Five of Hong Kong’s universities have been ranked among the world’s top 100 tertiary institutions – but the same schools were urged to do more to polish their graduates’ “soft skills” to boost their careers, according to a report released on Wednesday.
HKU ranked 25th , The University of Science and Technology jumped 5 spots to 32nd, Chinese University moved from 46th to 29th, City University advanced to 52nd, and Polytechnic University rounded the top 5.
The QS World University Rankings 2020 rated the University of Hong Kong (HKU) as the city’s best, giving it 25th place among the 1,000 institutions involved in the survey. HKU, the oldest university in the city, also ranked 25th in last year’s global report.
