Q: How do I shortlist Korean universities without drowning in rankings and random lists?
A: Use the official Study in Korea portal like a tool: pick your school type, export university info (you can choose contact, scholarship, language, and dormitory information), then verify using the certified university list and each university’s official programme page.
TL;DR (fast route) - Find + shortlist universities by school type (official): https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/schoolType.do - Export university information (“Download University Information”): https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/schoolType.do - Verify on the official certified university list (IEQAS): https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/certifiedUniversity.do - Singapore-friendly verification guide: https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/scholarships/How-to-Verify-a-Korean-University-Singapore-Students-Certified-University-List-Guide-2026 - If you’re still choosing where to live in Korea: https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/scholarships/Where-to-Study-in-Korea-Singapore-Students-Official-Regions-Guide-2026 - If you’re still deciding Japan vs Korea overall: https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/Study-Abroad-Japan-vs-South-Korea-Checklist
