Pohang University of Science and Technology

Founded in 1986 as the first research-oriented university in Korea, POSTECH is a young university with only 25 years of history. However, with the wholehearted support from POSCO and the POSTECH Foundation and tireless efforts of all POSTECH members, POSTECH has made enormous strides to become a top Korean and Asian university in such a short time, adding its name to the list of top universities in the world despite its comparative youthfulness.
