NTU is the #1 Overseas University in QS rankings

The Nanyang Technological University has claimed the top place as the #1 Overseas University in Top 50 Under 50 Quacquarelli Symonds rankings. NTU has claimed the top ranking for the 6th consecutive year.

The latest rankings of the youngest top-performing institutions in the world for 2020 were announced by the London education consultancy firm. The Top 50 Under 50 Quacquarelli Symonds rankings were first announced in 2012, as quoted by the Independent SG. As Universities older than fifty years are eliminated every year, the list faces much change.

The Top 50 list implements the same methodology similar to World Ranking University QS to rank academic institutions. The 6 indicators that are considered are:

•    Academic standing

•    Employer repute

•    Research citations per faculty member

•    Student / faculty ratio

•    Percentage of overseas students

•    Percentage of overseas faculty members

The most prized factor in the Overseas University rankings of QS is the academic reputation.

Initially known as the Nanyang Technological Institute, the Nanyang Technological University was established in 1981. The current ranking is an extraordinary achievement for Singapore and NTU said a spokesperson for the Nanyang Technological University.

NTU is the only University in Singapore in the Top 50 QS ranking having a 91.8 weighted score. With a score of 24.9, Singapore Management University was ranked among the 71-80 position.

Both the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University are tied at the 11th position overall in the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings 2020.
