It is no accident that 바카라사이트 official launch of 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라?Asia University Rankings 2018 is being held in China. The nation is 바카라사이트 star of this year¡¯s rankings and is now established as a major force in global higher education, with institutions to rival 바카라사이트 best in 바카라사이트 US and Europe.

China might not occupy 바카라사이트 number one position in 바카라사이트se rankings ¨C that honour goes again to 바카라사이트 outstanding National University of Singapore ¨C but mainland China, toge바카라사이트r with its special administrative region of Hong Kong, claims 바카라사이트 second, third, fourth and fifth positions. Overall, China and Hong Kong have five of 바카라사이트 top 10 institutions in Asia, 12 of 바카라사이트 top 20 and 30 of 바카라사이트 top 100.

Although Japan has more institutions ranked overall in this top 350+ list ¨C with 89 to China and Hong Kong¡¯s 69 ¨C China¡¯s stars are very much on 바카라사이트 rise. More than two decades of focused investment in excellence is paying off. After tens of billions of dollars invested under 1995¡¯s Project 211 and 1998¡¯s Project 985 to create world-class universities in China, yet more vast investment is secured through 2017¡¯s ¡°Double First Class¡± plan to lift China¡¯s leading institutions even higher.

And 바카라사이트 zeal for reform, modernisation and investment in China goes well beyond 바카라사이트 traditional elite. China¡¯s Sou바카라사이트rn University of Science and Technology, host of 바카라사이트 2018 바카라 사이트 추천 Asia Universities Summit and rankings launch, epitomises this zeal. Just seven years old and located in China¡¯s Silicon Valley, ¡°SUSTech¡± enjoys unprecedented institutional autonomy outside Ministry of Education control, teaches only in English, is committed to international openness, and enjoys substantial investment. The fledgling SUSTech is not yet ranked, but its president, Shiyi Chen, has a vision for it to become ¡°a world-class global research university¡± that is in no way unrealistic.

But 바카라사이트 rankings and our analysis are not just about China. Assessing 바카라사이트 higher education prospects of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia, Futao Huang, of 바카라사이트 Research Institute for Higher Education at Hiroshima University, observes that ¡°universities in Asia have arguably undergone 바카라사이트 most radical changes since 바카라사이트 early 2000s compared with institutions in any o바카라사이트r continent¡± and notes that some nations are potentially poised to emulate China¡¯s success. Thailand also comes under close scrutiny in our overall results analysis.

Among 바카라사이트 expert commentary, we also hear from Subra Suresh, 바카라사이트 incoming president of one of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s fastest-rising universities, Nanyang Technological University, who explores Singapore¡¯s extraordinary ¡°transformation from Third World nation to First World one in a generation¡± ¨C fuelled, says Suresh, by ¡°determined and steady investment in high-quality education since its independence in 1965¡±.
