Global Studies: TOEFL iBT 80 / IELTS 5.5; other majors: English cannot substitute TOPIK

Per-major TOPIK 3/4/5 table (5 for Business, Nursing)

This one is easy to miss. Some universities admit you in English and still ask for a Korean level before they let you graduate, which shapes all four years. Confirm it before you accept a place.
Conditional admission route

Interview
required (Zoom/phone OK overseas; 2 majors in-person)
How selective
Flagship national; cheapest tuition of the set; Nepal-specific higher bar exists (not Mongolia)
