Where NUS and NTU outshine Oxbridge in global rankings
One in three students at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a foreigner. The attraction is clear: NUS ranks fourth globally—behind only the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford, and Carnegie Mellon—in computer science and information systems in the 2025 QS World University Rankings By Subject. In electrical and electronic engineering, both NUS and NTU share the fourth spot with Harvard, trailing just MIT, Stanford, and the University of California, Berkeley, according to the same source. Either or both of the universities excel in other fields as well, including law, medicine, and architecture. With their strong showing in the 2026 QS World University Rankings, could NUS and NTU be seen as the Oxford and Cambridge of Asia? Sticklers may disagree, and not without reason. For one, NUS and NTU are located far closer together than the dreaming spires of Oxford are to Cambridge. More importantly, they cannot yet rival the rich Oxbridge tradition in the arts and humanities. Still, in many other fields, they are catching up—or have already overtaken—and that progress is clearly reflected in the rankings. NUS and NTU are ranked eighth and 12th respectively, just behind Oxford and Cambridge, which come in at fourth and sixth. The strong performance of Singapore's universities is no longer a novelty. This marks the third consecutive year NUS has held eighth place. NTU, which ranked 15th in 2025, has returned to 12th, a position it surpassed in 2018 and 2020 when it ranked 11th. Splitting the two Singapore institutions in this year's rankings is the University of Hong Kong at 11th. See also Singapore experts weigh in on the Covid-19 situation NUS is the only Asian university in the global top 10. The only other non-Anglo-American presence is ETH Zurich of Switzerland, in seventh. The broader Asia-Pacific region has a growing presence in the top 20: China's Peking University and Tsinghua University are ranked 14th and 17th, while Australia's University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales are 19th and 20th. NUS, NTU: Areas of excellence The Singapore universities are no longer known solely for their engineering prowess. NUS ranks 10th globally in law—making it the only non-Anglo-American university in the top 10 for legal studies. NTU stands at 82nd. In medicine, NUS ranks 18th—the highest for any Asian university—while NTU is 84th. NTU, however, shines in communication and media studies, coming in fourth behind the University of Amsterdam, Harvard, and the University of Texas at Austin. NUS ranks 14th in this field. While Oxford and Cambridge still reign supreme in the arts and humanities, NUS is gaining ground. It ranks second globally in art history, eighth in linguistics, ninth in architecture, 15th in English language and literature, and 17th in history. See also SATIRE: Pokemon GO releases sad news for its Singapore fans This academic success is underpinned by scale and diversity. With over 33,000 students, NUS has the second-largest student body among the top 10 universities—trailing only University College London, which has over 45,000 students. NTU has more than 25,000 students. International students and staff International students and staff contribute significantly to the success of both institutions. Foreigners make up 36% of the student body at NUS and 33% at NTU. The faculty is even more international, with 65% of staff at both universities coming from overseas. In comparison, Harvard has around 24,300 students, including 6,700 international students, and over 4,400 faculty and staff, only 27% of whom are international. Oxford has over 22,000 students, more than 9,000 of them from abroad, and 6,500 faculty and staff, with 44% from overseas. The international students and staff carry weight in the QS World University Rankings. QS applies the following weightage when ranking universities: Academic reputation: 30% Citations per faculty: 20% Employer reputation: 15% Employment outcomes: 5% Faculty-student ratio: 10% International faculty ratio: 5% International research network: 5% International student ratio: 5% International student diversity: 0% See also SP overcharges bill, claims they 'overestimated' $1500 There's an old story about Benjamin Jowett, the 19th-century Master of Balliol College, Oxford, who once declared, 'I am the Master of this College; what I don't know isn't knowledge.' Today, such a claim would be inconceivable. From NUS to NTU, Oxford to Harvard, the global groves of academe are constantly striving for the next breakthrough, the next frontier of knowledge.

QS World Rankings 2026: Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently expressed his approval of the QS World University Rankings 2026, highlighting significant advancements made by Indian institutes this year.

The London university that is officially better than Oxford and Cambridge for 2026, according to a prestigious ranking
It's that time of year when thousands of students across the country are finishing up their A levels and looking to the future. Some may go straight into work, but many will be aiming for top grades to get into top universities. If you're wondering how your potential uni stands up to the rest of the country, the QS University Ranking will be of interest to you. Every year, there are several reputable university ranking systems from various groups, but rarely are they quite so complete as QS. It rates every major university in the world on quality of research, teaching, student satisfaction, employability, and sustainability, giving each institution a score out of 100 then creating an overall average. The main thing that sets QS apart is that, in reaching an overall score, it gives research output a higher weighting than the other criteria. Placing higher significance on things like 'citations per department' and 'academic output' means that it can end up with pretty different results to the other leaderboards, making it a pretty interesting one to look out for. This year, one UK university made it almost to the top, coming in second place – just shy of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) – and it wasn't Oxford or Cambridge. Imperial College London came out as the second best university in the world, and best in the UK, achieving a nearly perfect overall score of 99.4 out of 100. It wasn't the only institution in the capital to make it into the top ten: University College London (UCL) ended up in ninth place with a score of 95.8. King's College London (KCL) ended up at 31st, and, surprisingly, the London School of Economics (LSE) fell six places to 56th overall. Here's how each of London's most respected universities fared in the 2026 QS World Rankings. Imperial College London Imperial maintained its position from last year, still narrowly beaten by MIT. It did, however, gain a few points, going from 98.5 in the 2025 QS list to 99.4 today. Unfortunately, that still wasn't enough to beat MIT's 100/100. Imperial excelled at employability, with a whopping 100 out of 100 on 'employer reputation'. It also had a great staff to student ratio, coming in at 99.3 overall. All of this helped it beat Oxford and Cambridge, which came in at fourth and sixth respectively on the chart. Both of those were let down by their sustainability scores. University College London UCL also remained at ninth from last year's rankings, doing particularly well in 'academic reputation', where it scored 99.9, and sustainability, where it sat at 98.5. Not much has changed in UCL's QS ratings from 2025-26, although it is notable for not having slipped down as most UK universities have. It's not surprising to see UCL get such a high score for its commitment to the environment, as it was actually named the most sustainable university on the planet by QS last year. King's College London King's College moved up by nearly 10 spots, jumping from 40th to 31st. This year, its overall score of 88.3 was supported by excellent global engagement, high levels of sustainability, and a great academic reputation. London School of Economics In the Complete University Guide's recent 2026 ranking, LSE was named the UK's third best university, so it may come as a surprise to some to see it at 56th place here – six spots lower than last year. The uni's placement likely down to a middling 'citations per faculty' score, 64, and a lacklustre 'faculty student ratio', which was at 47.2. However, LSE proved itself with its almost perfect 'employability outcomes', sitting at 99.9 overall. LSE wasn't the only UK university to slip this year. A whopping 60 percent of UK universities fell down the QS leaderboard this year, according to the Financial Times. The newspaper reckons this is due to increasing competition from institutions in India, China, and south-east Asia.
