London, November 28, 2019 — In the QS Asia University Rankings, an impressive 550 universities feature in this year’s rankings, including 68 new entrants. The National University of Singapore (NUS) remains number one in Asia, with Nanyang Technological University (NTU) leapfrogging The University of Hong Kong (HKU) to take second place. Seventeen different locations are represented in this year’s Asia rankings, although only four regions get featured in the top 10. There’s only one new face in the top 10 this year - China’s Zhejiang University, which rises seven places to take the sixth position. This year’s rankings have been constructed using ten different indicators, which include academic and employer reputation.

• Singapore reaps the benefits of investment and internationalization: while other systems across the continent strive to emulate it, Singapore reigns supreme.
• Mainland China dominates the rankings for the number of universities, with 118 in total and four among the top-ten: remarkable progress. Until 2015, only one university from Mainland China featured among Asia’s top ten.
• Hong Kong’s top three universities drop one place each, while the next four down rise, and there is even a new entry. The performance of the Special Administrative Region in the ranking has not (yet) been affected by the protracted civil unrest.
• India boasts 96 universities, including 20 new entries but none among the top-30; The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is the top performer, placing 34th regionally.
• Japan has endured another stagnant year. Although it has eight universities in the top-30 and 87 in total, the majority have dropped. Relative regression in the research indicators is mainly responsible for this indifferent performance.
• South Korea, with 71 universities ranked, shows a persistent pattern of small falls, with Seoul National University dropping out of the top ten. However, there are still seven Korean universities in the top-100.
• Malaysia continues its noteworthy progress, excelling in the reputational indicators and the international research network. Twenty-one of its 29 ranked institutions rise.
• Thailand has two top-50 universities, one more than last year.
• Universities from the following countries also appear in the rankings: Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Macau, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
