100 Best universities for Mechanical Engineering in South Korea

Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in South Korea ranked based on their research performance in Mechanical Engineering. A graph of 2.83M citations received by 184K academic papers made by 121 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.
