UTS continues lead in Australian young universities ranking
The University of Technology Sydney has maintained its national leadership in the second of the two international rankings of "young" universities announced this year.
Following on from UTS's leap last month in the 2018 QS World University Rankings, which saw it rise to 176th globally, the university has been placed 8th in the world in the QS Top 50 Under 50 Ranking announced today (13 July) and once again top ranked in Australia.
In April UTS was ranked 15th in the world and first in Australia in the 2017 Times Higher Education Young University Rankings.
QS says Australia is now home to the largest number of leading universities under the age of 50.
The 2018 edition of the QS Top 50 Under 50 Ranking, designed to highlight universities with the potential to challenge the global elite in future years, includes nine Australian universities among the 50 institution cohort.
All five of the Australian Technology Network (ATN) universities, with UTS at the head, have improved their overall position in the ranking, with QUT and RMIT University equal 18th in the world, and Curtin University and the University of South Australia ranked 22nd and 26th respectively.
