Admission
We are interested in recruiting excellent graduate
students particularly from foreign countries.
If one is eligible to be admitted to this university, I will support him/her financially. To this end, please send me your resume. I will reply when you are considered to be eligible. If you are highly qualified, we may support as a research assistant even prior to the admission to the Ph.D. program.
To maintain competence in graduate student recruitments and to enable students to focus on their research and studies without burdening over living expenses, each graduate student must receive minimum amount of living expenses (Master KRW >850,000 per month, Doctoral KRW >1,100,000 per Month).
* Monthly minimum living expenses of UNIST Graduate School (dorm KRW 250,000 + meal plan KRW 310,000 = KRW 560,000). Thus, one does not need a car and does not pay the car insurance.
Practically, most foreign people here save a substantial amount of money.
If one is in difficult condition, we may increase the salary, but this is done very rarely.
In particular, if one is outstanding, an extra bonus is paid. Thus, if one is really outstanding, one can receive ~ 2M won per month.
