Well, this video is made based on the Times ranking, we're not saying that the ranking is right, rather, we analyze the criteria of the ranking to understand why Western unis, esp US unis are always at the top. At the end of the day, every ranking is relative, however, it does serve some purposes for students in decision making.

This is a bull shit. Iran / Eygpt have had universities from antiquity. They knew thousands of years BC about the Earth being round. The University of Gundishapoor of Persia (300-600 AC) was number one university in the world in science/medicine! The west learnt all its knowledge from the east. Yes they advanced but in the price of ripping up other people and steeling our wealth otherwise they had nothing!

rangkings are useful for highschool/undergrads or for short, kids. if you're going to do grad study, the utmost important is professor's reputation/ability, which is not always work in the top 100s universities.

Asian school like in Philippines tend to focus more on education rather than research because we don't have money to support a research. Only if we have enough fund for it, i am sure we will go beyond the global expectation.

@hujintao3 yes I'm having an amazing time here actually! sorry to disappoint you! :) i love my professors too - i'm actually taking Scots history course and all the Scots I've met have been AMAZINGLY friendly both at the university and the locals. sorry you had such a horrible time here - maybe you just didn't bother to get to know anyone! the Chinese friends I've made here have had no problems either :) so, hope you're doing well back in China or wherever you went to! LOL :)

@Kiwee I overlooked your post to me from 8 months ago.Have you joined the neo Nazi institution called University of Dundee yet? Are you enjoying yourself in that piece-of-shit university in that piece-of-shit city full of skinhead thugs? Let me know how you're getting on.Oh, BTW, did you know that one of the university's vice principals, Professor James Calderhead,is a racist who on two occasions was heard to refer to an ethnic Chinese lecturer named Dr. Janet Liao as a "Chink." Yeah,nice place.

@hujintao3

LOL yeah it's a dump

[KLguy133]

@tarafGallo then how come you are so backward ?

you're right about Irian Jaya being Aryans though. LOL

[KLguy133]

THES ranks are in English ! nuff said, if it considered other major languages such as German, Chinese and Spanish - do you think Warwick wold be "top 50" ?

Problem with NTU is that it tries to compete in English - you;ll never win go back to Chinese as you were 30 years ago

@mooglebee4: for a record Iran is not part of the Arabs world. It is an Aryan nation and the only county that managed to revive its culture after Arabs savage invasion.
