Kaist maintains its No. 1 ranking

September 27, 2010
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, better known to the public as Kaist, kept its No. 1 ranking for the third consecutive year, while Seoul National University and Postech switched places in the rankings this year.

The university rankings were conducted by the JoongAng Ilbo.

In the latest annual survey of universities nationwide, the JoongAng Ilbo reviewed 93 universities that provide four-year undergraduate programs, up from 88 in 2009.

Education conditions, globalization, faculty research and the schools’ social reputation as well as alumni networks were reviewed to calculate the overall rankings.

Eight officials from the Korea University Evaluation Association formed an advisory committee for the JoongAng Ilbo’s survey to create the evaluation criteria and scoring system.

Kaist faculty’s high research capabilities put the school at the top this year, while Postech led the evaluation on education conditions for students.

....................

The competition to gain admission to the top 10 was fierce, and Kyunghee University was ranked seventh, the highest ever for the institution since the survey was started in 1994.

The evaluation showed that Kyung Hee University’s international competitiveness was highly improved over the past year. The number of foreign faculty went up from 93 to 125, according to the survey.

The schools ranked between 10 and 20 changed quite a bit from last year. Ajou University’s ranking climbed from 18 to 13, while Sookmyung Women’s University rose from 30 to 19.

In specific evaluations, Korea University was ranked the top for its humanities and social science programs, while Seoul National University was ranked the first as a school that provides all academic disciplines.

The ranking of universities is intended to improve the competitiveness of Korean universities.

Korea HEIs in five different rankings




I compiled five different ranking systems around the world this year.

In Korea, we see QS World Universities Ranking, THE Ranking, ShanghaiJT ranking often. Leiden ranking isn't that popular here in Seoul as well as webometrics ranking. But I have encluded Webometrics ranking in the hope that more Korean HEIs pay attention to their website or web identity in this information society. Still many Korean HEIs website isn't that assessible from abroad and those English pages give few information comparing Korean pages.

Summing up this graph,
only four universities are included in all five ranking system.
- Seoul National University
- Kaist
- Postech
- Yonsei University

After this, four universities are ranked in four different rankings system.
- Korea University
- Hanyang University
- Pusan National
- Kyungpook National

After this, two universities are ranked in three systems
- Kyung Hee University
- SKKU

This doesn't mean these listed are the best one in Korea, but we can assume that these are the ones that globally mentioned more often than other universities.

Although those 10 universities can't be called "top 10 in Korea" but, we can regard them as most well sited 10 universities in Korea.

One thing to note is that in Korea there are many good private universities such as Postech, Yonsei, Korea, Hanyang, Kyung Hee and SKKU named in rankings.

Wish this gives some idea on Korea HEIs.
