NUS and NTU again ranked as top Asian universities based on subjects

NUS and NTU have again emerged as the top universities in Asia based on global rankings by subjects. The 2024 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings by Subject, released on April 10, had 408 Asian universities among over 1,500 institutions worldwide. NUS and NTU ranked higher than Chinese, Japanese and Hong Kong universities in terms of the number of top 10 programmes and have done so since at least 2021. NTU was the country’s most represented institution with 45 subject entries, of which 10 were in the world’s top 10. These included subjects like communication and media studies, materials science and three engineering disciplines. An NTU spokesperson said: “With 32 subjects in the global top 50, NTU’s strong showing in the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject is a testimony of NTU’s position as a leading global university. It reaffirms NTU’s commitment to nurture graduates in an academically enriching environment, taught by faculty members who are at the forefront of their fields.” With 64 per cent of its previously ranked entries moving up the table, the Republic had significant improvement in academic reputation. QS senior vice-president Ben Sowter said the 2024 surge in rankings signals a significant recovery for Singapore after a brief stagnation in the previous year.
