This two-year English-track master's is designed for students who want to connect physical-education theory and practice with sports health, human performance, professional health management, and the promotion of public health.
Advanced study includes Introduction to Neuroscience, Functional Anatomy, and Understanding Children with Disabilities. These areas strengthen your understanding of the human body, movement, neurological foundations, inclusive practice, and the application of sports and health knowledge.
Graduates can pursue advanced opportunities in sports and health management, exercise and performance support, wellness, community health, and related research or public-health settings. The program does not by itself promise a clinical licence.
Studying in South Korea gives you international experience in a sports- and health-focused environment while Korean-language study strengthens your global profile. The planned March 2027 intake is subject to final confirmation and generally expects around 70% final marks, completion of the previous degree within the last 10 years, and IELTS 6.0 guidance for applicants from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, India, and other countries.
Up to 80% scholarship, sports-health study, and $850 housing.
