The THE/QS rankings set out to give an up-to-date and rounded assessment of the world’s leading universities. These institutions represent 20 countries with Israel represented for the first time. Whilst North America dominates with 42 universities, Europe and Asia Pacific are well represented with 36 and 22 respectively.This year’s World University Rankings will be based on a record number of responses from academics and employers, as well as on thoroughly-researched data on citations, staffing levels and the proportions of international faculty and students. More than 6,000 academics ventured an opinion on the leading universities in their own discipline. The results were weighted to ensure a fair representation both geographically and by subject grouping. (QS, 2008)
The rankings are basically compiled based on 6 distinct indicators, which are academic peer and employers' reviews, faculty-student ratio, citations per faculty, proportion of international faculty and international students.

After a year, Harvard is still standing still at the 1st place, while the other 3 universities right behind Harvard have finally been given a respective ranking each..UK n US universities occupy the TOP 10 list as always..*Brilliant*
As shown, besides ANU, the other Australian Universities ranked inside the World’s Top 100 have dropped compared with their ranking from last year.
Wondering if the standard in all Aussie universities has deteriorated or simply becoz other countries are rapidly improving?
Oh well...No matter how, it still wont change my current education location..
I'm still gonna continue with my studies n graduate from Monash..
Again, no Top 200 for Malaysian univerisities but there is a slight improvement..*Applause*
Universiti Malaya 230 (2008), 246 (2007)
Universiti Putra Malaysia 320 (2008), 364 (2007)
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia 250 (2008), 309 (2007)
UKM improved its standing quite a lot huh?
Sadly, USM has dropped its ranking..it has dropped from 277 (2006) to 307 (2007)..
N now dropping again from 307??? OMG~
Really curios how much could it possibly drop..anyway, THE-QS website will only release the rankings of those below the top 200 on Monday..
