Take a closer look at this year’s top 10 universities in Asia, including three Hong Kong universities, three South Korean, two Singaporean, two Japanese and one from mainland China. (That’s actually 11, as tenth place is shared).
See the full 2013 QS University Rankings: Asia >
1 The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
HKUST retains the number one spot it has held since 2011, a particularly impressive feat considering it was established only a little more than two decades ago. HKUST also heads the Top 50 Under 50, QS’s ranking of the world’s best universities under 50 years old. Strong government funding has clearly helped HKUST to maintain its strong performance across all indicators, even during transition from a three-year to a four-year degree model.
2= National University of Singapore (NUS)
Singapore’s flagship university comes top in the employer reputation survey and second in the academic reputation survey. Its strongest rating from academics is in the field of social sciences and management. NUS also has the second highest score for research citations, behind Tokyo Medical and Dental University.
2= University of Hong Kong (HKU)
Having topped the Asia ranking in its first two years (2009 and 2010), HKU had fallen to third, but reclaims one position this year. HKU comes fifth in the academic reputation survey overall, with its strongest faculty areas being social sciences (rated 3rd in the region), life sciences & medicine (4th) and arts & humanities (5th).
4 Seoul National University
Also maintaining the same position this year, Korea’s leading university has been slowly climbing since the inaugural 2009 ranking, when it was 8th. Seoul National University comes sixth in the academic reputation survey, and tenth in the employer reputation survey. Overall it’s a good year for Korea – the top seven Korean universities have all either maintained or improved their positions this year.
5 Peking University
Reputation is clearly the strong point of China’s highest entry, which climbs one place this year. Peking University comes third in both the academic and employer reputation surveys, but is outside the top 10 on all the other indicators used. Its strongest academic ratings are for arts & humanities and natural sciences.
6 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
KAIST also climbs one position this year, part of the ongoing success story for Korean universities. Established in 1971, KAIST comes fourth in this year’s Top 50 Under 50, and climbed to 63rd in the last QS World University Rankings. Reflecting its focus on science and technology, it gets its highest academic reputation ratings for engineering & technology (rated 6th in the region) and natural sciences (11th).
7= Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)
KAIST’s fellow Korean science and tech-focused institution is close behind, climbing two places this year. It gets particularly strong scores for faculty-student ratio (3rd in the region) and research citations per paper (4th). But while comfortably ahead of KAIST on these indicators, POSTECH lags behind in the reputation surveys – 34th in the academic survey and 40th in the employer one, compared to KAIST’s 14th and 24th.
7= The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)
CUHK falls two places this year, continuing its gradual loss of position since 2009’s inaugural QS University Rankings: Asia, when it ranked second. Its reputation appears to be considerably stronger among academic than employers – it comes 9th in the academic survey, and 22nd in the employer survey. Its strongest academic ratings are for arts & humanities and social sciences & management.
9 University of Tokyo
Down one place this year, the University of Tokyo has lost significant ground since the first Asian ranking, which it entered in third place. However, it retains an extremely strong reputation among Asian academics – it tops the academic reputation survey overall, and is rated the region’s number one in four out of the five faculty areas, coming second in social sciences behind NUS.
10= Kyoto University
Holding the same position as last year, Japan’s second top-10 entry also does very well in the academic reputation survey, where it comes fourth. Rather neatly, Kyoto University is rated 2nd for natural sciences, 3rd for life sciences & medicine, 4th for arts & humanities, 5th for engineering & technology, and 6th for social sciences & management.
10= Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
This is an impressive climb for Singapore’s second ranked university, which was 17th last year. Like HKUST, NTU is just 22 years old. Having climbed to 47th in the last QS World University Rankings, it comes second in this year’s Top 50 Under 50. It comes 6th in the employer reputation survey, 13th in the academic reputation survey, and is the region’s number one in the indicator for international diversity of staff.
英國高等教育調查公司QS（Quacquarelli Symonds）當地時間10日公布2013亞洲最佳大學排行榜（Asian University Rankings），第一名仍是香港科技大學，台灣共有12所大學在百大名單之列，比去年增加1所，但是台灣大學（台大）排名從去年的第20名，跌到第22名。
台灣的大學排名百大的12所如下：
台灣大學（第22名，比去年下跌2名）
交通大學（第30名，上升19名）
清華大學（第31名，與去年相同）
成功大學（第37名，與去年相同）
陽明大學（第45，比去年上升5名）
台北醫學大學（第50名，比去年上升14名）
中央大學（第53名，與去年相同）
台灣科技大學（第54名，與去年相同）
中山大學（第63名，比去年下跌3名）
台灣師範大學（第85名，比去年上升2名）
長庚大學（第93名，比去年下跌1名）
中興大學（第95名，比去年上升10名）
QS是專門研究高等教育資訊的調查公司，成立宗旨是促進教育、國際交流和事業發展。「QS亞洲大學排名」針對超過500所大學進行研究，於2009年開始，至今已是第5年公布亞洲大學排行榜，評審標準為：學術聲譽（30%）、僱主聲譽（10%）、學生與教授比例（20%）、每位教授發表學術論文數（15%）、每份學術論文獲引述數（15%）、國際化（5%）、海外學生交流（2.5%），以及學生到海外交流（2.5%）。
負責調查的QS研究部主任梭特（Ben Sowter）接受《中央社》記者採訪時表示，台灣今年的排名與去年差不多，沒有大幅度變化，台大只下跌2名，主要是因為其他大學競爭力提升，並不是台大本身狀況下跌，而且即使在亞洲大學排行榜下跌，仍可能在9月公布的世界大學排行榜名次上升。
梭特特別提及，交通大學表現亮眼，名次由去年的49名大躍升到30名，主要是師生比例、學術聲譽等兩項評比成績良好；而任何大學想提升排名，最重要就是加強國際合作。
