[LLM] When and how can I apply to the dual-degree program?
※ Students have 2 options of attaining a dual-degree either of which are equivalent in terms of tuition, curriculum, and degree.
1. Spring semester admission: You can either apply as
1) KAIST applicant and apply for the LLM program. Should students choose to withdraw from the LLM program, they may continue on in the KAIST MIP program.
2) Apply for the Dual-degree program: Both the MIP and LLM program must be completed together in order to receive the dual-degree.
2. Fall semester admission: Students may only apply as KAIST applicants as dual-degree applications are only accepted for spring semester entry. Therefore students may apply for the dual-degree program the following spring.
In the case a student starts their MIP program in the fall of 2021 and their LLM program in the spring of 2022 (1 semester apart),
1) As the expected graduation for the LLM program is 1 semester later than the MIP program and because it is a dual-degree, the duration of study may be extended to 2 and a half years due to the 1 semester difference.
2) Students may need to take additional lectures to fulfill graduation requirements. Credit transfers are available from MIP to LLM however due to the 1 semester difference of entry, only the three overlapping semester's credits may be transferred.
