Pohang University of Science and Technology

POSTECH was established in December 1986 with backing from the steel company POSCO, as Korea's first university designed around research from the outset. Its first 249 undergraduates entered in March 1987. The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory's light source was completed on campus in 1994, and the university became a separate legal corporation in 1995. It remains a small, science- and engineering-focused institution with more graduate than undergraduate students.
