Chulalongkorn Tops Thai Universities, Ranks 117th in Asia

[webfact]

 

 

 

Chulalongkorn University has clinched top rankings in Thailand and 117th among 739 Asian institutions in the Asia University Rankings 2024.

 

This is a significant leap from its previous ranking, improving 102 spots since last year when 669 universities were included.

 

The latest list, released on Wednesday, features 19 universities from Thailand.

 

The ranking process uses five key measures of excellence: teaching (24.5%), research environment (28%), research quality (30%), industry (10%), and international outlook (7.5%).

 

Chulalongkorn University's high ranking reflects its superior performance in these areas.

Here is your list:  I would choose a school only from the top 20  (U. Singapore might be OK.  But, I think Hong Kong University once was better, before the Commies came marching in.)

ummm. for a genius you are really smart you know.

Daughter went to Thammasat, rated #6 (in Thailand) for business/economics, even though accepted at the other 3.   Submitted her application too late for Chula.   Except for 'Songkhla, we actually visited the other 3 campuses, along with a few others, talking with students & alumni, before choosing, and money well spent:

What Placed 117th in Asia. And that will be even lower on the International list. What is Chulalongkorn? Just another school in Thailand with failed prospects.

Chula being in the top 20-25% worldwide isn't actually a bad position to be in.   Especially if the student apples themselves.   Top Uni is useless if student doesn't really care to apply themselves.

 

A Thai, studying overseas, isn't the easiest thing to do, financially or socially.  Limited options for most, that's worldwide.

If fact, Columbia should be much higher on a more objective list.

 

Each of these "lists" uses different criteria, and they are biased.

 

And, many relay on students' reporting, or on number of research papers published.

 

Therefore, for example, if one criterion is numbers of paper published, there is no mention of what journals have published the papers.

In the case of some universities around here, the grad students seem to publish their articles/papers in lesser known GARBAGE publications, like Boy's Life, or something, IDK....

UCL - Master's in Microwaves & Modern Optics (space science)

Chula - Studied for an MA in Thai Studies, but I will be honest and say that I only studied 'for fun' and I was not awarded the actual certificate at the end because it carried a $2,000 fee for that bit of paper!! (You farang - you pay more!!)

Singapore and Beijing both in the top 20 band. Not surprised. 

 

- I've taught / done invited lectures at NUS Singapore, everything planned / done with excellence. Great students.

 

- I've taught at Beijing university, Executive MBA in English. Everything planned and executed with impressive quality, excellent students, want to learn, they add highly valuable discussion / application in the classroom, in case studies, in exams. Students very keen to learn about the value of leadership behaviors.

Way above Chula according to

https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2024/world-ranking#!/length/25/locations/THA/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats

Chula is in the 601-801 range and the university I went to is in the 301-350 range. I did find this article from 2016.

Now why don't you tell us all about your university's ranking assuming you graduated from one?

Yes, you see, Chula is extorting money from us. 😂

However, I like the master at UCL.

[John Drake]

Chula has started paying a lot more for research published in Q1 journals co-listed in Web of Science. You get 500,000 baht per published article. Thammasat is paying somewhat less: 350,000 I was told. And the cheapos at Mahidol I know are only paying 100,000.

Here is a good source that gives university rankings overall, regionally, and by country. And note that in the top left part of the menu, you can choose alternative ranking systems.
