Please note:
- The eligibility test for dissertation submission is irrelevant to the completion of master's and doctoral programs. It is a test that grants eligibility to the submission of degree dissertation.
- The criteria for a master's program will apply to a student who drops out of a joint program.
- Cancellation of registration may occur due to mishandling of the comprehensive information system.
- A photo must be registered to take the test. If a photo is not registered, scan it as a JPG file and submit it by e-mail to the person in charge in the academic application department(register the photo before the application deadline).
- Joint program student: Test acceptance in a master's program will be accepted. (because the ID number in the master's program is the same as that in the doctoral program without being separated).
- The registration status and announcement of successful applicants will be notified in two ways.
-Please contact the department office, because an official letter will be sent to the department of the college.
