For more information, please check the “Apply Now” section of our website.

Direct applications are accepted and processed earlier than applications sent through recruitment agencies.

Each direct applicant is allocated a dedicated EPIK Coordinator at the interview stage that will work closely with the applicant to ensure that their application and **문서(필터링)** are prepared correctly and quickly for successful placement.

Recruitment agencies may provide some additional services outside the scope of the EPIK Program that may be beneficial to some applicants depending on their needs.

As the application process is similar to rolling admission, we do not have a set application deadline for any given term. Depending on the number of positions and the number of applications received, the closing date can vary from term to term. That being said, the application process can be quite lengthy, and those who apply sooner have a definite advantage over those who apply late. For the Spring term, applications will open on August 1st of the preceding year and the application will be posted a week or so before that date. For those interested in the Fall term, applications will open on the February 1st of that year with the application available on our website a week or so before. Be sure to check the “Important News” bulletin on our homepage before applying, as application related news will be posted there.

Initially, the only documents needed to apply are the application form and two scanned letters of recommendation.* All other required documents will only be requested if you pass the interview.

*Please note that there are some exceptions to this which are highlighed on the "Apply Now" page of our website.
