Program at a glance

Qualification: Bachelor’s degree; choose one of the two specialisations.

Study length: Normally four years, across eight semesters.

Location: Ajou University, Suwon, South Korea.

Teaching language: English Track. Required Korean-language courses are also part of the curriculum.

Choose your business specialisation

International Business: Develop a grounding in strategy, marketing, finance, accounting, human resources and operations, with an international business perspective. This option suits students interested in understanding how organisations compete and work across markets.

IT Business: Explore the connection between business and technology, including data-informed decisions, information systems and digital innovation. This is a business-focused specialisation, rather than a computer engineering degree.

An English Track with Korean-language development

The English Track offers a route into business study without requiring Korean-track language proficiency for admission. The curriculum also includes compulsory Korean-language study, so it should not be understood as an entirely English-only degree. Students must meet the university’s academic and applicable English-language graduation requirements.

Entry requirements

• High-school graduation, or a qualification accepted as equivalent by Ajou University.
• The applicant and both parents must meet the university’s non-Korean nationality requirements for international admission.
• IELTS 5.5, or an accepted TOEFL iBT or NEW TEPS equivalent; specified English-speaking-country or schooling exemptions may apply.
• Academic records, graduation evidence, passport and family-nationality documentation, plus a personal statement and study plan.
• Document screening and an English-Track freshman admission interview.

These two freshman specialisations are not advertised as a transfer-entry route. Contact Asia Pathway if you have already started a university degree so we can check the appropriate Ajou admission option.
