Postgraduate Research
The majority of our research Masters programmes and PhDs require that you hold a qualification equivalent to an upper second-class Bachelor Honours (or 2.1), although some programmes, especially PhDs may have higher entry requirements. Please check our course pages for specific entry requirements.
We accept the following as comparable to Bachelor Honours:
Bachelor degree – min. 4 years
Please look out for duration. All Bachelor degrees are 4+ years. There are Junior Diplomas and
Associate Degrees awarded at HE level which do not compare to Bachelor Honours.
A variety of grading systems is used in South Korea including GPA out of 4.0, out of 4.3 and out of
4.5.
Lower second-class (2.2) equivalent
2.5 out of 4 / 2.7 out of 4.3 / 2.9 out of 4.5
Upper second-class (2.1) equivalent
3.0 out of 4 / 3.2 out of 4.3 / 3.2 out of 4.5
