International University of Korea: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    International University of Korea was a university in Jinju, South Korea, but it closed on 31 August 2023. It is not a place to apply to now; students should look at other institutions in South Korea instead.

  2. What you can study

    The university is closed, so no current study options are available. It previously operated in Jinju, but a programme catalogue is no longer relevant for applications.

  3. Getting in

    There is no active admissions process because the university closed on 31 August 2023. Any former application, transfer, or transcript questions should be checked with the university’s official contact channels if they are still available, or with the relevant Korean education authorities.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a current fee because it is closed. Living costs for study in Jinju would depend on housing, transport, and daily expenses, so confirm those separately with the institutions you are considering.

  5. Coming from abroad

    There is no current intake for international students because the university has closed. If you were planning to apply from abroad, check whether your intended programme is offered by another university in South Korea and confirm language requirements, visa steps, and credit transfer directly with that institution.

  6. How it compares

    South Korea has 245 universities, so there are many alternatives to choose from. Compared with active institutions in the country, International University of Korea is no longer an option because it closed in 2023, so it only matters now for records, transfers, or historical research.

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 — always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
