Top 100 Global UniversitiesNewsweek International,Aug. 13, 2006
www.msnbc.msn.com/In response to the same forces that have propelled the world economy toward global integration, universities have also become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire spec trum of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an inter connected world and collaborative research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.
2.About 20% of undergraduate in Sg U are foreigners.
To capture these developments, NEWSWEEK devised a ranking of global universities that takes into account openness and diversity, as well as distinction in research.

We evaluated schools on some of the measures used in well-known rankings published by Shanghai Jiaotong University and the Times of London Higher Education Survey.
Fifty percent of the score came from equal parts of three measures used by Shanghai Jiatong: the number of highly-cited researchers in various academic fields, the number of articles published in Nature and Science, and the number of articles listed in the ISI Social Sciences and Arts & Humanities indices.
Another 40 percent of the score came from equal parts of four measures used by the Times: the percentage of international faculty, the percentage of international students, citations per faculty member (using ISI data), and the ratio of faculty to students.
The final 10 percent came from library holdings (number of volumes).

Hurrah, NTU is better than Carnegie Mellon...
Why is our dear Govt sending our scholars there when they can get into a better Uni like NTU...?
Wonder if anyone in the US even hears of NTU or NUS before although its better than many of their Unis...lol -
There is no way that we are better than USC or UIUC, not to mention Purdue.
-
It's not the university...it's the students that set the reputation.
These statistics are meaningless...really. -
Fcuk! If NUS and NTU is better than Carnegie Mellon, how come our govt still sending scholars there?

It's the research output that pulls NUS up, particularly in the life sciences..

Back in 2004, NUS was no.18 in the world's university rankings. On the NUS website, it proclaimed itself as being in the 'Top 20 of the World's Best 100 Universities'.
Last year, it dropped to no.22. It was then changed to 'Top Quartile of the World's Best 100 Universities'. (note: you can still see this proclamation at: www.nus.edu.sg)
I wonder what proclamation they're gonna have now.
'Top Third of the World's Best 100 Universities'? -
Maybe as the ranking continues to slip, their website will simply proclaim:Originally posted by fudgester:Back in 2004, NUS was no.18 in the world's university rankings. On the NUS website, it proclaimed itself as being in the 'Top 20 of the World's Best 100 Universities'.

Our boys are way cuter. -
FYI Uni like Wiconsin at Madison, Minnesota and Washing Uni are pretty good in certain areas.. maybe not done specially well for undergrad levelOriginally posted by vito_corleone:i'm very very shocked to see schools like u wisconsin, minnesota and u washington st louis. wtf were those china commies thinking when they ranked these schools?
but grad level.. these Uni are top 30 in many areas, like Engineering, medicine, Biological Sci, Public Affairs, Comp Sci, Psychology, Business, Architecture, Law.
in some areas those above Uni are ranked top 10 at Graduate Level.
And U can easily find scholars from Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore studying for their Phd in those Uni above. -

I can't argue with that.
