AIT RANKED
‘TOP INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY’ IN THE WORLD IN 2015
A
sian Institute of Technology (AIT) has tied for the title of the world’s top international university in the U-Multirank 2015 Institutional Ranking. AIT claimed joint top rank in the ‘international orientation’ dimension of the newest global university ranking among 1,200 universities from 83 countries. In the second edition of the annual ranking announced on 30 March 2015, AIT stood out as the only university in Asia among the top 41 universities in the world to receive full scores under ‘international orientation’. AIT earned straight “A” grades for its student mobility, international academic staff, international joint publications and international doctorate degrees.
Though AIT President Prof. Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai deemed AIT’s global number one ranking as “remarkable”, he hastened to add that the result was not entirely unexpected. “AIT will continue to enhance its core strengths, such as our research focus and international orientation, to which no other universities in Asia come close,” President Worsak said. Overall, AIT received a total of eleven “A” scores out of the 31 criteria, “placing it among the top 12% of the institutions that show a broad range of very good performance,” U-Multirank said. AIT topped the table of five participating universities in Thailand, and was ranked 15th out of 202 selected universities in Asia.
