You might be a Filipino interested in studying in Korea or vice versa, or you might be simply curious. Either way, here's the QS 2013 University Ranking for Korea and Philippines only.

If you've watched some Korean (school) dramas, you've probably already heard of Seoul National University, Yonsei University and Korea University. However the difference between these universities in the World Ranking is huge. Only Seoul National University makes it to the top 100 schools in the world. I can only imagine how hard the entrance exam is for all those universities.
