Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) · Gwangju, South Korea
A funded master's in all but name: GIST teaches everything in English by institutional policy, waives tuition for international graduate students and pays a stipend — while its environment and energy engineering research ranks among Asia's best per capita.
Sticker rate ~3,415,000 KRW/semester, but in practice international graduate students receive full tuition support plus a monthly stipend and health insurance — effectively a funded degree. English is GIST's official language of instruction.
Fees and deadlines change every year: always confirm them on the official page before applying.
