Ajou University has been selected as an “Excellent Certified University,” the highest designation, in the 4th cycle (2025) evaluation of the International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS), jointly administered by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Justice, and the National Research Foundation of Korea.

The International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS) is designed to enhance the internationalization capacity of Korean universities and to assess the quality of educational environments and management systems for international students. The certification is granted based on a comprehensive evaluation of institutions’ recruitment and management of international students, academic program operations, student support services, and overall internationalization infrastructure.

In this evaluation, Ajou University was recognized for its stable and systematic operation of academic programs and support services for international students, as well as its effective student management system. In particular, the university’s continuous efforts in developing curricula and support programs tailored to international students were positively reflected in the assessment.

With this designation, Ajou University will retain its status as an “Excellent Certified University” for one year, from March 2026 to February 2027. Institutions with this status receive administrative benefits, including simplified visa screening procedures for international students, and are awarded additional points in the selection process for host universities under the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) program.

Ajou University will continue to strengthen its internationalization capacity and further enhance educational and support environments for international students.
