yellowboat Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just about every school in north America or Europe is better than Chula. These metrics are more fluff than substance: Universities were being evaluated according to the following six metrics: academic reputation, 40%; employee reputation, 10%; Faculty/Student Ratio , 20%; Citations per faculty, 20%; International faculty radio, 5% and International student ratio, 5%. The production of world citizens would be more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike324 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I won't bash Chula that much, its still a good school and some of the majors such as engineering have produce pretty good students / workers. As for their intentional department its a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvr181 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Man, I am still stuck in 2017! Not sure how they rank a university for a time not yet arrived. A lot could happen during the next six months. Must be some fortune telling organisation. I guess MIT, Stanford, Harvard, CIT and Cambridge etc. must be shaking in their shoes!

lvr181 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I think I am a chemical engineer and did not attend Chulalongkorn. Actually I do not have any recognised tertiary qualifications at all YET I can still turn wine into water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrnobody Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 According to QS top 1000 ranking* 55 out of 157 or about 35% of US universities ranked above 245 32 out of 76 or about 42% of UK universities ranked above 245 There are 26,368 universities around the world.** being at 245 means you are in the first 0.9% of the list. Here are records for past 3 years*** Chulalongkorn University Rank : year 245 : 2018 252 : 2017 253 : 2016 *https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2018 **www.webometrics.info/en/node/54 ***https://www.topuniversities.com/universities/chulalongkorn-university Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maewang99 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) but the web sites in Thailand are excellent. yes? and the new multi billion baht MRO (aviation repair) center at U-Tapao will be excellent. yes? and to fix Chulalongkorn University.. all they need to do..... is pay the ajarn more money. yes? and improve the analysis and research of "education metrics" and all kinds of other stuff...... in Bangkok. yes? whereas everywhere else in the world, at least 15%, let's say, of the general population, has a love of learning.... about everything.... the schools are run by their local communities.... not from the national capitol (notwithstanding that it can be centralized in very small countries, I guess... is Luxzenborg a country? I have no idea.. I'm US) and it is the quality of the students... not the lecturers... that a university focuses on.... and in the general population.... only travel (Disneyworld, Paris, London, Magic Mountain in Valencia, Knotts Berry Farm)...... vies with reading books.... as everyone's favorite #1 or #2 leisure activity..... otherwise..... if not..... everywhere else in the world, we have found: your web sites will suck, your MRO centers will only get to do basic maintenance, not any of the 'heavy checks' which are actually profitable and no one will be willing to pay the big bucks to send their "children" to university. but this is Thailand.
