    Why students choose BUFS.

    A Language & International University

    BUFS is a private university with a clear international identity, Korean language, foreign languages, international studies, global business and exchange programs sit at the centre of campus life.

    Namsan-dong Campus Atmosphere

    One main campus in Namsan-dong, Geumjeong-gu. It feels more campus-and-residential than station-centre, quieter than PNU or the Kyungsung-PKNU strip, with a strong international student community.

    Start at OIA Room F201

    Every international first step, ARC, dormitory, insurance, Student ID, Korean placement, coordinator routing, runs through the Office of International Affairs in the Main University Building, 2F, Room F201.

    The Reality Check

    The subway only gets you close, plan the last leg.

    BUFS is not directly beside a subway exit. From Namsan or Guseo on Line 1, you still need village bus 금정3, a campus shuttle, a local bus, or a short taxi. For first arrival with luggage, taxi from Namsan or Guseo to the main gate is the simplest move. Also: don't confuse BUFS with Pusan National University, both are in the north of Busan, but BUFS is not in the PNU Station area.

    Taxi phrase, show to your driver

    부산외국어대학교 정문으로 가 주세요.

    “Please take me to the main gate of Busan University of Foreign Studies.”

    EDUCATION ADVISORY PARTNER

    Reviewed with Korea Study Guide

    University information on this page is reviewed with Korea Study Guide, an independent education advisory platform. Korea Study Guide can help you understand study routes, assess your profile and prepare for the application process.

    The free profile review covers a look at your academic background, which study routes and universities may fit, and what documents you would need to prepare. It is guidance only: it does not submit applications for you and does not guarantee admission or a visa.

    Programs

    A private university built around language and international study.

    BUFS is a private university in Busan with a strong international and language-focused identity. It's especially relevant if you're interested in Korean, foreign languages, international studies, global business, exchange programs or multicultural campus life, less so for a technical or science-first campus.

    Academic Fields

    BUFS hosts a wide range of language and area-studies majors plus the Global Talent Convergence Major. Most majors outside the Global Talent Convergence Major are taught in Korean, so exchange students who want another major should normally have TOPIK 3 or higher and confirm course availability with BUFS coordinators. BUFS has no medicine and no nursing programme. Its own pages also disagree on the size of the undergraduate offering: the Korean university overview page states 5개 단과대학과 41개의 학부(과), 15개의 전공 (5 colleges, 41 departments, 15 majors), while the OIA English page says 5 colleges with 42 undergraduate majors. Neither figure changes what you can apply to, but do not treat either as exact.

    Language of Instruction

    Apart from the Global Talent Convergence Major, most majors are instructed in Korean. The Center for Korean Language and Culture Education (KLCE / 한국어문화교육원) is the formal Korean pathway, our partners confirm the live English-medium catalogue for your cycle.

    Admissions

    Start at OIA Room F201, the right coordinator depends on your route.

    BUFS uses different international contacts depending on programme, region and task. The Office of International Affairs (Main University Building, 2F, Room F201) is the starting point for degree, exchange and visiting students. The canonical page for undergraduate international admission is the OIA Undergraduate page at https://oiaglobal.bufs.ac.kr/undergraduate, which carries the scholarship table and the application flow. Each intake's 모집요강 (admission guideline) is posted on the OIA admissions notice board at https://oiaglobal.bufs.ac.kr/notice?sca=Admissions in Korean, English, Vietnamese and Chinese. The graduate equivalent is https://oiaglobal.bufs.ac.kr/graduate, and the International Student Support Team runs its own site at https://ic.bufs.ac.kr/. The online application portal is https://m.bufs.ac.kr/Degree_Default.aspx. Do not use https://eng.bufs.ac.kr/ or the bufs.ac.kr homepage as your admissions source, they are general-purpose pages and carry no dates or requirements. There is no single email for every situation, so use the route-specific contact your coordinator gives you.

    Tuition, as currently published

    BUFS does not publish a tuition figure for its international admission track. Its own international guideline says only that the exact amount will be notified to successful applicants. The table below is BUFS's official 2026 freshman tuition schedule, published per semester by the Admissions Office, and it is the most reliable order of magnitude available. Two figures are given per unit because BUFS prices the first semester slightly higher than the second.

    Undergraduate admission fee (입학금): KRW 0 for every unit in this table. Graduate admission fee: KRW 600,000 (2026 Fall). The practical undergraduate range is roughly KRW 3,400,000 to KRW 3,513,000 per semester, rising to KRW 3,881,000 to KRW 3,989,000 for Aviation Service. BUFS has no medicine and no nursing programme, and the published undergraduate table carries no engineering or natural sciences line. Dormitory, meal vouchers and the KLCE Korean course are billed separately, see the Housing and Admissions tabs.

    Program Per semester Notes

    Graduate, IT and Engineering KRW 6,278,000 2026 Fall rate, as published by BUFS.

    Checked on 3 August 2026 against BUFS's 2026학년도 신입생 등록금 현황. Two caveats. This is the domestic freshman fee schedule, and BUFS's own international guideline declines to publish a figure, so these exact numbers cannot be certified as applying to the 정원외 foreign-student tracks (한국어문화학부 and 국제학부). BUFS also notes that freshman scholarships such as 글로벌챌린저 and 수능우수 are processed as a reduction of the tuition bill rather than a separate payment. The canonical PDF, 2026학년도 신편입학 등록금 현황.pdf, sits on the Admissions Office fee board and could not be downloaded when we checked, so the figures above come from the sibling 2026 freshman information page. Confirm your own rate with the Office of International Affairs before you budget.

    Scholarships

    BUFS funds international undergraduates mainly through one automatic entrance scholarship, banded by TOPIK level. There is no separate application, it is decided on admission and applied as a waiver against your first semester tuition. BUFS publishes the percentages in two columns, one for regular majors and one for the Division of International Studies track, so both are given below.

    Entrance scholarship, no language certificate

    20% of tuition, regular majors. 20%, Division of International Studies track.

    Applicants admitted without TOPIK or an equivalent certificate.

    Awarded automatically on admission, no separate application, applied to the first semester.

    Entrance scholarship, sister institution or MOU partner applicant, or F-visa holder

    30% regular majors. 40% Division of International Studies track.

    Applicants from a BUFS sister institution or MOU partner institution, or holders of an F-series visa.

    Entrance scholarship, TOPIK Level 3 or equivalent

    30% regular majors. 40% Division of International Studies track.

    TOPIK Level 3 or an equivalent certificate at the point of admission.

    Entrance scholarship, TOPIK Level 4

    40% regular majors. 45% Division of International Studies track.

    TOPIK Level 4 at the point of admission.

    Entrance scholarship, TOPIK Level 5

    50% regular majors. 50% Division of International Studies track.

    TOPIK Level 5 at the point of admission.

    Entrance scholarship, TOPIK Level 6

    60% regular majors. 60% Division of International Studies track.

    TOPIK Level 6 at the point of admission.

    Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) recipient

    100% application fee waiver, plus BUFS coverage where tuition exceeds the GKS threshold.

    Applicants admitted to BUFS holding a Global Korea Scholarship.

    See the GKS note below for how to apply.

    TOPIK cash scholarship after admission

    KRW 200,000 at Level 4, KRW 400,000 at Level 5, KRW 600,000 at Level 6

    Enrolled international students who reach or raise their TOPIK level after admission.

    From the Spring 2024 guideline. Confirm the current amounts with OIA.

    Native or second-language English speaker waiver

    50% tuition waiver

    International students who are native or second-language English speakers.

    From the Spring 2024 guideline. Confirm with OIA.

    Graduate international student TOPIK scholarship

    30% to 100% tuition waiver

    Graduate international students, banded by TOPIK level under a scheme separate from the undergraduate table.

    Global Korea Scholarship

    The Global Korea Scholarship is usable at BUFS. BUFS participates in the GKS University Track and posts its own GKS calls on the Office of International Affairs notice board, for example 2025 Global Korea Scholarship [University Track] Application for Undergraduate Degrees and [GKS-G University Track] 2026 Global Korea Scholarship Application Guideline for Graduate Degrees. Separately, BUFS's own entrance scholarship table gives a GKS recipient a 100% application fee waiver and covers tuition above the GKS threshold. Apply through the University Track call posted on the BUFS OIA notice board rather than assuming a rolling process, each year's call carries its own deadline.

    Checked on 3 August 2026. The percentage table on the OIA undergraduate page is current. The cash amounts (KRW 200,000, KRW 400,000, KRW 600,000) and the 50% native-English waiver come from the Spring 2024 guideline, so treat those as indicative and confirm with OIA. One thing to be clear about before you budget: BUFS's domestic freshman scholarship page lists around 13 further schemes, including Global Challenger A at KRW 1,500,000 and full-tuition CSAT Excellence tiers. Every one of them is keyed to Korean CSAT grades, alumni status or Korean welfare categories, so none of them are open to international students.

    Typical application windows

    BUFS has published nothing for the 2027 academic year. As of 3 August 2026 the OIA admissions notice board carried no 2027 entries at all, the most recent undergraduate notices were Fall 2026 (posted 18 March 2026) and Spring 2026 (posted 29 August 2025). The windows below are read off those two published cycles so you know roughly when to start gathering documents.

    These 2027 windows are patterns from previous BUFS cycles, not confirmed dates. BUFS has not published them. Do not book flights, resign from a job or pay anyone against them, confirm the live dates with the BUFS Office of International Affairs or with our education partners first. One further warning: the OIA page carries a generic line saying the Spring intake applies in 8~9월, which does not match BUFS's own published Spring 2026 dates of 29 September to 12 December. The notice board is the source of truth, not that summary line. On BUFS's own pattern the Spring 2027 notice should appear around late August 2026, so it is worth re-checking the board at the end of August.

    Intake Window Basis
    Spring 2027 (March start) Guideline expected around late August 2026. Round 1 expected late September to mid October 2026, Round 2 expected late November to mid December 2026. BUFS runs two rounds and closes each at 17:00 Korean time on the final day. Pattern from BUFS's own published Spring 2026 cycle, Round 1 from 29 September to 17 October 2025 and Round 2 from 24 November to 12 December 2025. Not a confirmed date.
    Fall 2027 (September start) Guideline expected around mid March 2027. Round 1 expected early to mid April 2027, Round 2 expected mid to late May 2027, each closing at 17:00 Korean time. Pattern from BUFS's own published Fall 2026 cycle, Round 1 from 1 to 15 April 2026 and Round 2 from 18 to 29 May 2026. Not a confirmed date.

    Last confirmed cycle: Fall 2026, notice posted 18 March 2026. Round 1 ran 1 to 15 April 2026, Round 2 ran 18 to 29 May 2026, each closing at 17:00 on the final day. The cycle before it, Spring 2026, was posted 29 August 2025, with Round 1 from 29 September to 17 October 2025 and Round 2 from 24 November to 12 December 2025. Use these two as your calibration.

    The online application runs at https://m.bufs.ac.kr/Degree_Default.aspx. Each intake's 모집요강 (admission guideline) is posted on the OIA admissions notice board at https://oiaglobal.bufs.ac.kr/notice?sca=Admissions in Korean, English, Vietnamese and Chinese.

    Useful numbers include Geumjeong 3 (금정3), Geumjeong 3-2 (금정3-2), 301, 29, 51, 80, 49, 131. Stop names can look slightly different in Naver Map vs KakaoMap, check the route live on the day.

    By Taxi

    With luggage, the easiest route is subway to Namsan or Guseo and then a short taxi to the main gate. For OIA say: 국제교류처 F201호로 가고 싶어요. Cost/time should be checked live in Kakao T or Naver Map.

    First Stop Checklist

    Where is the Office of International Affairs?

    F201호로 가고 싶어요.

    I want to go to Room F201.

    부산외국어대학교 정문으로 가 주세요.

    Please take me to the main gate of BUFS.

    Student Life

    International, language-focused, more campus than station strip.

    BUFS feels different from PNU or Kyungsung-PKNU, more campus-and-residential, less of a big nightlife or station-centre student zone. The international community is strong, with multilingual support and a clear OIA workflow.

    Clubs & Communities

    • Around 32 student clubs across three divisions on the BUFS campus life page: 공연분과 (performance), 레포츠분과 (leisure sports) and 학술문화분과 (academic and culture)
    • Active international and language exchange groups via OIA
    • Korean language and culture activities through KLCE

    BUFS publishes no stated total and no as-of date for its club directory, so treat around 32 as an approximate count from the page itself. Club rosters change each semester, confirm current circles with the Office of International Affairs on arrival.

    The Student District

    The student area runs through the Namsan-dong / Guseo / Jangjeon corridor. For a livelier student café and restaurant strip, take Line 1 toward PNU / Jangjeon, Dongnae, or further toward Seomyeon.

    On campus, the Global Center is one of the most useful buildings to know, Busan Bank (Room A121), post office (Room A118), bookstore, stationery, copy/print, café, beauty shop, photo studio and optical store are all there.

    Daily life still needs Korean

    Transport, cafeteria notices, dormitory rules, pharmacies and medical visits often run in Korean. Papago, Naver Map and KakaoMap cover most everyday gaps.

    On-Campus Dorms

    BUFS has two main dormitory options. Dormitory 1 (on-campus, 1,316 beds, 454 male / 862 female, double occupancy), rooms come with a bed, desk, bookshelf and closet. Dormitory 2 (off-campus, female-only, about 0.5 km from campus, double or triple, no cafeteria, shared kitchenette). Single rooms are not listed in current OIA housing information. Important: blanket and pillow are not provided, bring bedding or buy it before moving in.

    Room Type Fee / Semester Meals
    Dormitory 1 · Double (on-campus, semester ~3.5 months) KRW 997,000 Meal vouchers mandatory (see below)
    Dormitory 1 · Double (semester + vacation ~5.5 months) KRW 1,433,000 Meal vouchers mandatory
    Dormitory 2 · Double (off-campus, female-only, ~5.5 months) KRW 1,489,000 Kitchenette / no cafeteria
    Dormitory 2 · Triple (off-campus, female-only, ~5.5 months) KRW 1,169,000 Kitchenette / no cafeteria

    A KRW 100,000 refundable deposit is included in these prices. Dormitory 1 residents must buy a meal voucher plan for the semester: A plan 116 servings KRW 394,400, B plan 174 servings KRW 556,800, C plan 232 servings KRW 696,000. Dormitory 2 has no cafeteria, only a shared kitchenette, so budget separately for groceries. Two caveats you should know about. First, BUFS states no effective semester, academic year or as-of date anywhere on these pages, so nobody can confirm these figures are current for the coming semester. Second, BUFS's own pages disagree. The OIA on-campus and off-campus housing pages and the English Housing page, three pages that all agree, give the figures above. The International Student Support Team housing page publishes a different set under the heading Living Cost (Dormitory + Meals): Dormitory 1 at KRW 1,930,400 for semester plus vacation and KRW 1,363,400 for semester only, meal plans of 106, 159 and 212 meals at KRW 413,400, KRW 588,300 and KRW 742,000, and Dormitory 2 at KRW 1,500,000 double and KRW 1,167,000 triple. The two sets differ in both the dormitory figure and the meal serving counts, so they are not simply with-meals and without-meals versions of the same thing. We publish the three-page set as the better-sourced one. Confirm with OIA before you rely on any of it. Checked 3 August 2026.

    Off-Campus Rent

    Nearby rent is not something we have verified ourselves, so treat listings as a starting point. Search areas: Namsan-dong, Guseo-dong, Jangjeon-dong. Useful Korean search terms: 부산외대 원룸, 부산외대 고시원, 남산동 원룸, 구서동 원룸, 장전동 원룸, 부산외국어대학교 자취방. Use Naver 부동산, 직방, 다방 and local real-estate offices.

    Never sign sight-unseen. Use a vetted advisor to conduct a physical room check before sending any deposit.

    Campus Cafeterias & Cafés

    Dormitory cafeteria: Building C, Dormitory, B1F (+82-51-509-6848). Student cafeteria (학생식당): Building E, Memorial Square, B1F. The BUFS weekly menu page (주간식단표) publishes the student cafeteria as breakfast 08:00 to 09:00 and lunch and dinner in one continuous block from 10:30 to 18:00, with a Friday note that orders close at 15:00 and the cafeteria runs reduced hours until 16:00. The staff cafeteria (교직원식당) is lunch only, 11:30 to 13:00. Treat all of this as published rather than confirmed for the current semester: the board carrying those hours holds exactly one post, titled 주간식단표 (6/8- 6/12) and dated 10 March 2022, and it is not being maintained. Breakfast service itself is live, BUFS ran a free breakfast campaign in the first semester of 2025 (2025학년 1학기 '야식보다 건강한 조식' 무료조식 행사 안내), but the hours in that notice sit inside an image we could not read. No per-meal price is published on the menu page, dormitory residents buy meal vouchers by the semester instead, see the Housing tab. Cafés in Global Center A 2F, Trinity Hall D 1F and Library H 1F, convenience stores in Business Tech Center I 1F, Trinity Hall D 1F and Dormitory C B1F.

    • A confirmed 24-hour study room has not been verified, checking on arrival is recommended.
    • Useful campus systems: student portal, BUFS talent / eport system, groupware and e-Class, learn them early.

    Health & Medical

    Health Service Boaz Medical Clinic Center

    Around BUFS

    BUFS sits in Namsan-dong, with the Namsan / Guseo / Jangjeon corridor as the immediate student environment. For on-campus needs, the Global Center already covers bank, post office, bookstore, stationery, copy shop and basic convenience.

    For a bigger student strip, cafés, restaurants, nightlife, take Line 1 toward PNU / Jangjeon, Dongnae or Seomyeon. The campus itself is calmer than those areas, which suits students who want a more focused study environment.
