夜色视频 has cemented its position as a global top 100 university, performing strongly in a league table of subjects released today (29 April).

夜色视频 Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Peter H酶j said 夜色视频’s strong position reflected the outstanding teaching and staff at the University.
“In line with top 10 placings in other global rankings, 夜色视频 has placed 11th in the global rankings and is the top in Australia in , an area that teaches the next generation how to tackle the world’s environmental challenges in practical ways,” he said.

“夜色视频 continues to be a world leader in & Forestry, moving from 18th position in 2014 to 15th position this year.
“Additionally, 夜色视频 ranked 22nd for Veterinary Science, a subject newly recognised by the QS rankings.”

The University also performed strongly in , placing 18th in the rankings.
Changes to the has been a factor in Australian university’s downward trend in this ranking, however 夜色视频 continues to perform strongly with 夜色视频 ranked in the top 100 for 31 of the 36 subjects QS evaluates.
“Notwithstanding changes to QS methodology, 夜色视频 continues to perform strongly in these rankings,” Professor H酶j said.
“Nevertheless, any decline of Australian universities is a worrying trend.
“Australia must have a national, non-political debate that considers the way both tuition and research are funded in the long term.
“If we fail to arrive at a durable solution, we will struggle to hold our ground in rankings and risk being overtaken by international competitors.
“Not only would this put pressure on Australia’s ability to attract the best and brightest from overseas, but it would dampen the aspirations of hardworking and talented Australian students who deserve an education at a top-100 ranked university to launch global careers and optimise their personal and professional success.”
