The disciplines of Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Nursing, Music, Fine Arts, and MBA have restrictions when it comes to accepting exchange students.

Please note:

• Due to a high number of applications, students who apply to SNU College Business Administration (CBA) might get rejected during the internal screening procedure of SNU.
• Due to lack of course capacity and placement, Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is controlling the number of accepted students on the undergraduate level. Undergraduate applicants for Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering must have earned at least 15 credits in CSE-related courses (one credit corresponds to 15 lecture hours or 30 lab hours). This must be explicitly shown on the official transcript; if not, additional proof must be presented by the student.

• Students in Industrial Engineering at KIT are therefore highly recommended to focus on courses in Engineering.

• Other restrictions

Applicants need a minimum GPA (Grade Point Average) of:

• undergraduate applicants: 2.5 on a 4.0 point scale (equivalent to 2.7/4.3) or percentile rank of 83%
• graduate applicants: 3.0 on a 4.0 point scale (graduate applicants); equivalent to 3.3/4.3 or percentile rank of 89%

Applicants for Undergraduate level must fulfill the following requirement:

Have completed at least two years of university work at KIT prior to participation in the exchange

Applicants for Graduate level must fulfill the following requirement:

If they wish to start their study at SNU in fall semester 2022, they must be enrolled in at least second semester of their home university Master Program in March 2022 (= have a full transcript of at least one Master semester before application deadline at SNU).

If they wish to start their study at SNU in spring semester 2023, they must be enrolled in at least second semester of their home university Master Program in September 2022 (= have a full transcript of at least one Master semester before application deadline at SNU).

We cannot thus accept graduate students who are enrolled in the first semester of the Master’s program at their SNU application stage (March 2022 for fall semester 2022, September 2022 for spring semester 2023).
