KAIST publishes this figure without stating which year it applies to, so it may already be out of date. Treat it as a starting point and check the course page for the current rate. Flag it below if you know it has changed.

KAIST's own Cost of Attendance table for the Undergraduate Program (Main Campus) prints tuition as 3,433,000 KRW for the first semester, 3,433,000 for the second and 6,866,000 as the total, so the annual figure recorded here is KAIST's own arithmetic and not mine. Institution-wide -- the table is not broken down by department. READ THIS BEFORE BUDGETING: in practice almost no admitted international undergraduate pays it. The KAIST Scholarship covers full tuition for 8 semesters, plus 350,000 KRW a month of living expenses and medical health insurance, and there is no separate application -- an applicant simply ticks 'KAIST scholarship' on the Statement of Financial Resources in the admission application. It is conditional (KAIST requires a GPA above 2.7/4.3 after the freshman year to keep it), which is why the sticker figure rather than zero is recorded here, per the project rule that a conditional award must not be presented as the price. The same table puts the unavoidable non-tuition essentials at a further 8,019,680 KRW a year (National Health Insurance 916,680, books 300,000, housing 1,328,000 in a shared Hee Mang Hall room, food 5,475,000 at the campus cafeteria), and KAIST notes the whole table is subject to change with inflation. The page carries no academic year anywhere, hence undated.
