The 2024 Asian university rankings include 739 institutions. With 119 schools, Japan remains the country with the largest representatives this year. India is next, with 91 schools.
The ranking results are based on 18 indicators comparable to THE's global university rankings but with adjustments that highlight the distinctive characteristics of Asian universities.
Each university is judged in five categories covering the core missions, namely Teaching (the learning environment); Research environment (volume, income, and reputation); Research quality (citation impact, research strength, research excellence, and research influence); International outlook (staff, students and research); and Industry (income and patents).
Established as a private school in 1997 by the Ho Chi Minh City Federation of Labor, Ton Duc Thang University became a public school in 2008 after being taken over by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. It has two campuses in HCMC. The university has boosted its profile on the global academic map by being consistently listed in world rankings. |
