Great to see some positive news for Hong Kong universities. Three of HK universities gained in the latest Times Higher Education world University rankings.
The University of Hong Kong, however, dropped four places in the rankings to become the world’s 39th-best university – while keeping its place as the highest-ranked local institution – in the 2021 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. The fall came after HKU achieved a seven-year high in last year’s rankings.
Tsinghua University, in mainland China, remained the highest-ranked Asian institution, climbing by three spots to 20th place globally, followed by Peking University at 23rd. Tsinghua was the first institution in Asia to break into the top 20 since 2011.
This is very good news for Hong Kong and the students attending those institutions.
