Who is this program for?

School leavers with an interest in technology, coding, digital products and problem-solving. Willingness to practise programming and strengthen mathematical and analytical skills is important.

Career directions

Graduates may explore junior software-development roles, web and application development, software testing, database-related support or AI-enabled application projects. Further specialist study can support progression towards advanced computing or research.

Software careers are built through demonstrated ability as well as qualifications. We encourage students to consider how coursework and independent practice can contribute to a portfolio, without assuming that a particular employer, placement or job is guaranteed.

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 for the international route generally uses IELTS 6.0, with different guidance for some applicant groups. Ask us to check the applicable benchmark and accepted alternatives.
• 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.

Undergraduate scholarship opportunities: Entry awards and continuing-student tuition reductions may be available. Continuing awards can depend on Korean-language attainment and other university conditions. We will check your eligibility and distinguish the first-semester award from later-semester support; a maximum award is not guaranteed to every student.

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 Gangneung

Make Gangneung part of your learning experience. CKU offers a university setting on Korea’s east coast, giving you the opportunity to build everyday independence and explore a different side of the country from the capital. Korean-language development can make daily life more rewarding and support your longer-term professional plans.

University housing provides an option for students who want to begin with a campus-based living arrangement. Room availability, room type, meal arrangements and the residence period must be checked separately from tuition.
