The table accounts for eleven key indicators of university performance. They include academic standing, graduate employability, research quality and productivity, internationalization on campus, and the diversity of each institution’s international collaborations.

Japan has more universities in the top 50 of the ranking (11) than any other location.

Ben Sowter, Director of Research at QS, said: “This year’s results reiterate the intensely competitive, intensely dynamic nature of Asian higher education. China’s best universities continue to progress, Japanese higher education is stagnating - and Malaysia remains on the rise.”
