SINGAPORE: The National University of Singapore (NUS) has
been ranked 30th among the world's top 200 universities, climbing
up three notches from its previous rankings.
Harvard, Yale and Cambridge remain the world's three leading
universities.
The annual Times Higher Education-Quacquarelli Symonds (THE-QS)
ranks universities in terms of research, employability,
international profile and teaching quality.
In Asia, the NUS clinches fourth spot behind the University of
Tokyo, Kyoto University and the University of Hong Kong.
NUS President-designate Professor Tan Chorh Chuan said: "We are
pleased to be consistently ranked amongst the best universities in
Asia and the world since The Times Higher Education's world
university rankings first began in 2004.
"The results reaffirm the recognition of the world-class quality of
NUS education and research. Our outstanding faculty, students and
staff, the University's global outlook and culture of excellence,
and the support given by the Government, have all contributed to
NUS success." - CNA
