Gyeongbok University will be accepting applications for the first round of early admission for the 2027 academic year from September 7 to September 30.


For this round of admissions, Gyeongbok University has further strengthened the competitiveness of its health and medical fields and revamped its curriculum to meet the demand of advanced industries. Based on its achievement of a 100% pass rate on national licensing exams for seven consecutive years in the Department of Clinical Laboratory Science, four consecutive years in the Department of Dental Hygiene and the Department of Physical Therapy, and three consecutive years in the Department of Occupational Therapy, the university has transitioned the Department of Physical Therapy into a four-year program.

The method of calculating high school grades has been simplified to reduce the burden on applicants. For all programs, only the two best semester grades from among a total of five semesters (from the first semester of first year to the first semester of third year) will be considered. As a characteristic of junior colleges in Korea, applicants are not restricted by the national maximum of six applications for early admission. In each admissions period, applicants may apply to as many as two different departments simultaneously.

It continues to lead with the highest employment rate among metropolitan area universities for eight consecutive years.
