Image via WikipediaThe annual QS University rankings have been released; a time when most tertiary institutions prepare their PR releases in advance and hope for the best.This year as in previous years no university from Asia or Oceania ranked in the top twenty. The first Asian institution to score is the University of Hong Kong at #22, followed by its Tokyo equivalent at #25.
The first entry for Oceania is the Australia National University which follows on from Tokyo at #26.
Congratulations to my former employer NUS which has jumped up to 28th. They must be very pleased that their investment in research and quality staff is paying off.
By comparison New Zealand's top university, the University of Auckland, has fallen14 places to 82. Not exactly a trend to crow about.
The rankings are based on research, teaching, employability and internationalisation.
