AIT awarded QS five-star ratings
Ratings affirm postgraduate institute’s top international standing
T
time AIT participated in the QS Stars™ rating program, which was recently introduced as a new complementary companion to the annual QS university ranking.
As an international postgraduate institute, but not a full-fledged university and not affiliated with a particular country, AIT has always been excluded from major world university rankings. For the first
AIT was assessed across a variety of criteria based on its 2013 data, and received an overall score of four stars out of five in January 2015. “This is a great achievement considering that AIT is a small institution,” QS said, in its final report. According to QS, a typical four-star university is highly international, and demonstrates excellence in both research and teaching.
he Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand has been awarded top five-star ratings in three (3) categories –internationalization, teaching and facilities – by Quacquarelli Symonds, known as QS, one of the world’s leading higher education evaluation agencies. The QS Stars™ rating program is an independent rating system for many of the world’s best universities.
