To reward outstanding achievement the University of Plymouth offers scholarship schemes to help towards funding your studies. You could get up to 50% off your tuition fees in your first year.
Undergraduate
We require applicants to have completed a Korean High School Diploma 고등학교 졸업장 / 고등학교 과정 수료증 or a High School Graduation Equivalency Examination and an International Foundation year or equivalent.
Our partner college on campus, University of Plymouth International College (UPIC), offers a wide variety of foundation courses.
Postgraduate
We require applicants to hold either a bachelor’s degree (Haksa 학사) with a high GPA (minimum 75%/2.8 GPA) or a master’s degree (Suksa 석사) from a prestigious Korean university. The Suksa is considered comparable to a British master's degree standard; please refer to the degree classification below:
South Korean Degree classification (mark) | South Korean Degree classification (letter) | South Korean Degree classification (GPA out of 4.5) | UK Degree equivalent | |
90–100 | A/A+ | 4.0/4.5 | 1st | |
