Korea Times University Rankings focus on universities' internationalization capabilities

The Korea Times University Rankings 2027 prioritize universities' internationalization abilities over overall institutional strength, unlike broader rankings such as QS and Times Higher Education. This assessment focuses on the diverse resources and accomplishments of universities from an internationalization standpoint, aiming to assist international students in making informed decisions about studying in Korea and fostering healthy competition among universities to enhance their internationalization capabilities.

Notably, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), typically ranked among Korea's top universities globally, were excluded from the Korea Times rankings due to their comparatively lower number of international students, institutional size, and regional distribution.
