:Kim Chaek University of Technology

Kim Chaek University of Technology was originally part of Kim Il Sung University before it was established as the Pyongyang College of Technology ({{lang|ko-Hani|平壤工業大學}}) in 1948. In 1951, during the Korean War, the college's name was changed to Kim Chaek College of Technology ({{lang|ko-Hani|金策工業大學}}).

In 1988, the college was elevated to a university ({{lang|ko-Hani|綜合大學}}). Between 1981 and 1993, a large-scale construction program doubled the size of the campus to its present 400,000m².{{Cite web|url=http://www.nti.org/learn/facilities/757/|title = Kim Chaek University of Technology | Facilities | NTI}}

The university has 18 departments ({{lang|ko-Hani|學部}}) and about 80 programs ({{lang|ko-Hani|學科}}), about 10,000 students and 2,000 staff. There are 10 research institutes and one graduate school ({{lang|ko-Hani|博士院}}). There are 54 laboratories and a library with about 600,000 volumes. The campus has a total area of 400,000 square meters.

The Science and Education Department ({{lang|ko-Hani|科學敎育部}}) under the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea exercises overall supervision, but the Department of Higher Education ({{lang|ko-Hani|高等敎育部}}) in the Ministry of Education ({{lang|ko-Hani|敎育省}}) manages administrative affairs. There are education bureaus under the people's committees in every city and/or province ({{lang|ko-Hani|市·都 人民委員會敎育局}}) that contribute to the formation of education policy, and the local education bureau could provide some input for the school.

As of 6 January 2007, Ri Won Chil is the vice president.{{cite news|last=Ri|first=Won Chil|title=With More Scientific achievements|newspaper=The Pyongyang Times|date=6 January 2007|page=4}}
