THES World Univeristy Rankings 2008
The Australian National University has pipped Stanford and Michigan, and comfortably beaten the best universities of France, Germany and China, to grab 16th place (holding onto to its 2007 ranking) in this year's Times Higher Education world university rankings.
Unfortunately the other 6 Australian Universities ranked inside the World’s Top 100 lost ground on their ranking from last year.

Any prospective student should be aware that the ratings of Australian universities might produce a list of what is regarded as Australian top universities, but this does not mean that these universities have what the student requires over all areas of study. Many of the Australian universities have reputations in various areas that are far better than the reputations that the ranked or elite level universities have for those particular areas. Two examples would be RMIT University's architecture studies and La Trobe University's nursing studies. There are also many other examples in areas such as computing, international studies, public relations, and business. The prospective student must therefore think carefully about how any university offers exactly what the student wants instead of just relying on an Australian university ranking system alone.

There is no official ranking of Australian universities as exists in some other countries. All universities used to be grouped in terms of quality but that practice was stopped because the government believed it placed limitations on the lower ranking and benefited the top ranking Australian universities, The Department of Education, Science and Training DEST teaching performance rankings Australia are not really a ranking of the universities as they relate to the experience of the students. The Australian university rankings that do exist are therefore based on independent evaluations that use different critera and approach the task from different perspectives. One of the first to undertake a rating was Asiaweek, although the best Australian universities were included with the Asian rankings in the survey they conducted.

Asiaweek's Australian top ranking universities


Asiaweek magazine spent three years compiling the first and only regional listing of Asia's best universities, They claim that they have become an authority on the subject. Asiaweek maintains an extensive databank on everything from faculty qualifications to research output to student-per-teacher ratios to data on Internet access of 114 leading multi-disciplinary institutions and science and technology schools across Asia. Unfortunately for the credibility of Asiaweek's ranking system there have been some major Asian universities withdraw from the survery. Most notable of these is the withdrawal of the prestigious University of Tokyo. Along with this many of the Chinese universities have decided not to particpate.

All of the Australian universities took part in the survey so it is still possible to get an idea about what Asiaweek thought about the top Australian universities. The only problem with the withdrawal of so many top profile Asian insitutions from the survey is that the position on the list is not necessarily correct. However, the position of each institution relative to other Australian universities can still show what Asiaweek thought of the Australian rankings.

Asiaweek's ranking of Australian universities


The original Asiaweek 1999 survey included a number of Australian universities. These are presented in the order that they appear in the Asianweek top 100 (with original Asiaweek Asian ranking position indicated).
  • 8 University of New South Wales
  • 10 University of Melbourne
  • 13 Australian National University
  • 15 University of Sydney
  • 19 University of Queensland
  • 25 University of Western Australia
  • 34 University of Adelaide
  • 46 Monash University
  • 51 Macquarie University
  • 59 University of Wollongong
In 2000 Asiaweek grouped the universities into two distinct categories and then rated them relative to other universities in that category. The distinction between 'Multi-Disciplinary' and 'Science and Technology' does not seem so relevant in the modern higher education sector. Analysing the Australian rankings shows that the classification seems to have been based on historical factors as they are mainly the old institutes of technology. Although these do lead the way in a number of areas of science and technology, they also have a very strong presence in a number of non-science and technology areas such as business. The rankings are presented for your examination but they should be viewed with a critical mind.

Australian top universities

Another way of looking at the Australian university ratings is to examine some of the groupings that have formed since the removal of the government controlled grouping system. The most important of these is the 'Group of Eight' which consists of all the previous 'Group 1' Universities (the highest ranking) along with a couple of others that have improved their performance and quality over recent years. The group of eight is regarded as the group of top Australian universities and each of these universities is able to attract resources, students and personnel because of this reputation. The group of eight consists of (not in ranking order):
  • The University of Adelaide
  • The Australian National University
  • The University of Melbourne
  • Monash University
  • The University of New South Wales
  • The University of Queensland
  • The University of Sydney
  • The University of Western Australia


Australian MBA Rankings



Financial Times MBA World Top 100 2000

Two Australian entrants on the Financial Times MBA 2000 world rankings were:

Melbourne Business School (University of Melbourne) - 57
Australian Graduate School of Management - 65

Financial Times MBA World Top 100 2003

These same two entrants were on the Financial Times MBA 2003 world rankings:

Melbourne Business School (University of Melbourne) - 64 (3 year average 67)
Australian Graduate School of Management - 69 (3 year average 55)

The selection criteria for this ranking comprised three broad dimensions: purchasing power in the marketplace, diversity of experience, and research qualities. The Financial Times rankings are regarded as the most comprehensive head-to-head comparison among business schools worldwide.

Financial Times MBA World Top 100 2004

QUT's Brisbane Graduate School of Business is a new entrant in the Financial Times Top 100 for 2004:
