21 February 2019: The º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ has climbed to no 41 in the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia-Pacific University Rankings, published today.
Last year the University placed at 64, after its inaugural position at number 81 in the top 100 of the Asia-Pacific universities list in 2017.
Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Deep Saini said that he was extremely happy with the University’s swift ascent of the rankings.
“In just two years, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ has climbed 40 places on the list,” Professor Saini said.
“It’s a wonderful achievement for º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, reflecting its place as one of the best young universities in the world.”
The THE Asia-Pacific University Rankings are calculated on the basis of five areas: teaching, research, citations, international outlook and industry income.
“This latest positioning reflects our strong performance in all these areas, our focus on maintaining a high quality of research and continually growing our research sphere and capabilities.
“We have significantly strengthened our industry and international collaborations, and º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s academics are consistently delivering innovative solutions to real-world problems.
“Our graduate outcomes are an undeniable testament to our teachers, researchers and academics, and all that we are doing at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ.”
The º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ also ranks number one in the ACT for full-time employment and starting salaries, according to The Good Universities Guide 2019.
