Our university ranked 9th among Korean universities in the "2025 THE WORLD UNIVERSITY RANKINGS", maintaining the 501-600th rank following last year. The World University Rankings, published annually by Times Higher Education, a British university evaluation agency, is known to focus on research and educational conditions rather than school reputation, and evaluates university performance in five areas and 18 detailed indicators using papers, citations, and surveys by professors. The 2025 rankings was attended by 2,092 universities from 115 countries. In our university, the score increased in three out of five evaluation items. The score increased from 37.7 to 38.7 in the research environment, from 52.8 to 53.9 in research quality, and from 92.3 to 94.2 in industry-academia cooperation. Education maintained a score of 35.6, and internationalization fell 0.2 points, but the impact on the ranking was minimal. Since the 2018 ranking, it has maintained an upward trend in the ranking, receiving higher scores than the previous year. In particular, in last year's evaluation, it entered the top 500 for the first time, with an increase of 18 points in industry-academic cooperation and more than 11 points in the research environment, and this year, it has risen slightly and maintained a stable top 500. This year, it recorded the highest score among the top 500 domestic universities, and it is expected to enter the top 500 in the future. The world's No. 1 ranking is Oxford University, which has maintained its No. 1 ranking for nine years since 2017. MIT, Harvard, and Princeton University ranked second, third and fourth, while Cambridge University maintained its ranking at fifth.

2024 Summer Ajou Global Frontier Program Achievement Presentation

The "2024 Summer Ajou Global Frontier" program, an overseas study initiative supported by the University Innovation Support Project, was created to provide students with opportunities for self-development and career advancement even under challenging conditions. The achievement presentation took place on September 11th at Ajou University's Yulgok Hall Innovation Sharing Lounge. This year, a total of 30 Ajou University students participated, with 15 attending Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China in July and another 15 studying at UC San Diego in the United States in August. The presentation event was attended by the Vice President of International Affairs, the Vice President, and other administrators along with the participating students. The Vice President of International Affairs opened the event by expressing, "Seeing the students' vibrant energy after the program, it’s clear that this was a valuable experience. I hope this opportunity helped them broaden their perspectives and foster lasting friendships with international friends." The Vice President also remarked, "Many students tend to have preconceived notions about China and may hesitate to apply, but I applaud the courage of those who embraced this challenge and gained meaningful experiences." During the event, participants shared the transformations and educational insights they gained during the program, reflecting on their experiences and presenting the outcomes of their challenges. Chae Eun Jo(Department of English Language and Literature, '19), who attended UC San Diego, shared, "Using the campus gym allowed me to make friends with locals, and I took it further by running around Gold’s Gym, Venice Beach, and Santa Monica Beach, which helped me strengthen my physical and language skills, making it a rewarding time." MinKwon Choi (Department of Software, '22), who studied at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, stated, "Practicing daily Chinese expressions in conversation with locals was an effective way to improve my language skills. This Chinese language study program was so fulfilling that I’m eager to recommend it to my friends and peers." The program was entirely funded by Ajou University's University Innovation Support Project and school funds. <University of California, San Diego> <Shanghai JiaoTong University> <Choi Min Kwon is presenting a Mini Challenge>
