North Korea’s State Academy of Sciences reportedly runs around 40 research institutes and roughly 200 smaller research centres, though these figures trace back to North Korean state reporting and could not be independently verified. Kim Il Sung University, founded in 1946 with an estimated 16,000 students, and Kim Chaek University of Technology are the country’s leading science and engineering institutions; at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, Chinese faculty were reported in mid-2025 to be beginning instruction in fields including basic medicine and applied statistics, a notable data point on continued Chinese academic engagement.
