Graduate study can help you connect theoretical principles with the way engineering problems are framed and investigated. The most suitable direction depends on your undergraduate preparation and the expertise available within the department. Confirm your intended research area, supervisor availability and completion route before accepting an offer.

Who is this program for?

Civil-engineering graduates and applicants with a closely related technical background who want to develop more advanced analytical and research skills. Supplementary study may be required for applicants changing discipline.

Career directions

Possible directions include civil-engineering project support, technical analysis, infrastructure research and further specialist study. Progression into design responsibility or chartered and licensed engineering roles depends on experience and the relevant professional framework.

An academic master’s degree is not automatic professional registration. Asia Pathway can help you identify the questions to ask about recognition in the country where you intend to practise.

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.
• 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.

Scholarship planning: Ask us to check the awards available for your chosen programme and applicant profile. The amount, qualifying conditions and period of support must be confirmed in your individual offer; undergraduate and postgraduate policies are not interchangeable.

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.
