrounds while building independence in Korea. This campus is not in central Seoul or Gangneung.

University accommodation can support a campus-based student experience. Residence fees, meal arrangements, room availability and any scholarship coverage need to be confirmed for your individual offer.
