Adamson University soars in 2024 QS Asia Rankings

Adamson University continues its rise as one of the top educational institutions in Asia as reported on the 2024 edition of the QS Asia University Rankings released this November 8.

According to the list published by global higher education analysis firm Quacquarelli Symonds, Adamson University was ranked in the top 5 best universities in the Philippines after it posted vast improvements in the results of QS’ annual review.

AdU placed 551-600 in Asia, an impeccable jump from its 701-750 rank in the previous year. This present ranking puts the University above 36% of the QS-listed institutions in the region, again, a far cry from last 2023 when Adamson outranked 8% of the schools in the survey.

The University was also listed as the number 88 school in Southeast Asia.
Adamson garnered its best scores in the Citations per paper, International Student Relations, Inbound Exchange Students, Academic Reputation and International Faculty Ratio metrics.

Other indicators included Employer Reputation, Outbound Exchange Students, Faculty-Student Ratio, Papers per faculty, International Research Network and Staff with PhD.

QS, in their website, said the metrics used in the Asian Rankings were similar to what is being used for the World University Rankings, although they employed additional indicators and adapted weightings developed after consultation with regional experts and stakeholders to reflect key priorities for Asian universities.

This year’s QS Asia University Rankings features 857 academic institutions across 25 different locations in the Asian region, including 16 from the Philippines.
