Best Physical chemistry universities in South Korea [Rankings]

Below is a list of best universities in South Korea ranked based on their research performance in Physical chemistry. A graph of 7.03M citations received by 238K academic papers made by 117 universities in South Korea was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
