Research output (Leiden Ranking)
Most useful if you plan a master's or PhD. The CWTS Leiden Ranking counts research papers only (no reputation surveys); ranks are among 2,831 universities in the 2025 Open Edition, all sciences, fractional counting. It says little about undergraduate teaching or language programmes. CWTS Leiden Ranking →

Bus stops and routes change often, so we do not list them. Open the campus in a map app and tap "Transit" for current bus and metro routes.
Distances are straight-line from the campus coordinates to the station coordinates, so the walk is longer in practice. Sources: Ministry of Education campus coordinates, Korea Rail Network Authority station data (2026-06-30).
