The National University of Singapore (NUS) has clinched the top spot in Southeast Asia and secured an impressive 8th position globally in the latest QS World University Rankings for 2025. With an outstanding overall score of 93.7, NUS continues to uphold its reputation as a leading institution in the region and on the global stage.
Following closely behind NUS in Southeast Asia is Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU), ranked 15th globally with a commendable score of 88.4. This underscores Singapore’s strong presence in the global higher education landscape, with both NUS and NTU consistently performing well across various metrics evaluated by QS.
The QS World University Rankings, published annually by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), are widely recognized as a benchmark for assessing and comparing universities worldwide. These rankings consider factors such as academic reputation, employer reputation, international faculty ratio, faculty-student ratio, and citations per faculty. As such, they serve as a valuable reference for students, academics, and educational institutions seeking to gauge the quality and global standing of higher education institutions.
NUS's achievement not only reaffirms its academic excellence and research capabilities but also highlights its contribution to advancing education and knowledge on a global scale. The recognition of NTU further reinforces Singapore’s commitment to fostering a conducive environment for education, research, and innovation.
As universities strive for excellence in an increasingly competitive global landscape, rankings like QS World University Rankings play a pivotal role in guiding prospective students and shaping strategic decisions within the higher education sector.
