To be eligible for admission to Yonsei University, international students are required to satisfy specific English language proficiency criteria. For the TOEFL examination, candidates must achieve a minimum score of 79, whether taking the TOEFL iBT or the TOEFL iBT Home Edition. Alternatively, students can submit an IELTS score, with a minimum requirement of 6.5. It is important to note that the language test must have been completed within two years of the semester in which the student intends to enroll. Meeting these requirements is essential to ensure effective communication and success in an academic environment where English is the primary language of instruction.

Yonsei University considers applicants based on their high school academic records, standardized test results (SAT or IB), and other supporting documentation rather than particularly using Australia's ATAR system for admissions Meeting competitive academic standards equal to ATAR scores and passing English proficiency exams like the TOEFL (minimum score of 79) or IELTS (minimum score of 6.5) are crucial for overseas applicants. Because of their excellent standards English-taught programs like Underwood International College draw students from all around the world.It is advised that you confirm your eligibility by speaking with Yonsei's admissions office consulting study-abroad experts or checking your ATAR with international qualification standards.
