[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gyeongnam National University has obtained accreditation in the '2021 University Institutional Evaluation,' which corresponds to the first accreditation evaluation of the 3rd cycle university institutional accreditation by the Korea University Education Council's Korea University Evaluation Institute.

The University Institutional Accreditation System is an evaluation system introduced in 2011 to ensure the quality of university education, continuously improve quality, enhance educational outcomes and accountability of universities, strengthen university competitiveness and specialization, and secure international applicability.

This evaluation consisted of five evaluation areas and 30 evaluation criteria, including university philosophy and management, curriculum and teaching-learning, faculty and staff, student support and facilities, university performance, and social responsibility.

As a result, 14 universities, including Gyeongnam National University, received accreditation that allows them to maintain their qualification for five years.

Thus, Gyeongnam National University has verified its excellence as a regional innovation university by obtaining accreditation in this evaluation following its selection as a 'General Financial Support University' in the 2021 University Basic Competency Diagnosis and achieving 'Highest Excellence' for two consecutive years in the University Innovation Support Project performance evaluation.

The accreditation is valid for about five years, from January 2022 to December 2026, and since university institutional accreditation has been linked with government administrative and financial support projects since 2014, it is expected to greatly assist in attracting various financial support projects.
