UTS ranked in the top 100 universities worldwide

28 June 2023

UTS continues its climb up the QS global ranking to affirm its reputation as one of the world’s leading universities.

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has entered the top 100 universities worldwide, rising 47 places to 90th in the key global QS World University Rankings.  

For its 2024 rankings, QS initially evaluated 2963 institutions, before publishing the top 1500 universities across more than 100 countries.   

UTS Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Andrew Parfitt, said the university’s arrival in the top 100 reflects the strength of the Australian higher education system and the contribution that universities play in their communities.  

“Having another Australian university in the top echelon globally is not just good for our students and alumni, but also for employers and other partners who rely on universities for graduates and the innovative capacity university engagement brings.” 

“Importantly, the ranking reflects that UTS is a global university, serving both its local community and providing a high quality education for students from around the world.”  

Our staff are passionate about making a positive difference in the world through their research and teaching, and this ranking result recognises this.

Professor Parfitt acknowledged and thanked the work of UTS staff for the university’s extraordinary rise over the past decade, having been ranked 284th in the world in 2013.  

“Our staff are passionate about making a positive difference in the world through their research and teaching, and this ranking result recognises this,” he said. 

The ranking measures a university’s performance against a range of criteria across its teaching and research, as well as its reputation with employers and academics.    

In the latest ranking these have been updated to include employment outcomes for graduates, international networks, and sustainability. QS said the new methodology responds to a shift in wider trends in education and society, and addresses the concerns and expectations of modern students and institutions.  

For UTS, one of the biggest reasons for its rise up the international ranking over the past decade has been its focus on excellence and research impact, as measured by research citations per faculty. UTS is now third in Australia for this measure, and 52nd in the world.   

“Our academic staff are leading the field in areas such as computer science, engineering, health, creative design, science and technology, providing solutions to global challenges such as clean water and sanitation, sustainable cities, health and wellbeing, and renewable energy. Their work is already having a far-reaching and enduring impact on society,” said Professor Parfitt.
