Daegu University Scholarships for International Students 2026

There’s no scholarship that is for online-only degree programs.

Both exist, but Korean is still very important. Daegu University’s international admissions information shows a Korean-based route that requires TOPIK Level 3 or higher, which means many regular programs expect Korean ability. At the same time, the 2026 international admissions guide says the English Track includes English-taught majors such as Global Business, Media Studies, Agri-Industry, AI, Computer Engineering, and Electronic Engineering.

Daegu University does not have a university-wide age limitation. However, if a student applies through an external scholarship linked to study in Korea, the rules can change. For example, the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) has its own age rules, and the current official guidance says undergraduate applicants must be under 25 while graduate applicants must be under 40.

Daegu University is a comprehensive university, so scholarships for international students are generally not limited to one narrow subject. There are majors across business, humanities, STEM, engineering, nursing, rehabilitation, design, education, public service, and social sciences.

Daegu University’s standard international student scholarships are broadly aimed at international students rather than one single nationality.

Usually yes, but it depends on the track. For the regular undergraduate international route, Daegu University’s English admissions page says applicants should have passed the university’s own test or TOPIK Level 3 or above. For the English Track in a recent admissions guide, applicants needed an official English test score. Graduate guidance also indicates that language proof can vary by program, and applicants from countries where English is the mother tongue or official language may face different rules. A personal example comes from Kevin Mikhail Revilloza, who said he was “not required to take any standardized test” because his bachelor’s degree had been taught in English, but he later still had to meet the Korean-language requirement during his scholarship period.

There’s no universal minimum GPA for international admissions. That said, strong grades clearly matter for scholarships and competitiveness. Daegu University’s own academic achievement scholarship is based on performance from the previous semester, and external routes such as GKS also require strong academic standing. As a recipient example, Kevin Mikhail Revilloza said he graduated with “A+ grades in all courses,” which is a good illustration of the kind of academic strength that helps applicants stand out.

A good academic background is one that clearly matches the subject you want to study and shows that you can succeed after arrival. For engineering applicants, a prior engineering background is especially persuasive; for example, Kevin Mikhail Revilloza had a civil engineering degree and relevant government work in infrastructure planning before going on to graduate study.

The exact list depends on whether you are applying to the undergraduate study, graduate study, or a government scholarship route, but the recurring pattern is very consistent: application form, passport copy or ID, photos, academic transcript, graduation or enrollment documents, and language proof where required.
