A convergence focus within the graduate department
- AI Convergence: choose an interdisciplinary direction within the department’s graduate offering.
- Common foundations: study through a shared core and required-subject framework.
- Connections across fields: consider how your existing academic background relates to AI-related questions.
- Study planning: identify a realistic direction supported by the available curriculum and supervision.
The department brings Artificial Intelligence, AI Convergence and Big Data Management together through a flexible shared curriculum. AI Convergence should be considered a focus within that structure, rather than a promise of separate compulsory modules covering every industry. Your individual interests need to be discussed against the current course plan.
Who is this program for?
Bachelor’s graduates who want to connect AI-related study with an existing discipline or professional interest. The university must assess whether your academic preparation fits the intended graduate work.
Career directions
Potential directions include interdisciplinary technology projects, digital-service development, applied research support and further study. The kinds of roles you can pursue depend on your original qualification, technical development and the focus of your graduate learning.
This route is most useful when you can explain what you want to connect AI with and why. Asia Pathway can help you clarify that direction and compare it with a more concentrated AI or data-management focus.
Admission and language requirements
- A recognised bachelor’s degree or accepted equivalent, with academic preparation suitable for the intended graduate field.
- Academic transcripts, graduation documents, passport and nationality or family documents as required for your application.
- Submit English-language evidence appropriate to the current graduate route. Do not assume the undergraduate benchmark automatically applies to postgraduate admission.
- 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.
Graduate entry scholarship: International graduate freshmen may qualify for a 40% first-semester tuition scholarship. The award applies to tuition, not the complete cost of studying in Seoul. Confirm its inclusion in your offer and ask separately about conditions for later semesters.
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 Seoul
Combine university study with everyday life in Seoul. KBU’s Nowon-gu location provides a base for discovering the capital while settling into a university community with a Christian educational identity. Consider how the university’s values and campus expectations fit the environment you want for your studies.
Asia Pathway can help you ask about accommodation options and plan a realistic living budget. Do not assume that a tuition scholarship automatically includes housing, meals or other everyday expenses.
