Daegu University of Foreign Studies: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Daegu University of Foreign Studies was a public university in South Korea. It suited students who were looking for a foreign-studies institution in Gyeongsan, though its closure means it is no longer an option for new applicants.

  2. What you can study

    The institution was a university of Foreign Studies. No current programme catalogue is available because the university was ordered closed in 2018, so applicants should look for alternatives in South Korea instead.

  3. Getting in

    There is no active admissions process because the university was ordered closed in 2018. Anyone who still needs formal confirmation should check the university website or contact the relevant authorities in South Korea.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a current fee for international students, and because it was ordered closed, there is no active tuition information to rely on. Living costs in Gyeongsan would depend on housing, transport, and personal spending, so confirm present-day expenses separately if you are comparing study options.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university was in South Korea, and the language of instruction is not published. Before applying anywhere similar, check the admissions status, language requirements, document list, and whether the programme is still open to international students; for this university, there is no current intake because it was closed.

  6. How it compares

    South Korea has 245 universities in total, and Daegu University of Foreign Studies was one of them. Its case stands out because it was a public foreign-studies university that was later closed, so it is not a live application option in a country with many alternatives.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them โ€” always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
