Inilah daftar lengkap peringkat 100 besar perguruan tinggi terbaik di dunia untuk periode tahun 2014-2015 dimana Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) dari Amerika Serikat menempati urutan pertama dalam QS World University Rankings ini. Sedangkan untuk kawasan Asia, University of Singapore (NUS) dari Singapura berada teratas atau menduduki nomor 22 di dunia.
QS Top Universities Rankings mengukur tiap universitas berdasarkan empat kriteria besar, yaitu riset, pengajaran, kemungkinan mendapat pekerjaan, kerja sama internasional, dan keberagaman di kampus. MIT yang terkenal dengan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi penelitian ini selama tiga tahun berturut-turut berada di peringkat atas untuk kategori QS World University Rankings.
Universitas yang berbasis ilmu pengetahuan lainnya, Imperial College London, menempati urutan kedua bersama bersama dengan Universitas Cambridge. Universitas terkaya di dunia yaitu Harvard menempati urutan ke empat . Sementara University College London dan Oxford bersama-sama menempati urutan ke lima.
King’s College London di urutan ke 16, dan itu berarti London memiliki tiga universitas yang berada dalam daftar 20 universitas terbaik. Meskipun beberapa pimpinan perguruan tinggi bersikap skeptis terhadap sejumlah peringkat universitas tersebut, tapi paling tidak mereka menyadari pentingnya urutan universitas terbaik ini.
Sejumlah Universitas Australia Naik Peringkat di Dunia
Menurut penilaian QS Top University Rankings, beberapa universitas terbaik Australia mengalami kenaikan peringkat, meskipun hanya sedikit. Yang menduduki peringkat tertinggi dari Australia adalah Australian National University (ANU). Kali ini, ANU menduduki peringkat ke-25, naik dua peringkat dari tahun lalu.
Selanjutnya ada University of Melbourne pada peringkat ke-33 dan University of Sydney pada peringkat ke-37. Tahun lalu, tujuh universitas dari Australia masuk dalam 100 besar, dan tahun ini delapan universitas. Profesor Margaret Harding, Wakil Kanselir ANU, menyambut baik kenaikan peringkat ini. Ia berharap, kenaikan tersebut akan menarik mahasiswa dari luar negeri untuk belajar di ANU.
“Saat mahasiswa mengambil keputusan tentang pemilihan universitas, mereka mempertimbangkan hal-hal, seperti peringkat,” katanya. Tahun ini, peringkat ANU memang naik. Namun, selama enam tahun terakhir, universitas tersebut sebenarnya banyak menunjukkan penurunan. Tahun 2008, ANU menduduki peringkat ke-16 di dunia.
Berikut adalah daftar 100 besar perguruan tinggi atau universitas terbaik di dunia versi QS World University Rankings. (Huruf yang mendapat penebalan adalah kampus dari Asia yang masuk 50 besar.)
