Shanghai Jiao Tong Top 500 Global Uni Rankings 2006

August 18, 2006

Wow, it seems lately that all the world uni rankings are being released this week! :D I popped down to Lim Kit Siang’s blog today, only to see that Shanghai Jiao Tong has released their 2006 edition of their top 500 world universities rankings.

As usual, Harvard tops the list. Here’s the top 10 list:

1. Harvard
2. Cambridge
3. Stanford (which produced George W. Bush. Ok…)
4. University of California, Berkeley
5. MIT
6. Caltech
7. Columbia University
8. Princeton
9. University of Chicago
10. Oxford

Again, it would seem that only Oxbridge is deemed good enough to belong in the top 10 list of universities. American universities are really pounding all comers, especially their British predecessors. Short live the Queen then.

In Australia, it was:

1. ANU
2. University of Melbourne (nooooooooo……..)
3. University of Queensland
4. University of Sydney
5. University of Western Australia
6. UNSW (yes! :D )
7. Macquarie University
8. Monash University
9. University of Adelaide
10. La Trobe University

Well, at least Sydney Uni beat UNSW this time :D We’ll get Melbourne next time ;)
