Whether it is a public university or a private university, its diploma is recognized by the Ministry of Education of China. China's public universities are some institutions supported by the national government, which were originally divided into national and public universities. Since last year, many public universities have been transformed into national universities, so there are basically no public universities now. Private schools are generally supported by some large enterprises or consortia, so the teachers are relatively strong. Among the top 20 universities in Korea, except for three national universities, the rest are private universities. Well-known Yonsei University, Korea University and Central University are all private universities. Therefore, private universities are not worse than national universities in terms of teachers, and even many private schools are better than national universities.

In terms of tuition and scholarships. National universities are funded by the state or supported by local finance. Tuition in national universities is cheaper than that in private universities in Korea. Generally speaking, the annual tuition fee of undergraduate students in colleges and universities nationwide is about 30,000 yuan, and that of graduate students is about 35,000 yuan. Dormitories in national universities are also very cheap, and the annual accommodation fee is about 20,000 RMB. National universities provide international students with 30%-75% tuition reduction and even 100% scholarship.

The average annual tuition fee of undergraduate students in Korean private universities is about 40,000 RMB, and that of graduate students is about 50,000 RMB. South Korean private universities also offer 30%-75% tuition fee reduction for international students, and even 100% scholarships. If you can get more than 50% scholarships, the tuition fees are not much different from those of national universities.

Generally, private universities will provide foreign students with 30%-50% tuition fee remission as scholarships, and if they get excellent academic performance, they can get more than 70%, so the tuition fee of private universities is similar to that of state universities. Relatively speaking, it is a little easier for private universities to apply for scholarships than state universities, which generally evaluate and apply for scholarships according to students' grades. Every school, even every major, the application and distribution of scholarships for studying in Korea are different. Students with specific conditions can land in official website and apply for their own colleges.

To sum up, the difference between Korean national universities and private universities is mainly reflected in the nature of the school, fees and scholarships, while the level of teachers and school popularity have their own advantages and disadvantages. Here, it is suggested that applicants should not only consider the above factors, but also comprehensively evaluate their own situation when choosing public and private institutions.
