Young University Rankings 2024: results announced
Higher education growth shifts east, but there are markedly different trends across asia.

Browse the full results of the Young University Rankings 2024
Asia is now home to almost half of the world’s young research universities, according to the latest Times Higher Education Young University Rankings.
The number of Asian universities in the list has nearly doubled in five years, climbing from 165 in 2020 (representing 40 per cent of the table) to 327 this year (49 per cent).
Turkey, India and Iran have driven the rise. Turkey now has 58 universities in the ranking, up from 47 last year and just 23 in 2020. India is represented by 55 ranked institutions, up from 45 last year and 26 in 2020; while Iran now boasts 46 universities, up from 39 last year and 20 in 2020.
The Young University Rankings can be seen as reflecting the relative development of university systems. It compares institutions founded within the past 50 years and applies the same methodology as the World University Rankings with recalibrated weightings.
As well as the increase in representation, there have been rises in the ranking positions of many institutions in Turkey, India and Iran. However, the age cut-off means that the list is inherently dynamic (as institutions drop out when they reach their 51st birthday), limiting detailed year-on-year comparisons in terms of performance.
Xin Xu, lecturer in higher education at the University of Oxford , said global higher education was “developing into a state of having various important powers, including rising ‘middle powers’”.
“Higher education in Asia has been developing rapidly, and…the middle powers to watch include India, Iran, Indonesia and Turkey,” she added.
Yusuf Ikbal Oldac, assistant professor at Lingnan University’s School of Graduate Studies and an expert on Turkish higher education, agreed that “Turkey is increasingly becoming an important higher education player in its region”.
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore has retained its place at the top of the ranking. Meanwhile, Hong Kong continues its strong showing in the top 10, but it is a mixed picture in terms of individual institutional performances. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has slipped from second place to third, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University from fourth to seventh; however, City University of Hong Kong has risen two places to fourth.

Several French universities, all of which comprise merged older institutions, dominate the top of the table and improve their scores this year. Paris Sciences et Lettres – PSL Research University Paris is now ranked second, up from third last year; Université Paris-Saclay is fifth, up from 12th; Institut Polytechnique de Paris is sixth, up from eighth; and Sorbonne University is eighth, up from 15th.
Elsewhere, Africa has beefed up its showing in the ranking, albeit not as dramatically as Asia has. Five years ago, 39 African universities appeared in the table, representing 9 per cent of the total. The continent now has 77 institutions ranked (11 per cent). Nigeria chalked up the biggest percentage increase in universities ranked of all African countries: while just one was included in 2020, now 10 feature.
Young University Rankings 2024: the top 10
| Rank 2024 | Rank 2023 | Institution | Country/region |
| 1 | 1 | Singapore | |
| 2 | 3 | France | |
| 3 | 2 | Hong Kong | |
| 4 | 6 | Hong Kong | |
| 5 | 12 | France | |
| 6 | 8 | France | |
| 7 | 4 | Hong Kong | |
| 8 | 15 | France | |
| 9 | 14 | South Korea | |
| 10 | 13 | Netherlands |
Janet Ilieva, founder and director of the consultancy Education Insight, said the countries to watch were those with capacity for growth.
“Countries with [university] participation rates below the world average of 40 per cent have significant room to grow. This is further strengthened by their demographic outlook and projected growth for tertiary education-aged learners,” she said.
“While East Asia and the Pacific currently have the largest share of global higher education, growth in the next decade and beyond is likely to mainly come from South Asia (India and Pakistan) and beyond South-east Asia, such as Nigeria.”
Nigel Healey, professor of international higher education and vice-president global and community relations at the University of Limerick , said ageing populations could have an impact on the number of universities in many East Asian countries.
A “demographic cliff” in territories such as South Korea, Japan, mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan was “forcing a number of changes, including the merger or closure of universities, especially in the countries where tertiary participation is saturated”, he said.

Is India a Safe Place for Women? Another Brutal Killing Raises the Question.
The rape and murder of a trainee doctor at her own hospital has brought up, once again, uncomfortable truths about a country that wants to be a global leader.
By Anupreeta Das and Sameer Yasir
In December 2012, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student boarded a bus in New Delhi a little after 9 p.m., expecting it would take her home. Instead, she was gang-raped and assaulted so viciously with an iron rod that her intestines were damaged. She died days later as India erupted in rage.
Nearly 12 years later, the nation is convulsing with anger once again — this time, over the ghastly rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor in a Kolkata hospital, as she rested in a seminar room after a late-night shift. Since the Aug. 9 killing, thousands of doctors have gone on strike to demand a safer work environment and thousands more people have taken to the streets to demand justice.
For a country desperate to be seen as a global leader, repeated high-profile cases of brutal sexual assaults highlight an uncomfortable truth: India, by many measures , remains one of the world’s most unsafe places for women. Rape and domestic violence are relatively common, and conviction rates are low.
This week, the Supreme Court of India took up the Kolkata case as one of fundamental rights and safety, questioning how hospital administrators and police officers had handled it and saying new protective measures were needed. “The nation cannot wait for another rape and murder for real changes on the ground,” Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said.
Gender-related violence is hardly unique to India. But even as millions of Indian women have joined the urban work force in the past decade, securing their financial independence and helping to fuel the country’s rapid growth, they are still often left to bear the burden of their own safety.
Longstanding customs that both repress women and in many cases confine them to the home have made their safety in public spaces an afterthought. It can be dangerous for a woman to use public transportation, especially at night, and sexual harassment occurs frequently on the streets and in offices. Mothers tell their daughters to be watchful. Brothers and husbands drop their sisters and wives off at work.

Education Quarterly Reviews, Vol.4 No.2 (2021)

Date Written: April 25, 2021
Higher education provides opportunities to censoriously reveal the cultural, moral, socio-economic, and spiritual issues faced by the human race. Pakistan's higher education system has many institutional drawbacks includes a lack of quality management, institutional structure, and knowledge gaps between cross-culture educations systems to improve the efficiency of the current higher education system in Pakistan. To make Pakistan an educational center, Pakistan must strengthen the education system by developing modern technology and higher education. This study focuses on low enrolment and dropout gaps, quality and quantity of higher education standards, infrastructure, facilities, and low-quality teaching methods. This study summarizes these problems with suggestions to improve higher education standards and quality through cross-culture developments, performance standards, teaching methods, and examination reforms in Pakistan's higher education system.
