Can I pick more than one university under the GKS Embassy Track, and how many?
Under the GKS Embassy Track you can choose up to three different universities, and at least one must be a Type B school. By contrast, the University Track lets you apply to only one university and one department. Check the official GKS guidelines for the latest rules.
Under the Global Korea Scholarship Embassy Track, you can choose up to three different universities, and at least one must be a Type B school. The University Track works differently, because you apply directly to one university and one department. Check the official guidelines for the latest rules.
Embassy Track vs University Track
| Track | How you apply | University rule |
|---|---|---|
| Embassy Track | Through the Korean Embassy in your home country | Up to three universities, at least one Type B |
| University Track | Directly to one university in South Korea | One university and one department only |
Programmes Within the Tracks
- Embassy Track categories include General, Overseas Koreans and R-GKS (Regional University) for study outside the capital city.
- University Track options include Bachelor's (four-year), Associate (two-to-three-year technical degree) and UIC, which focuses on science and engineering with hands-on work experience.
My Advice
List your three universities with care, making sure at least one is a Type B school, and match each choice to your course. Read the current GKS guidelines before submitting, because track rules and quotas can change.
