University acceptance

Where do our graduates go after KIST?

KIST graduates gain acceptance to, and go on to attend, an impressive list of universities around the world. Below is a list of universities to which KIST students have gained acceptance since 2020.  While we have many offers that came before that, we feel that more up to date lists give a better representation of what the current climate is like at our school.

A note about scholarships: KIST aims to keep international education accessible and, as such, makes best efforts to keep tuition fees as low as possible. However, accessibility to tertiary education is often limited due to financial difficulties. KIST students are supported and encouraged to attain their personal best so that scholarship support becomes a reality. Many KIST students have attained various levels of scholarship support from universities around the world (represented below by a black cap icon). It should be noted that for some countries, scholarship is rarely offered prior to entering the university, with such assistance becoming available based on performance attained after enrollment.
