Eight year old university recognized in QS rankings of top 100 under 50 years old.
Khalifa University is the world’s youngest university to make it into the top 100 universities under the age of 50 in a ranking by internationally renowned university rankings guide QS (Quacquarelli Symonds). The University came in under the bracket 71-80 in the rankings.
The rankings are compiled by taking the top 100 universities from the QS World University Rankings that have been founded or established in the last fifty years. It is designed to highlight the accomplishments of universities whose performances in teaching and research are increasingly impressive given their age and resources. At only eight years of age Khalifa University is the youngest institution worldwide to be named to the list.
Khalifa University’s high rankings are in part due to its faculty to student ratio of 9 students per faculty member in the undergraduate program which allows for greater hands on attention and guidance. In addition all Khalifa University professors are required to possess a PhD and are actively engaged in both undergraduate and graduate education as well as publication of their research and other scholarly activity which ensures that students are receiving a quality education from active scientists and researchers.
“It’s an honor to be named to the top 100 under 50 ” said Dr. Tod Laursen President of Khalifa University. “It’s an even greater honor to be the youngest institution on this list. We have accomplished so much in eight years it’s exciting to imagine what we can achieve in the next eight. Right now our students are regularly making their mark in competitions and challenges as well as at conferences. We are now graduating students with PhD’s Masters and Bachelors across a wide spectrum of science engineering and technology disciplines and we boast award winning faculty who are recognized both regionally and internationally as leaders in their fields. Consistent with the UAE’s Innovation agenda we’ve just announced the launch of our new Khalifa Innovation Center (KIC) and are dedicated to translating the excellent research results we’ve produced into new products and businesses. Khalifa University is making an impact and will certainly continue to do so for years to come.”
