Asia University Rankings 2023: Results Announced
The Times Higher Education (THE) have just released the Asia University Rankings 2023, a comprehensive comparison of research-intensive institutions that is trusted by students, academics, universities, industry and governments.
The universities are judged across all their core missions – teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook – using the same 13 performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings.
In 2023, China’s institutions take the top spot, with Tsinghua University and Peking University taking first and second positions for the fourth year in a row. It comes as little surprise that the country is predominant in the rankings, given that the higher education sector is attracting increasing attention for its global competitiveness. Our sister company China Admissions makes studying in China all the more accessible by helping prospective students apply to these to universities.

The Asian university in 2050
21–23 june 2023, hong kong.
2024 website
The rise of Asia’s universities has been one of the most significant developments in the recent history of higher education. The region has increased its representation from a quarter to a third of all institutions listed in the THE World University Rankings over the past five years.
The higher education sector has benefited from strong public investment, a commitment to internationalisation and strong cultural capital attached to the importance of universities.
But issues such as an uncertain geopolitical outlook, vast income differences across the region, and the economic and social aftershocks of a global pandemic will shape the next phase of Asia’s growth up to the midpoint of the 21st century.
The THE Asia Universities Summit 2023 brought together 500+ delegates to discuss what it will mean to be an Asia university in 2050 and whether there is such a thing as a distinctly “Asian” university in such an economically, culturally and socially diverse region.
The summit featured the exclusive live reveal of the THE Asia University Rankings 2023, accompanied by a detailed masterclass to explore the latest data and identify the best-performing institutions in the region.
The summit also hosted the THE Awards Asia 2023 ceremony. Now in their fifth year, the awards offer a major international platform to recognise outstanding leadership and institutional performance, and to celebrate the continent's higher education excellence in all its diversity.

This only encourages us to further work on our shared mission to engage with society to affect positive change in the world,” Yap added.

Other Philippine schools that made an appearance in the platform but were labelled as “reporter” include Cebu Technological University, Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology, University of Santo Tomas, University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines, Tarlac Agricultural University, and Visayas State University.

Times Higher Education’s (THE) Asia University Rankings 2023
by StudyMalaysia.com on July 11, 2023 | Top Stories
Times Higher Education has been and is one of the most trusted and credible references for information regarding higher education worldwide. The rankings of universities provide young people and their families with trusted guidance to help them make one of the most important decisions of their lives - Where to study? It represents a reliable source of data, insight, and expertise on higher education. The information given is based on years of a relationship with about 1799 institutions across 104 countries. Thus, it is a trusted avenue that students can fall back on to help them make informed decisions that will define their futures.
University rankings are made based on considerations of a few main criteria:
- Teaching and the learning environment - This has direct relevance to the students going to study. Attention is given to reputation survey, the ratio of staff to students, the ratio of doctorate students to undergraduate students, and the number of doctorates awarded per academic staff. The belief is that the quality of teaching at a university affects the quality of its research, knowledge production, and knowledge transfer.
- Research - It is definitely an advantage to be taught by people who are not only good teachers but also good researchers. By evaluating universities based on their research output can help educators and researchers identify the institutions that are making significant contributions to the different fields. The research component gives students a broader educational experience, and students are able to explore the effects of applying new processes through study and testing.
- Citation - The visibility and the impact of research work done at a university are seen in how much citations it receives. This year shows Asia’s growing influence on the spread of knowledge and ideas across the world, as measured by research publication citations. Over the past five years, countries in the region have significantly improved their average citation score, which measures research influence by capturing the average number of times a university’s published work is cited by scholars globally.
- Knowledge transfer - This is a process that allows research results, discoveries, scientific findings, intellectual property, technology, data, and know-how to flow among different stakeholders. This is a way to provide insight into potential approaches for research. It involves the creation, sharing, evaluation, dissemination, and adoption of knowledge.
- International Outlook - This is a marker of the university’s popularity to both local and international students. It takes into consideration international to domestic staff ratio and the proportions of research that involve international collaboration.
The 2023 Asia University Rankings feature institutions from 31 territories. This is the 11th edition of THE’s Asia University Rankings, and this year 669 universities are ranked, up from 616 last year. Thirty-one countries/regions are represented from Turkey in the west to Japan in the east. Most universities included in the rankings come from Japan (117), followed by mainland China (95), India (75), Iran (65), and Turkey (61).
Mainland China takes the top two positions for the fourth consecutive year (Tsinghua University & Peking University) The National University of Singapore takes the third position for the fourth consecutive year.
A total of 22 Malaysian institutions feature in the rankings this year, but only 3 manage to make it into the top 100. Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) has gone from being the top private university in Malaysia to the top university in the country. It is ranked 63rd in the THE’s Asia University Rankings, up from 95th last year. Universiti Malaya (UM) and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) also made it into the top 100 of this ranking. UM is ranked 66th (a drop from 55th last year) while Universiti Utara Malaysia is ranked 99th this year from 148th last year and 155th in 2021.
As rankings by different bodies are done using different criteria, results of rankings may be a bit different from one to another. Thus, at the end of the day going to the most expensive or the most prestigious university does not necessarily translate to a good education or experience. The bottom line is still to find a university that best suits your goals and where you can complete your entire degree happily.
