QS 2010 QS Asian University Rankings to be published on 13 May
London, 9 May 2010
The results of the annual QS Asian University Rankings go live at www.topuniversities.com on 13 May, 2010.
Compiled by the team of researchers responsible for the QS World University Rankings™, the 2010 QS Asian University Rankings will again cast the spotlight onto Asia’s top universities.
The rankings adapt the methodology used in the QS World University Rankings™ to include more regionally specific factors. Designed to assess the full range of merits of a modern comprehensive university, they are based on four key pillars: research quality, teaching quality, graduate employability and international outlook.
In 2009 the rankings revealed the strength of Hong Kong and Japan, which together accounted for all of the top five positions.
