Applicants must complete the online application and submit all required materials before the deadline; GIST explicitly states that late applications are not accepted. The Spring semester begins in March 2027. One of the strongest features of GIST graduate admission is the financial-support system available to international graduate students. According to GIST’s official scholarship information, international students receive full tuition support together with monthly allowances, research-assistantship opportunities, health-insurance support and reimbursement for a one-way flight to Korea. However, applicants should understand that this does not necessarily mean every expense is covered: newly admitted students are normally charged a KRW 680,000 matriculation fee, although a waiver may be available for students with financial difficulties, and housing and utility costs can still apply. Application deadline: 7 October 2026 at 17:00 KST. Official GIST International Graduate Admissions website: GIST International Graduate Admissions
