Sogang University graduate real estate program opens applications for 2027 spring semester

Sogang University's graduate real estate cooperative program is accepting applications for master's and doctoral students for the 2027 spring semester.

The university announced Tuesday that the first-round application window will run from 9 a.m. Wednesday to 5 p.m. Oct. 21.

The program draws on faculty with expertise in real estate theory and hands-on industry experience, offering interdisciplinary coursework that bridges academic research and professional practice. It also gives students opportunities to broaden their academic horizons and engage with key industry issues through international conferences and expert-led seminars.

The program takes an interdisciplinary approach to real estate, examining the field through economic, legal and spatial lenses. Its goal is to build students' capacity to analyze real estate markets, policy and urban change by integrating theory from related fields including finance, law and urban planning. The curriculum covers major areas such as real estate development, urban regeneration and project financing, as well as the impact of technological change on the industry — including proptech (real estate information technology), digital twins and big data analytics.

Applicants must submit their applications online through the Sogang University Graduate School website or Jinhak Apply, then send supporting documents to the graduate school administration office by registered mail or in person. The document submission deadline is 5 p.m. Oct. 22, and only materials received by that time will be accepted. An application is considered complete only after both the online form and supporting documents have been submitted.

Oral interviews for the first-round selection are scheduled for Nov. 7, with specific times and formats to be announced separately by department. Successful applicants will be notified at 2 p.m. Nov. 19 through the Sogang University Graduate School website.

Full details on admissions and selection procedures are available on the Sogang University Graduate School website. The schedule is subject to change depending on university circumstances.
