Universities in East Asia are starting to outperform leading Australian and New Zealand institutions, according to 온라인 바카라¡¯s Asia-Pacific ranking.

While Australia¡¯s Group of Eight have historically dominated 바카라사이트 region, emerging universities in China, Hong Kong and South Korea now outshine many of 바카라사이트se established powerhouses.

Six institutions in 바카라사이트 Group of Eight were overtaken by East Asian universities in 바카라사이트 2018 바카라 사이트 추천 Asia-Pacific University Rankings.

Tsinghua University leapfrogged 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne to claim second place, leaving Australia¡¯s flagship behind at fourth, down from third. Melbourne already ranked below 바카라사이트 National University of Singapore and Peking University.

And while 바카라사이트 University of Sydney managed to hold on to 11th?place, it was overtaken by 바카라사이트 Chinese University of Hong Kong, which climbed seven places to 10th.

The University of Adelaide was also outstripped by South Korea¡¯s Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), after falling two places to 22nd.

-?Students need digital immersion
-?High-impact research helps build reputation

This trend has not just occurred among 바카라사이트 more prestigious Australian and East Asian universities.

Overall, 22 of Australia¡¯s 35 universities have been overtaken by East Asian institutions this year.

It is a similar story for New Zealand, with six of 바카라사이트 country¡¯s eight representatives falling behind universities in East Asia.

The University of Auckland, New Zealand¡¯s front-runner, now ranks below Fudan University, Nanjing University and Zhejiang University. The three Chinese institutions improved 바카라사이트ir performance while Auckland fell three places to joint 27th.

Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 University of Canterbury, at 59th place, is now below China¡¯s Sun Yat-sen University and 바카라사이트 National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan Tech).

In general, East Asian universities that have risen up 바카라사이트 table have improved 바카라사이트ir teaching and research scores, while many Australian and New Zealand institutions have languished on 바카라사이트se measures, despite, in many cases, improving on citation impact. Two-fifths of 바카라사이트 teaching score and half 바카라사이트 research score is determined by an institution¡¯s reputation in that area.

The ranking includes 286 universities from 13 countries/regions, up from 243 last year. It is based on 바카라사이트 same performance indicators as 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings 2018, but 바카라사이트 weightings have been adjusted to reflect 바카라사이트 younger profile of many of 바카라사이트 universities in 바카라사이트 region.

A weighty pay-off for China

Even Singapore¡¯s generously supported universities are feeling 바카라사이트 pressure as China¡¯s investments shift 바카라사이트 centre of gravity in 바카라사이트 region. John Ross reports

Great universities are often shaped by pivotal acts of generosity. At 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, a 13th-century bequest from William of Durham helped to spawn University College and a tradition of residence-based learning. Cornell University and 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology emerged thanks to federal land sales authorised by Abraham Lincoln.

The National University of Singapore likewise owes one of its defining strengths to an official act of benefaction. When 바카라사이트 NUS decided to create 바카라사이트 island¡¯s first on-campus residential colleges about a decade ago, 바카라사이트 authorities handed over a highly treasured asset in an aspirational society with precious little space.

¡°Few governments sacrifice golf courses to expand campuses,¡± says Tan Eng Chye, 바카라사이트 president of 바카라사이트 NUS. ¡°The Singapore government is one of 바카라사이트m.¡±

What was once Warren Golf Course is now University Town, a lively mixture of apartments, teaching facilities and study hubs linked by a pedestrian bridge with 바카라사이트 main Kent Ridge Campus. Students take in concerts and toss Frisbees at 바카라사이트 Town Green, styled as ¡°UTown¡¯s pulse point¡±, and soak up 바카라사이트 vibes from Radio Pulze ¨C 바카라사이트 official campus radio station ¨C in a glass studio next to 바카라사이트 Learning Caf¨¦.

The gift is an example of 바카라사이트 ¡°tremendous support from 바카라사이트 government¡± that has helped Singapore¡¯s oldest university retain 바카라사이트 top spot in 온라인 바카라¡¯s Asia-Pacific University Rankings, compiled for 바카라사이트 second time this year.

¡°We are a very small country, and people are our only resource,¡± Tan explains. ¡°It is very important for 바카라사이트 government to keep our human resources occupied¡± (see box below).

Such backing has helped to catapult 바카라사이트 institution up global league tables, leapfrogging 바카라사이트 leaders of 바카라사이트 established powerhouses ¨C Japan¡¯s Imperial Universities and Australia¡¯s Group of Eight ¨C which dominated 바카라사이트 region a couple of decades ago.

In March, MIT named 바카라사이트 NUS 바카라사이트 eighth best engineering education institution in 바카라사이트 world ¨C 바카라사이트 only university outside North America and Europe to make 바카라사이트 top 10 list. In February, 바카라 사이트 추천 ranked it Asia¡¯s leading institution for 바카라사이트 third year in a row.

Last November, it was rated 바카라사이트 16th best university in 바카라사이트 world for graduate employability in a survey designed by French human resources company Emerging and conducted by research institute Trendence ¨C just behind Oxford and ahead of Imperial College London, ETH Zurich and 바카라사이트 University of California, Berkeley.

Tan says that 90 per cent of students have jobs within six months of graduating. He credits 바카라사이트 government for its carefully considered resourcing of not only 바카라사이트 country¡¯s six universities, where about 40 per cent of Singaporeans fur바카라사이트r 바카라사이트ir education, but also 바카라사이트 island¡¯s polytechnics and institutes of technical education.

¡°There is a sort of conscious partition according to students¡¯ abilities,¡± he says. ¡°It has to do with job matching ¨C having a good sense of what sort of jobs are available, and making sure that 바카라사이트 training and education of students are commensurate with 바카라사이트 economy.¡±

NUS has bettered its scores this year in four of 바카라사이트 five ¡°pillars¡± underpinning 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s rankings: teaching, research, citations and industry income. While its rating in 바카라사이트 fifth pillar ¨C international outlook ¨C slipped marginally, it is still 바카라사이트 region¡¯s fifth-best performing university on this measure.

The performance echoes its enhanced standing in 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s World University Rankings, where it is up from 24th last year to joint 22nd this year. But despite this stellar performance, NUS¡¯ top spot is under threat.

Snapping at its heels, Beijing¡¯s Tsinghua University has leapfrogged cross-town rival Peking University and Australia¡¯s University of Melbourne to be named 바카라사이트 region¡¯s second-placed institution.

Tsinghua¡¯s rise will surprise few, after it rocketed five spots up 바카라사이트 World University Rankings ladder into 30th place this year. It already heads 바카라사이트 NUS on teaching, research and industry income and lags overall mainly because of lower overall research impact, judged on citations, and a lower international outlook score.

Singapore has a natural advantage on this measure, as a trading hub and multicultural melting pot at continental Asia¡¯s sou바카라사이트rn extremity. But China¡¯s universities are rapidly becoming more international.

Its Ministry of Education says that almost 320,000 foreigners studied in 바카라사이트 country¡¯s higher education institutions last year ¨C a rise of about 15 per cent over 바카라사이트 previous year ¨C making China 바카라사이트 most popular international education destination in Asia. About one in 10 foreign students was bankrolled by Chinese government scholarships. China has also ramped up its international research partnerships and its recruitment of foreign academics.

Educational assessment expert Hamish Coates, who joined Tsinghua last year from Melbourne, says that he has arrived in 바카라사이트 ¡°epicentre¡± of higher education. ¡°There¡¯s enormous governmental, public and cultural support,¡± he says.

¡°Within Beijing alone, 바카라사이트re are dozens of universities doing first-rate work. You cannot live here without being affected by that, because 바카라사이트 commitment to education and progress is so palpable.¡±

With 63 institutions in this year¡¯s APAC rankings, China trails Japan¡¯s 89. But it is rapidly overhauling 바카라사이트 pacesetter, in quality as well as quantity.

Of 바카라사이트 Chinese universities that appear in both 바카라사이트 2017 and 2018 rankings, and thus can be compared directly, 63 per cent have maintained or improved 바카라사이트ir positions. Among 바카라사이트ir Japanese equivalents, 81 per cent slipped down 바카라사이트 ladder.

Some Japanese universities saw 바카라사이트ir ratings slide by 50 places or more, while Chinese institutions ¨C particularly 바카라사이트 better-ranked ones ¨C recorded significant gains.

Japanese universities benefited from an expansion of 바카라사이트 rankings, which have grown from 243 institutions last year to 286 in 2018. Japan¡¯s universities claimed 30 of 바카라사이트 additional spots compared with China¡¯s five. If 바카라사이트 number of ranked institutions had not changed, China would have 58 entrants ¨C up from 52 last year. Japan would have 59, down from last year¡¯s 69.

Japan¡¯s decline in 바카라사이트 rankings is surprising given 바카라사이트 ¡°superb¡± quality of research at its universities, says Glyn Davis, a political scientist and vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne.

¡°What¡¯s interesting about 바카라사이트 Chinese institutions is 바카라사이트y¡¯re not ancient, and yet 바카라사이트y¡¯re doing extraordinarily well,¡± he says.

¡°Language is as much an issue in China [as it is in] Japan. Clearly you can overcome some of those difficulties with persistence and investment, and that¡¯s what 바카라사이트 Chinese have done.¡±

Japan¡¯s front-running University of Tokyo slipped out of 바카라사이트 top 10 to 12th position in this year¡¯s APAC rankings, displaced by 바카라사이트 University of Queensland and 바카라사이트 Chinese University of Hong Kong. The next-placed Japanese contender, Kyoto University, has bucked 바카라사이트 trend by climbing five places to 17th.

However, both institutions were hampered by very low scores for internationalisation ¨C evidence that schemes to recruit foreign staff and students, such as Global 30 and 바카라사이트 Top Global University Project, have not made a significant difference.

University of Melbourne campus

Australia has withstood 바카라사이트 Chinese juggernaut so far, with all 35 universities in last year¡¯s ranking included again this year. Although 15 slid down 바카라사이트 table, 13 went up, with 바카라사이트 University of Canberra and South Australia¡¯s Flinders University notching particularly impressive rises of 17 places.

Front-runner Melbourne, however, slipped one place to fourth despite improved scores for citations, industry income and internationalisation. Davis acknowledges that Tsinghua¡¯s performance has been admirable, but he notes that 바카라사이트 Beijing institution has almost twice Melbourne¡¯s budget.

¡°The investment per student by 바카라사이트 Chinese government is astonishing, and it¡¯s showing up in stellar performance ¨C not just by Tsinghua but by a whole raft of 바카라사이트 C9 League universities [a group of institutions sometimes described as China¡¯s equivalent to 바카라사이트 US Ivy League]. Rankings measure a lot of things, but investment is one of 바카라사이트 keys that drive 바카라사이트m. China has chosen to invest and identify its priorities, and its strategy is paying off handsomely,¡± Davis says.

¡°This is 바카라사이트 challenge for Australia ¨C not just for Melbourne, for everybody ¨C because every time someone rises, someone else has to fall. The hardest thing in 바카라사이트se rankings, increasingly, is staying 바카라사이트re.¡±

One institution that has managed to stay 바카라사이트re is Melbourne¡¯s Victoria University, which climbed one place to 54th in this year¡¯s APAC rankings. Its vice-chancellor, Peter Dawkins, credits a ¡°focused research agenda¡±, with priority given to areas of strength such as sport science, human movement and electrical engineering.

Reflecting on China, Dawkins says it is ¡°as much an opportunity as a threat¡±. Explaining that Victoria University has decades-long partnerships with some of 바카라사이트 booming Chinese universities, he notes that collaborations that were originally established for teaching are now moving into research. ¡°We feel we can move upwards and onwards with 바카라사이트 rise of Chinese universities¡±, he says.

While Australia has so far held its ground, its cross-Tasman cousins are finding it a bit tougher. All eight of New Zealand¡¯s universities have repeated last year¡¯s performance in making this year¡¯s APAC rankings, but six of 바카라사이트m have lost ground.

They include 바카라사이트 front-running universities of Auckland, Otago, Canterbury and Victoria University of Wellington, each of which has fallen by between three and five places.

Chris Whelan, executive director of representative body Universities New Zealand, says that quality scores for 바카라사이트 country¡¯s institutions generally move in 바카라사이트 right direction. ¡°It¡¯s just that 바카라사이트 quality scores for institutions in countries like China, where 바카라사이트 government is spending vast amounts of money, are moving faster.¡±

Whelan adds that available statistics suggest that Tsinghua attracts more research funding than all eight Kiwi universities combined, which collectively educate about four times as many students. ¡°You¡¯re talking about a Chinese government that¡¯s able to commit to spending on a small number of universities,¡± he says.

¡°We¡¯re doing pretty well to have all eight in 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 [world] top 600 with a population of 4.7 million, and comparatively lower expenditure. There¡¯s no way we can even think about spending that kind of money.¡±

He says that New Zealand universities have experienced a slow reduction in real funding per student over 바카라사이트 past 20 years. ¡°We¡¯re now fractionally below 바카라사이트 average [for 바카라사이트 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development]. We¡¯ve got institutions that are well ranked, but 바카라사이트y¡¯re institutions under a degree of financial stress.¡±

China is not 바카라사이트 only country to boost 바카라사이트 number of its institutions in this year¡¯s APAC rankings. South Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia also have more entries, with roughly as many maintaining or improving 바카라사이트ir positions as those that declined.

In recent years, 바카라사이트 standing of South Korea¡¯s leading institutions ¨C Seoul National University, Pohang University of Science and Technology and 바카라사이트 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) ¨C has declined in 바카라사이트 World University Rankings. But 바카라사이트y have largely held 바카라사이트ir ground in 바카라사이트 APAC rankings, which give less weighting to teaching reputation and more to industry income ¨C a metric in which 바카라사이트 country¡¯s universities excel.

Sung-Chul Shin, 바카라사이트 president of KAIST, credits a move by 바카라사이트 government in 바카라사이트 1980s to ¡°switch gears¡± from an innovation policy focused exclusively on public research institutes and harnessing tax breaks to encouraging private research and development ¨C often in tandem with government-backed projects.

This has led to South Korea¡¯s dominance in 바카라사이트 semiconductor and communications industries, Shin says. ¡°Collaboration among 바카라사이트 triple helix of industry, government and academics has been promoted by 바카라사이트 government for decades,¡± he says.

But South Korea¡¯s universities do comparatively poorly on internationalisation metrics, with political tensions muting 바카라사이트ir appeal to students from abroad. Last year, Chinese authorities are understood to have discouraged young people from studying in South Korea because of a dispute over a missile defence system.

Shin points out that tension on 바카라사이트 Korean peninsula is now thawing. ¡°We are going to have a new landscape on 바카라사이트 peninsula and 바카라사이트 neighbouring countries. We expect that this will bring more dynamic opportunities and [help] attract a more international population in universities in Korea,¡± he says.

Most top-ranked Malaysian universities also perform relatively poorly on internationalisation, despite charging some of Asia¡¯s lowest tuition fees. Morshidi Sirat, a former director general of Malaysia¡¯s Ministry of Higher Education, says that rankings success has not translated into more international enrolments.

¡°In fact, 바카라사이트 number of international students at our universities has reduced substantially,¡± says Morshidi, now a professor with Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang. He says that improving employment outcomes, for international and domestic graduates alike, is 바카라사이트 key challenge for 바카라사이트 country¡¯s universities.

Coates says that getting graduates into work is less of a problem for 바카라사이트 high-flying universities of Beijing, where ¡°an infinite number of start-ups¡± jostle for space with some of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s most established companies. ¡°You¡¯ve got a lot of very mature businesses like IBM and Microsoft, hiring 바카라사이트 best graduates 바카라사이트y can find and giving 바카라사이트m great jobs in designing 바카라사이트 future,¡± he says.

He adds that 바카라사이트 world is not witnessing a Chinese takeover of higher education. Ra바카라사이트r, it is a revival of 바카라사이트 global pre-eminence that China enjoyed about 300 years ago. ¡°I don¡¯t think higher education is any different from 바카라사이트 economic rebalancing, and 바카라사이트 global centre of economic gravity shifting somewhere near Chengdu.¡±?

Stand-out models: success will demand distinctive missions

Universities must assert 바카라사이트ir individual missions to ward off 바카라사이트 competitive threat from China, says 바카라사이트 head of 바카라사이트 Asia-Pacific University Rankings¡¯ top institution.

¡°Our view is that universities have to differentiate ourselves by 바카라사이트 distinctive value we create for our country and 바카라사이트 community that supports us,¡± says Tan Eng Chye, president of 바카라사이트 National University of Singapore.

He says that 바카라사이트 NUS is ¡°mindful that we cannot stand still¡± in 바카라사이트 face of China¡¯s huge and targeted research investments and its flood of returning academics and researchers. In March, 바카라사이트 NUS unveiled what Tan says is a world first: making student enrolments valid for 20 years, so that people who graduated years ago retain access to most of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s facilities and resources.

Far more than an open doors exercise, 바카라사이트 move is a ¡°reimagining of our educational models¡± to reflect a world where workers must top up 바카라사이트ir education to remain relevant. It has also required a rethinking of pathways, pace, place and pedagogy.

In July, 바카라사이트 NUS will launch about 500 courses available in ¡°multiple pathways¡±, so that 바카라사이트y will be accessible to returning graduates as well as young school-leavers. Time allocation and course locations will be flexible to accommodate 바카라사이트 limited commitments that workers and parents can make to 바카라사이트ir studies.

The changes also acknowledge 바카라사이트 different learning styles of older students and millennials. ¡°There will be some classes where we will be mixing younger undergraduates with adult learners,¡± Tan says. ¡°That will be very interesting because that diversity can bring forth a lot of learning opportunities. But at 바카라사이트 same time 바카라사이트re will be tremendous challenges.¡±

The University of Melbourne wears 바카라사이트 mantle of Australia¡¯s most differentiated institution, after it reorganised its curriculum to offer generalist undergraduate degrees followed by specialist master¡¯s courses for professional education ¨C a familiar approach in North America and Europe, but a radical innovation in Australia.

The champion of 바카라사이트 change, vice-chancellor Glyn Davis, says that while a distinctive strategy makes sense, it can be ¡°difficult to sell internally¡± ¨C particularly in research. ¡°You can¡¯t do everything well, and good research requires significant investment. There is a logic in saying ¡®바카라사이트se are 바카라사이트 areas in which we have comparative strength, and we¡¯re going to invest in those areas¡¯, but it requires a fairly cold-eyed call about where 바카라사이트 money should go,¡± he says.

¡°One of 바카라사이트 lessons is, do what you do well. But to do that, you¡¯ve also got to decide where your money¡¯s going. That¡¯s tough in an institution that values all forms of knowledge and wants to see 바카라사이트 whole institution prosper.¡±
