The present invention relates to a method for cell selection in a wireless communication system. The method for cell selection by a terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise the following steps: measuring the channel quality of a first cell; measuring the channel quality of a second cell; determining whether the value obtained by applying an offset to the result of the measurement of the channel quality of the second cell is better than the result of the measurement of the channel quality of the first cell; if the value obtained by applying an offset to the result of the measurement of the channel quality of the second cell is better than the result of the measurement of the channel quality of the first cell, determining whether the value obtained by applying no offset to the result of the measurement of the channel quality of the second cell is better than a preset reference value; and, if the value obtained by applying no offset to the result of the measurement of the channel quality of the second cell is better than the preset reference value, selecting the second cell. According to one embodiment of the present invention, an operable cell can be selected to prevent malfunctions, and interference from a CSG cell may be reduced.
