Yonsei Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences
The Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) department was created to regroup all the courses from the following divisions: Integrated Social Sciences, Techno-Art, and Asian Studies. Following an interdisciplinary approach, students can choose from a wide array of Humanities courses ranging from regional studies, art, social sciences and business. Although students will have the opportunity to specialize in their chosen fields by declaring a major, they are encouraged to take advantage of the interdisciplinary approach to expand their academic horizon and broaden their perspective on the world. Graduates of the HASSD successfully find employment in the private sector, as well as NGOs and academia.

This fee is charged by the university is separate and must be paid separately. It is non-refundable.

Once admitted, you must separately apply for a visa in the Korean embassy/consulate in your country and we cannot help you with the process as every consulate/country is different. However, we will help you with Foreign Registration at the Korean Immigration Office once you are in Korea.
A guarantee for admission
Although we have a strong expertise in academic consulting and experience in successfully admitting students in the best Korean universities, the ultimate admission decision (as well as the scholarship decision) is made by the university alone, after a review of your profile.
