ABU DHABI (WAM)
Khalifa University of Science and Technology on Wednesday announced that it ranked 27th worldwide and top in the Middle East and North Africa region in the Times Higher Education (THE) Young University Rankings 2024.
The establishment moved 22 slots higher from the 49th place in last year’s ranking.
This year's ranking witnessed an increase in the number of universities listed from 605 in 2023 to 673.
Moreover, there are 499 institutions with 'reporter' status, indicating that they provided data but did not meet the “THE” eligibility criteria to receive a rank.
“THE Young University Rankings” showcases the world’s best universities that are 50 years and younger and utilise the same 13 performance indicators as the flagship “THE World University Rankings”.
Reaffirming its position as a leading educational institution on a global scale, Khalifa University also remains top in the UAE and 40th in Asia in the “THE Asia University Rankings 2024”.
Notably, universities are across all their core missions – teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook – to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons available.
