Programs

A private university with a broad academic profile and active international office.

Silla University offers a wide range of majors and several international routes, degree admission, exchange programs, language and culture exchange, summer and winter cultural experience programs, and Korean language study through the Korean Language Education Center (한국어교육원).

Academic Fields

Silla supports degree students, exchange students, Korean language students and short-term cultural-experience students. Exchange students can take classes, join cultural programs and transfer credits home. Language and culture exchange combines Korean classes with Silla student tutors and cultural activities.

Admissions

Start at the International Education Building, the right coordinator depends on your route.

The official English page for international applicants is the Office of International Affairs Application Guide at https://en.silla.ac.kr/en/index.php?pCode=appguide, reached from SILLA UNIVERSITY then Admissions then Application Guide. It hosts the downloadable Application Guide Book PDF and prints the OIA postal address, TEL 82-51-999-5511 and FAX 82-51-999-5519. Be aware that the page itself is thin. The actual deadlines, document lists and fees sit inside that PDF, which is hosted on a part of silla.ac.kr that blocks automated access, so we could not read them ourselves. The application form lives at https://en.silla.ac.kr/en/index.php?pCode=appform and the OIA staff directory, which is the most useful contact page, at https://en.silla.ac.kr/en/index.php?pCode=oiastaff. There is a Korean-language admissions page run by 국제교류처 at https://global.silla.ac.kr/global/index.php?pCode=admission01, but the entire global.silla.ac.kr host blocks automated access, so we could not verify what it contains. Treat it as an unverified secondary link. On campus, go to the International Education Building (국제교육관) and ask the International Affairs Team (국제교류팀) which coordinator handles your route, because the office splits work by degree marketing, GKS, exchange, foreign-student support and Korean language.

Useful Korean Phrases

Student Life

Quieter, campus-based, with Sasang as the daily-life hub.

Silla feels more campus-based than PNU or the Kyungsung-PKNU strip. The lively nightlife scene isn't outside the gate, but Sasang Station and Seobu Bus Terminal are nearby for shopping, food and transport.

Support for international students

On-Campus Dorms

Silla's 2026 dormitory fee notice covers two complexes and bundles meals into the fee. There is no meal opt-out in the published table. 백양생활관 Baekyang Residence Hall (506 beds) runs a single 14 meals per week plan. 글로벌타운 Global Town is the complex that houses international students, with A and B buildings (508 beds) and a female-only C building (212 beds), roughly 1,246 beds across the two complexes. Global Town lets you choose 12, 10 or 7 meals per week, and the fewer meals you take the lower your total. The 2026 table lists 2-person, 3-person and 4-person rooms only. No single room is priced.

Figures are the 2026학년도 관생비 (2026 academic year dormitory charges) posted by Silla on 4 November 2025, checked on 3 August 2026. Silla's own caveat on that notice reads 2026학년도 관생비는 추후 변동될 수 있습니다, meaning the 2026 charges may change later. A separate notice for the 2026 second semester has not been published. Other official Silla pages carry different, undated figures that we do not publish. We publish the 2026 notice because every total in it reconciles exactly with its own management fee, meal count and per-meal rate. If a Silla page quotes you something different, ask which academic year it refers to. Dormitory contact: 글로벌타운 행정실, the Global Town administration office, on +82-51-999-6400 and +82-51-999-6061. Before you pay, confirm your building, room type, meal plan, move-in date and payment deadline.

Off-Campus Rent

Nearby rent figures are not something we have verified ourselves, so treat listings as a starting point. Search areas: Sasang Station area, Deokpo Station area, Gwaebeop-dong, and the lower campus access road. Useful Korean search terms: 신라대 원룸, 신라대학교 원룸, 사상역 원룸, 덕포역 원룸, 괘법동 원룸, 신라대 자취방. Use Naver 부동산, 직방, 다방 and local real-estate offices.

Campus Cafeterias and Cafes (예술관식당 and others)

Silla publishes the locations and opening hours of its campus food outlets but does not publish meal prices on any official page. Do not assume the dormitory meal rates apply here. The KRW 2,700 to KRW 3,500 per-meal figures in the Housing tab are contracted dormitory board rates, not walk-up cafeteria prices. One payment note from the university: 무인시설은 신라머니를 사용할 수 없습니다, the unstaffed self-service outlets do not accept the Silla Money campus card, so carry another payment method.

Libraries & Sports
