The present invention relates to a device and method for transmitting control information about an MBMS service. The present specification discloses a method for receiving control information about an MBMS service performed by a terminal, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, from a serving cell, MBMS current state information of a target cell adjacent to the serving cell via a first broadcast channel; monitoring a frequency of the target cell on the basis of an MBMS frequency list contained in the MBMS current state information of the target cell; performing cell reselection for selecting the target cell; and receiving the MBMS service from the target cell. According to the present invention, the terminal can pre-recognize, in the serving cell, information on a frequency at which an MBMS is provided in the adjacent cell and a type of the MBMS service.
