Our university, SKKU ranked 89th from THE World University Ranking, ‘the top of all private universities in South Korea'.
Seoul National University ranked 64th in the global university rankings, topping the list in Korea. Sungkyunkwan University ranked 89th and held onto the No. 2 spot at domestic universities this year as last year. British university evaluation agency THE(Times Higher Education) released its results on the 11th Sep through its "THE World University Rankings". The evaluation included the top 1,300 universities from 92 countries.
Maeil Business News exclusively reports on the rankings of ‘THE universities evaluation’ in Korea. Seoul National University proved itself to be the best university in Korea this time, but its ranking dropped one notch from last year. The lower score in the internationalization category than the previous year is cited as a reason for the ranking’s drop.
Sungkyunkwan University (89th), which established itself as the top of all private universities in South Korea by making its name as the world's top 100 for the first time last year, has been ranked seven notches lower than last year. It is analyzed that the slight drop in scores in education conditions and research performance is attributable to the decline.
KAIST and POSTECH, the nation's top science and engineering universities, continue to see their rankings drop. KAIST ranked 110th and POSTECH 146th, respectively, down eight notches and four notches from a year earlier.
Given that science and engineering colleges in major advanced countries are on the rise in rankings thanks to the government's aggressive investment in the wake of the fourth industrial revolution, some point out that the decline of science and engineering colleges in Korea should be noticed from the perspective of national competitiveness.
Korea University ranked 179th, up 19 notches from last year, while Yonsei University jumped to 197th from 201 to 250 last year. Korea University, in particular, has been on a steady rise for three years in a row and received particularly good marks in part of Articles Citation Index.
Meanwhile, the honor of the world's top university went to Oxford University in the U.K. for the fourth consecutive year. California Institute of Technology ranked second, followed by Cambridge University in the U.K. ranked third.
