Seoul National University of Science & Technology (SeoulTech) International Scholarship

Seoul National University of Science & Technology (SeoulTech) is a national (public) university in northern Seoul focused on engineering, technology, IT, and design — a practical, industry-linked institution distinct from the older Seoul National University. As a national university its base tuition is lower than private Seoul schools, and it offers international-student scholarships of 30%–100% tuition reduction: an entrance band from your academic record, then GPA-linked continuing reductions each semester. For Sri Lankan applicants in engineering, computing, or design who want a technology-focused, more affordable route into a Seoul university, SeoulTech is a sensible target. English-taught graduate programmes accept IELTS or an English-medium degree; undergraduate teaching is largely Korean, so check TOPIK requirements for your course. This is tuition support, not full funding — you cover Seoul living costs, flights, and the deposit, and higher bands are competitive.

Academic Record at Entry

The entrance-scholarship band reflects your prior results — A/Ls for undergraduate, Bachelor's/Master's for graduate entry. Strong Sri Lankan STEM results compete for higher tiers.

GPA for Renewal

Continuing reductions require a minimum semester GPA — merit-maintained, so grades below the threshold reduce the award.

Language Proficiency

English-taught (mostly graduate) programmes accept IELTS ~5.5–6.5 or an English-medium degree; a Sri Lankan MOI letter can evidence this. Undergraduate courses are largely Korean-taught and need TOPIK level 3–4.
