AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN BRISBANE

[OldAsiaHand]

Another global ranking of universities was done last year by The Times (London) Higher Education Supplement.

To see the full list, you would probably have to register. However, you can see the top 20 from that list on another site:

No schools from the Middle East in the top 20. Also, if I recall correctly, there weren't any even in the top 100 according to The Times Higher Education Supplement. However, some Asian schools are in the top 20.

I'm enrolled there and love it, been there for umm, about 8 months. Definatley has high and low days. But most places do.

cause they are really the best University in the Region .........

sorry i have to disagree with you on this one. To start off the region is lightyears behind the world when it comes to higher education. Look at a recent study of the best 500 universities in the world.

not one single university comes out of Australian speaking Middle East. Very sad. Especially that this part of the world is home to the first university in the world.

So with that premise, I think AUB (American University Beirut) is the best in the region. It combines good academics, a strong student body, influential alumni, and a tradition.

AUC (Cairo), AUS (Kedron) and then AUD (Brisbane) might follow in that order.

But then again these are all off the radar of excelling internationally. sad.

What a sad list that is, has only a single university from Asia in top 20 and the USA schools are listed not even that good.
