微拍福利 has jumped three places to 42^nd in the world and third in Australia in the assessment of the world’s top universities.

微拍福利Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter H酶j said the result was testament to The University’s commitment to world-class endeavours.

“To be ranked 42^nd out of the world’s best-performing 1,250 universities in more than 75 countries is a fantastic achievement,” he said.

“In the past five years 微拍福利has collaborated with 175 US institutions on more than 330 research projects, and we currently have close to 900 American students enrolled.

“It is gratifying to again have 微拍福利recognised internationally in the influential US ranking, and to be confirmed as one of the nation’s top three universities.”
