Ajou University was included in the world's best 200 universities in the '2017 Young University Rankings' released by Times Higher Education (THE), a U.K.-based university evaluation company.
On April 5th, THE announced the Young University Rankings, which lists the world’s best 200 universities that are 50 years old or less. Five Korean universities were included in the Rankings, including Pohang University of Science and Technology and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland topped the list, followed by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
THE releases its annual rankings of the world's best universities based on 13 performance indicators in five areas - Learning Environment (weighting: 30%), Research (30%), Citations (30%), International Outlook (7.5%), and Industry Income (2.5%). According to THE, the Young University Rankings are based on the same indicators, but academic reputation is given a lower weighting.
Ajou University was previously included in the 81-90 range of the 2016 rankings of the world's top universities under 50 years old, which was released by QS, another university evaluator based in the U.K. QS began publishing its world university rankings in 2004 based on Academic Peer Review, Citations per Faculty, Employer Reputation, Faculty/Student Ratio, and International Student/Staff Ratio.
