During the first half of this year alone, Korea Aerospace University’s Office of Admissions visited 23 overseas Korean and international schools across Southeast Asia, China, and Japan, meeting with over 1,800 prospective students and parents. To strengthen outreach to overseas Koreans and expand its global network, the university increased the number of participating schools by seven compared to last year.

Held under the slogan “Why Not?”, the sessions introduced the university’s strengths in the aerospace field and provided key admissions information. A major focus was the Flexible Major Selection System, newly implemented for the 2024 incoming class, which allows students to explore various disciplines during their first year and choose their major in the second year. Attendees also received comprehensive guidance on KAU’s academic and research infrastructure, campus life, career opportunities after graduation, and admissions procedures.

For schools that could not be visited in person, the university held separate online sessions. One-on-one consultations were also offered after each session to address individual questions and concerns. KAU further developed strong networks with school administrators and college counselors, ensuring ongoing collaboration and information sharing.

Following the reform of the admissions schedule for overseas Korean students in 2024, KAU continues to expand its on-site admissions outreach. A university representative noted, “Overseas Korean students with global perspectives are a strong match for our university, which specializes in aerospace studies. We will continue these visits to attract talented students from around the world.”

The first application round for the 2026 academic year (Overseas Korean Special Admission) will be held from July 7 to 11, covering the full curriculum track, 3-year track, and North Korean defector track. The second round is scheduled for September. Detailed guidelines are available on the KAU admissions website, and further inquiries can be directed to the Admissions Team at admission@kau.ac.kr or +82-2-300-0229.
