Kyung Hee University announced that it will be accepting applications for the 2027 early admissions until 6 p.m. on September 11. Applications can be submitted through the Uway Apply website.

In this early admissions cycle, Kyung Hee University will admit 3,006 students, accounting for 55.3% of all available spots.

The breakdown by admission track is as follows: 867 for the academic transcript track, 1,331 for the comprehensive student record track, 471 for the essay excellence track, and 337 for the performance excellence track.

This year, the university has strengthened its approach to evaluating records of school violence.

Actions classified as levels 1 to 3 in school violence, which were not subject to point deductions until last year, will now result in a 1% deduction from the total score for that admission track. The deduction rate for actions classified as levels 4 to 9 school violence will also be increased compared to last year.

The format for the essay excellence track has also changed. In the 2027 admissions, the essay exam will be divided into humanities·physical education, social studies, natural sciences, and medical·pharmaceutical tracks.

Among these, the social studies essay section will be reduced from three questions to two. The previously included mathematical essay questions will be eliminated and replaced with integrated essay questions based on prompts using charts and statistical data.

To reduce the information gap among applicants, Kyung Hee University continues to release detailed admissions results on the admissions office website.

The university provides detailed information by admission track and department, including the distribution of student transcript grades for both applicants and admitted students, as well as document evaluation scores, interview scores, and essay scores for successful applicants. Applicants can view these details through the “Check Admissions Results” section of the Kyung Hee University admissions website.

A Kyung Hee University official stated, “It is important for applicants to thoroughly review the characteristics of each admission track and previous year’s results, and to choose the one that best matches their strengths.”
