Hyooga 10,307 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 NUS retains Asia’s best university status in largest-ever regional ranking NTU also barged into the third spot. Singapore’s top universities has once again bested its Asian counterparts in the latest Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranking, the largest-ever regional ranking comparing the region’s best universities. According to a press release by QS, the National University of Singapore (NUS) retained its status as Asia’s best university following its 12th-place performance in last September’s QS World University Rankings. NUS rival Nanyang Technological University also rose by one place to take the regional bronze medal, while Singapore Management University booked its first appearance in the rankings in 60th place. “The QS University Rankings: Asia has expanded this year to include the region’s 350 best universities – an expansion of 50 on the previous year. They have also included methodological enhancements this year, introducing Staff with PhD in order to add another dimension to the analyses of teaching quality their rankings provide,†the press release noted. The press release added that NUS achieved the benchmark score of 100.0 in four of QS’s ten metrics, and achieves a weighted score of above 97.0 in nine of the ten. NTU also achieved perfect weighted scores for four metrics: employer reputation, citations per paper, international faculty, and proportion of outbound exchange students. - See more at: http://sbr.com.sg/hr-education/news/nus-retains-asia%E2%80%99s-best-university-status-in-largest-ever-regional-ranking#sthash.qrMH9wO9.dpuf Here is the Top 10 ranking for those interested 1.

SailorMooon 3,418 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 its interesting seeing old school prestige vs actual performance, a lot of famous unis don't live up to their rep and are coasting largely due to their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joga 1,315 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Surprised to see Korean unis that low considering how insane the schooling process is. Every major Asian country has insane schooling process. The ranking seems a bit arbitrary though, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitchcraft 1,377 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Where is Tokyo Uni? Isn't it supposed to be one of the best Uni's in Asia? I honestly thought that it would rank way better than Seoul Uni. I'm also surprised KAIST ranks higher than Seoul U... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyooga 10,307 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yeah Singapore is another level, even for East Asian universities The interesting thing is Singapore is actually a Southeast Asian country ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayaye 102 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Surprised to see Korean unis that low considering how insane the schooling process is. All schooling processes in Asia are insane... it's just that you've only seen Korea's. Also ranking of University has NOTHING to do with the competitiveness of primary and secondary education. Some of the best univs in the world are located in the United States and I wouldn't say our primary and secondary schooling is harsh by any means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
