About GIST Scholarship

The Korean government created the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) in Gwangju, South Korea, in 1993 as a research-oriented institute. GIST is a research institution dedicated to establishing a solid research foundation for the advancement of advanced science and technology.
The GIST Scholarship is a fully-funded outstanding scholarship opportunity for overseas students in South Korea, where selected students will take part in research and education at a world-class institute. The GIST Scholarship in South Korea covers almost all study fields and majors. A master’s degree takes two years to complete, whereas a PhD takes four years.
GIST is also the first Korean university to make a thesis quality certification a requirement. As a result, the institute has been ranked first in the number of professor citations in South Korea for 14 years, and the GIST is ranked fourth in the QS World University Ranking.
