Korea Maritime University

1. 1

   The short answer

   Korea Maritime University is a public university in South Korea for students focused on maritime study, transportation science, and engineering. It suits applicants who want a specialist national university in Busan rather than a broad all-subject institution.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The university is known for maritime study, transportation science, and engineering. It is a specialist institution rather than a general university, so applicants should expect its academic offer to be centred on those areas. The programme catalogue should be checked on the university website before applying.

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions channel and check the current entry requirements, document list, deadlines, and any language requirement on the official site. Because detailed admissions rules are not included here, confirm the exact process directly with the admissions office before preparing an application.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee for international students here; confirm the current tuition rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Busan will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so budget separately for those items.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated here, so confirm it on the official website before applying. Also check whether the programme you want is open to international students, what documents need translation or notarisation, and whether you need a student visa before arrival.
