Admission to the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Korean Language) is administered by the Department of Higher Education Sector of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport. Successful applicants are also required to sit a separate two-stage entrance examination administered by the Department of Korean Studies. The first stage consists of a paper-based exam testing students’ general knowledge. Upon successful completion of this exam, prospective students proceed to an interview about their knowledge of Korean language and culture, and their future goals.

Admission to the Korean Language short course is open to first year students in all departments of the Royal University of Phnom Penh, and members of the general public. The admissions process takes place in September each year. Applicants apply at the IFL Registration Office. Students of RUPP must also take part in an interview before they are admitted to the Korean Language short course.
