Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has been ranked 5th in the world in the latest Times Higher Education’s Interdisciplinary Science Rankings released today.
Jumping several spots from its 9th position last year, NTU is the only university in Singapore in the global top five, and also the only one from Asia. The top five is dominated by top American universities, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology taking pole position, followed by Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, and the University of California, Berkeley.
This Interdisciplinary Science Rankings measures a university’s interdisciplinary scope in funding, processes, and outputs (publications, research quality and reputation). NTU achieved a perfect score in one of the metrics, measures of interdisciplinary success, and performed well in volume of interdisciplinary publications and reputation for interdisciplinary science research.
A UC Riverside-led study found that holding underperforming schools accountable can yield life-changing benefits for their most vulnerable students because such schools are subsequently compelled to make changes that ultimately improve student success.
The Jesuit Order, as the carrier of the Sankt Georgen Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology (PTH), the Diocese of Limburg, and Goethe University Frankfurt aim to collaborate more closely in the future. A newly signed letter of intent outlines the goal of deepening the cooperation between the university and the higher education institution, as well as jointly strengthening teaching and research offerings. This initiative seeks to secure the future of the Catholic Theology field of study as well as the Sankt Georgen campus.
