National University of Singapore in the Top League of Universities globally Sincere congratulations to NUS for this fantastic achievement. A strong testament that the investments in education in general and tertiary education in specific are paying off for Singapore. Looking at the scores in specific criteria of this ranking it is not astonishing that NUS scores highly in employment outcomes as there is a severe crunch for talent in Singapore and NUS students and especially local talents are sought after by employees. It is also not astonishing to see that the global employer reputation is fairly weak (only 54th globally), given their short history in the top ranks. Citations per faculty (i.e. the research impact) are even lower at 64th rank. This seems to indicate that there still is more emphasis on learning and being able to understand / repeat subject matter than on actual research; or is it simply too early days for NUS’ research to be noticed and commented on globally? What is your experience with graduates from Universities in Singapore? Are they creative, always looking for new solutions, or are they content with gradually improving the status quo?    #education #singapore #learning #research #creative #university #students #employment #talentsourcing https://lnkd.in/gYJgr6DY

Creating a world-class university involves addressing numerous complex factors. Gone are the days when universities ran solely on traditional departments. In the modern era, a world-class university should have the following departments with dedicated focus and teams. 1. 𝐇𝐑 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Attract and Retain Top-tier Faculty and Students 2. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Invest in Research 3. 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Ensure Ample Resources and Funding 4.

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬: NUS established collaborations with leading institutions worldwide, including a partnership with Duke University to establish a graduate medical school in Singapore. 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤: NUS put in place various programs to ensure its students and faculty had a global perspective, such as student exchange programs, internships, and research opportunities abroad. Building a world-class university is a long-term commitment that requires strategic planning, significant investment, and continual refinement and innovation.

Breaking the ceiling or gaming the system? NUS retains its 8th place in the QS World University Rankings 2025, and NTU leaps to 15th. But let's pause and think. 🤔 Are these rankings truly a testament to excellence, or just a game of metrics? With academic reputation, employer reputation, and citations per faculty making up 65% of the score, are we favoring the old guards over fresh, innovative institutions? Sure, the new focus on sustainability sounds fantastic. But is it a genuine shift or a strategic play to score higher? And why do US and UK universities still dominate? Is it merit or a legacy of historical prestige and resources? Singapore's higher education is shining brighter, but we must ask the tough questions. Are we celebrating true progress, or just playing catch-up in a flawed system? What do you think? 💬 #HigherEducation #UniversityRankings #NUS #NTU #EducationReform #Sustainability #GlobalEducation

interesting that #NUS, my alma mater, is ranked 8th in the world in this set of rankings. 3rd in Asia too in the latest rankings. interesting also the university my son graduated from in 2021 entered for the first time at #128 but SUTD isn't what you'd term a 'full' university. As a dad, I hope he goes further in his career than me but there are more important measures of success like health, compassion, generosity and being useful to those in your circle. While SUTD may be ranked lowest among the 4 well-known Singapore universities, it is a young university of only 12yrs. it does have a track record of a large % of its graduating cohort gaming full-time employment soon after graduating and often with a starting salary higher than the other universities for similar degrees. Higher ROI perhaps from an educational cost POV. https://lnkd.in/g3ik5iXQ Do rankings matter? What does it do for the graduates?

The university has once again made its mark on the global stage with an impressive ranking in the QS World University Rankings 2024.

This significant achievement solidifies UTP's position as a leading institution in the global higher education landscape, placing it within the top 21% globally. #highereducation #privateeducation #qsworlduniversityrankings #topuniversities #timeshighereducation

NUS remains the highest-ranked Asian university, the first from the region to reach the top 10. The QS rankings, featuring 1,500 universities from 106 countries, are led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Imperial College London, University of Oxford, Harvard University, University of Cambridge, Stanford University, and ETH Zürich. https://lnkd.in/gKQVDnPR The rankings are based on nine indicators, with the highest weight given to academic reputation, citations per faculty, and employer reputation. NUS excelled in these areas and in sustainability. NUS President Eng Chye Tan said, "We are heartened that NUS has placed among the world’s top 10 and retained its lead in Asia... a testament to our whole-of-university approach to shape a sustainable future through interdisciplinary solutions." NTU’s rise was driven by improvements in employer reputation and sustainability. NTU President Ho Teck Hua highlighted the university’s zero-energy buildings and Green Mark Platinum certifications, emphasizing NTU’s global sustainability impact. "To be ranked in the top 15 shows that despite being a young university, NTU is internationally competitive," he said. Senior VP of QS Quacquarelli Symonds, Ben Sowter, remarked, "These achievements underscore Singapore’s commitment to excellence in higher education."
