Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in South Korea ranked based on their research performance in Earth science and Geophysics. A graph of 984K citations received by 56K academic papers made by 90 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.
