Following hot on the heels of the 2019 edition of the QS World University Rankings®, the QS Top 50 Under 50 2019 will be published later this week, showcasing the finest young universities around the world.
An opportunity for some of the less-established academic institutions to shine, the Top 50 Under 50 will be published in conjunction with the Next 100 Under 50, meaning 150 of the world’s top young universities will be included.
First published in 2012, the QS Top 50 Under 50 celebrates universities which have established a strong position in the international ranking tables in an impressively short space of time. Accumulating the levels of reputation and research impact to secure a place in the world rankings is hard enough, but it’s even more impressive when a university is under 50 years old.
The complete ranking will be published on June 21 and, as with previous years, Asian institutions are expected to dominate. Last year’s top young university in the world was the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
Of course, there are likely to be several changes since last year, many of which will be due to the fact the ranking only features universities under 50 years old. This means that several institutions drop out of the list each year simply because they have passed the 50-year marker, making space for new entries.
