An additional metric that considers a combination of employment rate and the achievements of alumni gave NUS an edge in this year’s ranking.
SINGAPORE: The National University of Singapore is now among the top 10 higher education institutions in the world.
This year's ranking introduced three new metrics, which are commitment to sustainability, international research networks, and employment after graduation.“We began back in 2004 when the world of data, particularly in higher education, was a wildly different place,” said Mr Sowter, adding that the Britain-based global higher education analyst QS has been consistently looking for new opportunities to broaden its metrics used.
“So that collaboration metric, looking at how universities are working together around the world, is critically important in solving some of those big problems that the world faces.”The top 10 spots in the QS ranking, now in its 20th edition, are typically dominated by universities from the United States and Britain.The University of Cambridge retained its second spot, while the University of Oxford climbed up one place to third.
“This is a testament to our capabilities and commitment to providing a world-class, and interdisciplinary education to nurture agile and resilient graduates with diverse skills and knowledge for an ever-changing world,” he added in a statement.
