The Korea Times has updated its University Rankings 2027 evaluation criteria to offer a more thorough and stringent assessment of the internationalization of Korean universities. This year, 60 universities are being evaluated, up from 54 last year, and the total score has risen to 200 points, up from 190 points. A new indicator measuring the proportion of full-time international faculty has been added, while the calculation method for the academic retention rate of international students has been revised to focus on degree-seeking students.
The evaluation period for research performance has also been refined. The new international faculty indicator is worth 10 points and is intended to enhance the assessment of internationalization in the education and research environment, representing the most significant change in this year's rankings. Consequently, the education category's score has been increased from 60 points to 70 points, now comprising seven indicators, such as the ratio of degree-seeking international students.
