In the Faculty Research category, Ajou ranked 11th in technology transfer income per member, which points to improved research capabilities and active industry-academia cooperation.The University’s strong performance in Retained Employment is because its experiment-oriented education produced qualified talents for related businesses.For example, the University installed clean rooms for semiconductor manufacturing on campus and sought to provide necessary talents to the companies in the neighboring industrial complexes in Pangyo, etc. Through these efforts, the University raised the employment rate of its graduates and student satisfaction also climbed because they had extensive experience in their work in advance.
