Official statistics for 2022 place Ajou University's graduate employment rate at 72.4%, the second-highest among 4-year universities producing at least 2,000 graduates a year.The Ministry of Education updated its Higher Education in Korea website with the official university information for 2022. The 2021 employment rates specified concern students who graduated in August 2020 and February 2021. According to the updated information, 64.2% of graduates of 4-year universities found employment. That figure represents an increase of 3.1% over the previous year's 61.1%.Of the 2,190 Ajou University students who graduated in August 2020 and February 2021, 72.4% found employment. High employment rates were seen among medical (95.1%), pharmacy (90%), and nursing (83.7%) graduates, as well as those finishing engineering (81.6%) and information and communications (77.5%).By department, high employment rates were identified in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (88.9%), Department of Software and Computer Engineering (82.5%), Department of Mechanical Engineering (82%), Department of Transportation Systems Engineering (81.5%), Department of Architecture (80.6%), Department of Industrial Engineering (80.3%), Department of Environmental and Safety Engineering (76.5%), Department of Applied Chemistry and Biological Engineering (75.5%), Department of Chemical Engineering (75%), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (74.1%), Department of Digital Media (73.5%), and Department of Cyber Security (73%). The employee retention rate among Ajou University grads, an indicator of quality of employment, was found to be 88.4% (Cycle 4: 12 months into employment)—the highest among Korean universities. Employee retention rates are calculated from percentages of health insurance holders who retain employment, at the end of each of 4 cycles, identified as 3, 6, 9, and 12 months into employment. The rule of thumb is the higher the employee retention rate the greater the stability enjoyed by graduates at work.The announced Ajou University graduate employment rate of 72.4% is the second-highest among all 4-year universities in Korea producing at least 2,000 graduates a year, and the highest among 4-year universities producing at least 2,000 graduates in Gyeonggi Province. Nationally, the highest graduate employment rate was achieved by Sungkyunkwan University (78.5%). Following Ajou University’s 72.4% was Yonsei University (71.4%), Hanyang University (71.4%), Seoul National University (71.1%), Chung-Ang University (70.3%), Korea University (70.1%), Inha University (69.8%), Hanyang University Education Research Industry Cluster at Ansan (69.5%), and University of Seoul (69.2%).

Ajou University President Choi Kee-choo visited Uzbekistan where he met with government officials to discuss educational cooperation plans. In 2021, Ajou University opened Ajou University in Tashkent (AUT), to which it exports its education system and expertise.President Choi, accompanied by Executive Director Kim Sun-yong [KH1]of Daewoo Educational Foundation and other Korean officials, visited Tashkent and Samarkand, Uzbekistan, from June 8th to 12th. The Ajou University delegation included Director Kim Sangin (Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation), Director Son Jeong-houn (AUT Foundation), Director Chang Byeongyun (Graduate School of International Studies), Professor Na Sangsin (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering), and Professor Han Man Yop (Department of Civil Systems Engineering).On the visit, President Choi signed subcontracts related to AUT. The delegation toured AUT facilities and met with students and the dispatched Ajou University teaching and administrative staff working on location. The delegation also visited the Uzbek Ministry of Economic Development and Ministry of Higher Education, where key topics concerning AUT and other educational cooperation opportunities were discussed. A major outcome of the visit was an agreement between Ajou University and the Graduate School of Business and Entrepreneurship (GSBE), an educational institution under the Uzbek Ministry of Economic Development, that will see students completing the Master of Business Administration in IT (MBA in IT) program—to be made available as a result of the agreement—acquire a double degree. The MBA in IT will commence this coming October.The MBA in IT is for employees of Uzbek government offices and the related agencies. It requires them to complete two semesters at AUT and another two semesters at Ajou University to receive a degree from both institutions. Ajou University will provide the curriculum consulting necessary and dispatch teaching staff, and Uzbek students will earn their credits at the Graduate School of International Studies at Ajou University in Korea. Ajou University and the GSBE have been planning the double degree system at the request of the Uzbek Ministry of Economic Development.The Ajou University delegation also visited Samarkand State University where it met with that institution’s President Khalmuradov Rustam Ibragimovich to discuss ideas for cooperation in the disciplines of architecture and engineering. Samarkand is Uzbekistan's second-largest city after the capital, Tashkent.The delegation's itinerary in Tashkent included visits to such establishments of Korean origin as POSCO International, King Sejong Institute, and the Embassy of Korea in Uzbekistan, and attended an informal gathering of Ajou University Graduate School of International Studies graduates and AUT students.Located in the Uzbek capital, AUT began operating in February 2021 in Uzbek government-provided sites and buildings on Ajou University's educational curricula and philosophy. Three departments—Civil Systems Engineering, Architecture, and Electrical and Computer Engineering—are running at present, with 839 first- and second-year students enrolled.Seven Ajou University faculty members, including the first vice-president, have assumed posts on location at AUT, and work together with local faculty to deliver teaching and administrative services. All learning is provided in English, with the curricula of the corresponding departments at Ajou University forming the basis of the learning. Ajou University diplomas are conferred on AUT graduates.AUT is the product of an exchange much broader than a mere transfer of teaching staff or departments. Ajou University has wholly exported the educational system that makes up its core to Uzbekistan in what is considered to be a milestone achievement in education export. Uzbek students have a strong desire to study at AUT, with the second round of registrations for 2021-2022 recording an enrollment competition rate of 7.5:1, far eclipsing the 2.7:1 seen for 2020-2021.<Meetings with AUT students and teaching staff><A meeting with Uzbek Ministry of Economic Development officials.
