Examine physical activity through an educational lens

• Movement and fitness: physical activity, motor skills and the foundations of participation.
• Physical-education practice: gymnastics and movement-related learning.
• Teaching and coaching: approaches to instruction and skill development.
• Educational enquiry: theoretical and methodological perspectives relevant to physical education.

Graduate study encourages you to connect experience with evidence: why a teaching approach works, how an activity is organised, or how movement learning can be understood. Your detailed emphasis depends on the available curriculum and academic supervision. Discuss your interests early so that the course plan supports your intended development.

Who is this program for?

Graduates in physical education, sport, exercise or related subjects, and suitable applicants seeking academic development linked with teaching or coaching interests.

Career directions

Possible directions include sport and physical-activity programme development, coaching-related support, education projects and further research. Teaching positions and professional coaching responsibilities can require separate qualifications or registration.

This is not an automatic teaching licence or clinical-rehabilitation qualification. If your goal is school teaching, check the recognition requirements of the education system where you plan to work.

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.
