English proficiency

Although Korean is sponken in Korea, Chung-Ang university tries to harbor English-speaking environment. You can find enough graduate classes taught in Englsih, and the communication in the lab will be performed in English. Therefore, ability to communicate in English is essential.

All foreign applicants for grauate program in my lab are requied to show English proficiency. IBT more than 80 or other test scores equivalent to this is required before application to my lab. The score obtained within the last 2 years should be submitted.

Academic ability

My research group is working on biological and chemical phenomea by means of chemistry-based methodology. Therefore, candidates are expected to have a strong biology and chemistry background for their successful graduate study. Academic ability is often judged by the GPA from the transcripts. If a prospective student want to give more positive impression, he/she can list your publications in your CV.

Research Plan

Although admitted graduate students' research topic will be assigned based on their interest and my research plan in the laboratory, submission of research plan is recommended. It is required for the application of CAYSS scholarship and, more importantly, will be used for evaluation of applicant's research potential.
