Comparatively speaking, the university system in China is different from that in South Korea. However, we can compare the universities in dongguk university and China from many angles, such as ranking, school-running level and disciplines, so as to get a general correspondence.
The first is ranking. According to QS World University Ranking 202 1, dongguk university ranks between 52 1-530 in the world. If compared with China University which is closest to it in this ranking, then dongguk university is equivalent to some 2 1 1 engineering or "double-class" universities in China. However, due to the subjectivity and uncertainty of ranking, this comparison is not completely accurate.

Generally speaking, dongguk university can be regarded as a comprehensive private university with strong strength. Although it is different from China's university system, it is equivalent to some high-level comprehensive private universities in China in terms of ranking, school-running level, disciplines and specialties.
