THAILAND'S premier tertiary institution, Chulalongkorn University, is now among the top 200 in the world, according to the latest The Times Higher Education - QS (THE-QS) World University Rankings.

The university is placed at number 166, tied with Germany's Universität Gottingen, in the 2008 list of top universities in the world.

Japan's University of Tokyo, ranked 19, is the top Asian university, while Singapore's National University (NUS) is the top Southeast Asian institution. NUS is placed at 30, tying with University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

Of the top 10 universities, led by Harvard in first place, six are in the USA and four in Britain.

Are the Times on drugs?

madjbs · 11-10-2008, 10:23 PM

It's been there for years anyway.

Those rating systems are stupid anyway, it's not like they check out each institution.

If they are judging by the quality of muff alone Chula should be ranked a bit higher.

English Noodles · 12-10-2008, 07:17 PM

Good for them.

I know an alkie unqualified "ajarn" who worked at Chula.

One day he ran out of socks and wore dirty odd ones out of his laundry basket.

I know a alkie qualified teacher who currently works at Chula.

So?

13-10-2008, 03:29 PM

Ah, but I see no qualifier for top-200 at what exactly.

Fellatio for grades?

True. Not like I was hanging around the gates watching him go into work.

I don't hang around outside universities.

THEQs uses data regarding Peer academic review, recruiter review, international faculty ratio, international student faculty ratio and citations per faculty for the rankings.

AntRobertson · 14-10-2008, 12:22 PM

Three NZ universities in the top-200. Not bad for a nation with only 6 universities.

Bit odd to see Auckland ranked over Otago though; I'm not sure you'd find many outside of Auckland who'd agree with that (and Aucklanders don't count anyway).

Hell, Indo has something like 3,000 of the suckers.... (so I've heard, I cannot find a source to verify that just yet)

good2bhappy · 14-10-2008, 12:29 PM

surely it depends upon the course of study!

Actually I got that wrong:

Auckland;
Waikato;
Massey;
Wellington(Victoria);
Canterbury;
Lincoln;
Canterbury.

So seven (although Massey and Lincoln offer pretty limited courses).
