*Status:* Last reviewed 2026-01-22. The portal UI and available fields can change. Treat exports as planning tools — always verify admissions requirements on the university’s official programme page.

## 1) What “Download University Information” can include (based on the official portal UI)
On both the school types page and the regions page, the Study in Korea portal includes a “Download University Information” feature.
Official pages where this appears:
* https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/schoolType.do
* https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/life/regionsIntro.do
As of our last review, the portal lets you choose university information categories such as:
* **Contact Information**
* **Scholarship Information**
* **Language Information**
* **Dormitory Information**
This matters because it turns shortlisting into a spreadsheet exercise — not a “who has the most TikTok views” exercise.

## 2) The shortlisting workflow (what to do in what order)
### Step A) Decide your school type first (degree vs language)
Start here:
* https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/schoolType.do
If you’re still choosing between degree vs language-first routes, use this Singapore-friendly map:
* https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/scholarships/Korea-School-Types-Singapore-Students-University-Graduate-Korean-Language-Institute-Guide-2026
### Step B) Use the download tool to build a “first-pass shortlist”
On the official page, open the “Download University Information” modal, then:
1. select what information you want (contact, scholarship, language, dormitory),
2. select the universities you’re considering,
3. use the preview/export flow to generate your download.
Your goal is not to download “everything”.
Your goal is to create a shortlist you can verify calmly.
### Step C) Verify legitimacy / stability using the certified university list (IEQAS)
Official page:
* https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/certifiedUniversity.do
Singapore-friendly IEQAS guide:
* https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/scholarships/How-to-Verify-a-Korean-University-Singapore-Students-Certified-University-List-Guide-2026
### Step D) Verify programme requirements on the university’s official page
The export is not a substitute for:
* language of instruction (programme-specific)
* admissions deadlines
* required documents and translation rules
* tuition and refund policies
Treat the export as a “map”. The university site is the “contract”.
---
## 3) What to record in your shortlist (Singapore-student practical fields)
Even if you don’t love spreadsheets, this is worth doing.
Create a small table with:
* university name
* city/region
* programme type (degree / graduate / language institute)
* language information (as captured in the portal export + verified on the programme page)
* scholarship information (as captured in the portal export, then verified)
* dormitory information (as captured in the portal export, then verified)
* one “verification link” (the official programme admissions page URL)

## 4) Next action (today)
Pick one:
* Export information for 10 universities using the official download tool:
- https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/schoolType.do
* Cross-check 5 of those universities on the official certified list:
- https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/certifiedUniversity.do
* Keep your “verification folder” in one place:
- portal export (planning)
- certified list screenshot (verification)
- programme page link (final requirements)
