The Korean Council for University Education (KCUE) ranked Yeungnam University's physics the best in the '2008 University Academics Evaluation'.
MEST and KCUE announced the results of the 2008 academics evaluation on 3 fields of economics, physics and oriental medicine on the 29th.
According to the results, Yeungnam University was ranked 'best' together with Konkuk University, Kyunghee University, Kongju University, Dankook University, Dongguk University, Myongji University, Pukyong University, University of Seoul, Sungkyunkwan University, Soongsil University, Ewha Woman's University, University of Incheon, Inha University, Chonbuk University, Chungang University, Hannam University and Hanyang University.
The self-evaluation system for universities that MEST announced last December refers to self-evaluation of education conditions, facilities and curriculums, and disclosing them on the internet. Thus, all 4 year universities will have to evaluate their programs according to their own standards and disclose them on the internet by the coming December.
