China out in front for world-class universities
Print Edition
China has overtaken Japan as Asia鈥檚 No. 1 nation for world-class universities, according to the Asia University Rankings 2015 published by Times Higher Education.
The Chinese mainland has 21 universities in the top 100 of the rankings, up from 18 last year, with Peking University in fourth place and Tsinghua University fifth.
China鈥檚 special administrative regions also do well, with six universities from Hong Kong (two in the top 10) and one from Macau in the top 50.
Although the University of Tokyo maintains its place on the list as Asia鈥檚 top institution, Japan slips to second place with 19 representatives in the top 100, down from 20 last year.
The Asia rankings use 13 performance indicators to examine each university鈥檚 strengths against its core missions 鈥 teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook, according to Times Higher Education, a weekly magazine that provides information about higher education.
鈥淭his really is China鈥檚 year. With three new entrants and some of the country鈥檚 established universities climbing up the tables,鈥 Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education Rankings, told reporters yesterday.
Baty also said that the inclusion of more Chinese universities on the list was proof that a serious commitment to higher education from a government that is prepared to invest in research and development really does pay off.
