For the first time ever, two Asian schools beat Yale in one popular university ranking
Two universities in Asia have shot up in a prominent ranking of the world’s top schools. Used by students and parents to compare schools internationally, the QS World University Rankings are prepared by Quacquarelli Symonds, a London-based company specializing in education and study abroad.
In the company’s just-released 2015/16 rankings, the National University of Singapore went from 22nd last year to 12th this year, and Nanyang Technological University went from 39th to 13th. The schools—both in Singapore—became the first in Asia to break into the top 15. Both placed ahead of Yale, which fell from 10th to 15th.
