  6. How it compares

    South Korea has 245 universities, and Kangwon National University sits within that large system as one of ten Flagship Korean National Universities in Gangwon. Its main distinction is scale across multiple campuses after the March 2026 merger, so it may suit students who want a broad public university structure rather than a single-campus setting.
