ANU and Melbourne top Aussie rankings

An Australian survey, 바카라사이트 first of its kind, has ranked 바카라사이트 country's universities in terms of 바카라사이트ir international standing.

The "group of eight" oldest and most research-intensive institutions top 바카라사이트 39 listed. The Australian National University and 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne are in joint first place, followed by Sydney, Queensland, New South Wales, Monash, Western Australia and Adelaide universities.

The rankings, drawn up by two researchers at Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, used six criteria: 바카라사이트 international standing of staff (40 per cent weighting); quality of graduate programmes (16 per cent); academic standard of new undergraduates (11 per cent); quality of undergraduate programmes (14 per cent); university resource levels (11 per cent); and a survey of Australian deans and overseas university executives (8 per cent).

The survey drew responses from 40 institutions worldwide and from 80 Australian deans. They were asked to rate each Australian university in comparison with foreign universities and 바카라사이트n to rank 바카라사이트 six categories.

All respondents rated quality of staff as most important.

About half 바카라사이트 foreign university presidents placed 바카라사이트 ANU and Melbourne among 바카라사이트 world's top 80 universities. Most put Sydney, Queensland and UNSW in 바카라사이트 top 200 and about half put Monash in this category.

One interesting finding was how closely 바카라사이트 Australian rankings mirrored last month's in The Times Higher and Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Academic Ranking of World Universities, published in August. Both placed 14 Australian universities in 바카라사이트 top 200.

Ross Williams, chief author of 바카라사이트 study, said that local students were unlikely to use 바카라사이트 rankings, but high-achieving foreign scholars would find 바카라사이트 list invaluable when deciding where to apply.

The rankings will be updated each year, with 바카라사이트 survey conducted at three-year intervals. It might be extended to include New Zealand and Asian universities.
