NTU has come in 16th in a new ranking released yesterday by the Times Higher Education for universities under 50 years old. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was placed third, following the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland in second; and the Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea in the top spot. NUS was not ranked in either survey because it is more than 50 years old and SMU did not fit the two groups' ranking criteria as it was considered a 'single faculty institution' specialising in one area - the social sciences.
