    Is there admission for Fall semester only?
    For international students, admission is only available for the academic year beginning in the Fall, following the standard admission schedule of prestigious universities overseas. For Korean students, admissions are available twice a year for Fall and Spring from March 2024. If accepted for Spring admission, Taejae University provides the students with a specialized gap-semester preparatory program. After spending the gap-semester, they officially start school in the following Fall semester with the international students.

    Why is the student body relatively small compared to other universities?
    We pride ourselves on having a small student body, which enables students to become an integral part of our vibrant academic community by truly engaging with their coursework, participating in thought-provoking discussions, and receiving personalized feedback from professors. Furthermore, because students will be living in five different countries, students will be able to form a strong bond with their peers and faculty members and will create a supportive and inclusive learning environment. By limiting the number of students, we ensure that each student receives the attention and support they need to excel in their academic and personal pursuits. The small study body allows our faculty and staff members to help each and every student to reach their full potential.

    What is the purpose of selecting an equal number/ratio of Korean and international students?

We believe that living together with students from diverse backgrounds and sharing their various cultures, societies, and values on a daily basis is the fundamental stepping stone towards achieving true globalization, in the best sense of the term.
