The latest QS ranking is the 20th edition and features updated methodology using three new metrics – an institution’s commitment to sustainability, employment outcomes, and international research network, according to The Straits Times. QS has also made some changes to the weighting of some existing indicators: academic reputation, employer reputation and faculty-to-student ratio.
NUS came in seventh for employment outcomes and 15th for academic reputation. It ranks 54th globally for employer reputation and 64th for citations per faculty, which measures research impact.
According to the article, NUS president Tan Eng Chye said in a statement:
“This is a historic first for NUS to be placed within the top 10 globally, amongst many other prestigious institutions worldwide. 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.”
“This achievement was made possible by the excellent contributions and outstanding work of our talented faculty, staff and students who remain deeply committed to flying the flag of our distinguished quality of education and creating positive impact in the classroom and beyond,” he stressed.
