Ajou University received good results in two recent university evaluations


In the 2016 University Evaluation released on October 17th by The Joongang Ilbo, Ajou University climbed three notches from last year to take the 13th place along with the University of Seoul. Ajou received a total of 172 points, which is 9 points higher than the one ranked 15th. The University had only 5 and 9 points lower than the 10th and 7th places, respectively, indicating that it may take the 10th or higher spot in next evaluations.


The evaluation looked at 69 four-year universities in South Korea. The total score is 300 based on 33 indexes in 4 categories (100 points for educational environment, 100 for research activities of faculty, 70 for student education and achievements, and 30 for reputation). Ajou ranked 21st in educational environment, up six notches, and took the 7th and 11th places in student education and achievements and reputation, up eleven and five spots from the previous year, respectively. The ranking in research activities of faculty fell 4 places.


As for other indexes, the University ranked 6th in the diversity of international students, and 9th in both investment in book purchases per student and willingness of recommendation. The ratio of students participating in on-site experiments and business start-up education jumped to 11th and 9th places from 59th and 52nd each from a year earlier.


Earlier in September, Ajou took the 22nd place in the 'Asia's Most Innovative Universities' ranking released by Reuters, which was the 9th place among South Korean universities. The ranking is based on Reuters evaluation of 75 Asian universities in terms of academic papers and patent filings, etc.
