The University of Tokyo has been ranked first in Times Higher Education’s Asia University Rankings for 2014, beating out the National University of Singapore (2nd, for the 2nd year in a row) and the University of Hong Kong (3rd).

The University of Tokyo retained their crown as the top university in Asia according to the annual rankings. Thirteen countries were represented in the top 100 with universities from five countries making up the top 10 alone.

Study in Asia now!

The rivalry between Japan and China continues. While Japan has captured the top spot once again and has the most universities in the top 100, several Chinese universities have gained ground, including the University of Science and Technology of China and Wuhan University of Technology.

The Asia Rankings are judged according to the same 13 performance indicators as the Times World Rankings. The Rankings offer a look at the growing reputation of Asian universities and the competition they pose their Western counterparts in the near future. Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education Rankings, said: ‘Many Asian institutions are making strong progress in the World University Rankings, but the global list remains dominated by North America and Western Europe – for now, at least. This new table offers us a clearer picture of the Asian institutions poised to mount a serious challenge to the traditional Western elite.’

Other highlights this year include India with 10 universities in the top 100 (up from three last year) and Hong Kong with six in the top 50 (particularly noteworthy given its size).
