Top Universities in Asia for Engineering and Technology 2015

1. University of Tokyo

Japan’s top university is also Asia’s overall leader when it comes to academic reputation. The University of Tokyo, or “Todai”, is rated top in four out of the five subject areas considered, coming second to the National University of Singapore for social sciences and management only. In the overall QS University Rankings: Asia, which combines academic reputation with anadditional eight indicators, Todai currently stands in 10th place.

2. National University of Singapore (NUS)

Again boasting a very strong international reputation across all subject areas, Singapore’s leading institution made headlines this month when it ascended to the very top of the overall QS University Rankings: Asia – marking the first time the list has not been headed by a Hong Kong-based university. Highly rated across all subject areas, the National University of Singapore (NUS) also comes top in Asia in QS’s global survey of employers.

3. Tsinghua University

China’s Tsinghua University stands at 14th place in the overall QS University Rankings: Asia, but would be within the top five if the ranking were based solely on the views of academics and employers. Breaking down the responses from academics, it’s rated within the top 10 universities in Asia for all five subject areas, claiming its strongest reputation in the engineering and technology field.
