NTU Singapore is ranked the world’s No.1 young university for seventh straight year by QS

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has again been named the world’s best young university by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). This is the seventh consecutive year that NTU has topped the QS Top 50 Under 50 ranking, a league table of the world's academic institutions established within the last 50 years.

In a separate ranking of young universities by Times Higher Education also announced today, NTU climbed one position to No.2 globally. In the inaugural Nature Index Young University rankings last year, NTU was placed second globally.  

Although QS, Times Higher Education and Nature Index use different methodologies to rank the world’s best young universities, all the three rankings individually and collectively show NTU’s strong leadership position among ambitious, young and rapidly rising global institutions.
