Sungkyunkwan University vs Kyung Hee University

Our read

Sungkyunkwan University and Kyung Hee University are both large private universities admitting international undergraduates through parallel Korean track and English track routes. Sungkyunkwan, founded in 1398 and the older of the two, teaches across a Humanities and Social Sciences campus in Seoul and a Natural Sciences campus in Suwon, asks for IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 80, charges KRW 5,200,000 to 8,100,000 a semester depending on major, and has 36,136 students; its application fee is KRW 100,000. Kyung Hee, founded in 1949, teaches from a Seoul Campus in Dongdaemun and a Global Campus in Yongin, asks for a lower IELTS 5.5 or TOEFL 71 on its English Track, and charges KRW 4,303,400 to 5,800,400 a semester, a narrower and lower range than Sungkyunkwan's; its application fee is KRW 85,000. This review could not confirm Kyung Hee's exact 2027 application dates on an official page, so that is worth checking directly. Sungkyunkwan's higher English floor and wider fee range sit against Kyung Hee's lower cost and lower English bar. Check Kyung Hee's own page for confirmed 2027 dates and Sungkyunkwan's page for the major specific tuition.
