Sungkyunkwan University has topped the list of four-year universities for the fifth consecutive year. The Ministry of Education and the Korea Educational Development Institute announced the employment rate of graduates (including graduates in August 2018) in February 2019 through a university notice on January 13. In 2019, the employment rate of four-year universities stood at 63.4 percent, down 1.0 percentage points from the previous year. It has been continuously decreasing since 65.0% in 2015, to 64.9% in 2016, 64.6% in 2017, 62.8% in 2018, and 64.4% in 2019. Since the figure is based on graduates in 2019, the impact of the employment cold wave due to COVID-19 is excluded. Sungkyunkwan University recorded a 78.6 percent employment rate, ranking first among four-year universities in Seoul for the fifth consecutive year. Hanyang University (73.8 percent) ranked second and Sogang University (73.7 percent) ranked third. In particular, the gap between No. 1 Sungkyunkwan University and No. 2 Hanyang University is 4.8%p, the same as the difference between No. 2 Hanyang University and No. 10 Seokyeong University.
