NUS, NTU move up in global university rankings
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) continued to do well in the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings, published on Thursday (Oct 2).
NUS moved up one spot to rank 25th in the world - its best placement since the annual ranking was introduced in 2010. It was also placed among the global top 50 in all six subjects measured. It achieved 13th place for Engineering and Technology, 29th for Social Sciences, 34th for Life Sciences, 41st for Physical Sciences, 42nd for Arts and Humanities, and 44th for Clinical, Pre-clinical, and Health.
NUS President Professor Tan Chorh Chuan said they are "delighted", and noted that NUS is one of only two Asian universities to be amongst the world’s top 25.
"Our consistently strong performance in international rankings is an affirmation of NUS’ top quality education and research, as well as wider impact of our work. This is also the result of the strong commitment to excellence by our faculty, staff and students,” he said.
NTU is ranked 61st in this year's rankings, moving up 15 places from last year. With this year's rankings, it has moved up 108 places in the last three years.
The university also scored full marks and maintained its number 1 global position for industry income and innovation. This measures a university's knowledge transfer by looking at how much research income an institution earns from industry, scaled against the number of its academic staff.
NTU President, Professor Bertil Andersson, called the ranking a "milestone". "By continuing to attract the best and brightest professors and students from Singapore and around the world, I expect that NTU will break into Times Higher’s top 50 universities in a few years’ time.”
