Ranking of Australian National University

University Ranking

Popular open research university Australian National University (ANU) was founded more than 50 years ago. Among the top 100 universities in the world, ANU was included by major rating publishers. Amongst some of the top 50 universities in the world, it has been listed by QS (Top Universities) since 2017. Academic reputation, faculty-student ratio, and citations per professor all received high marks for ANU. Additionally, from 2016 to 2020, the Academic Ranking of World Universities (Shanghai Ranking) ranked it in the top 100 universities worldwide.

It is among top 100 academic institutions worldwide according to two more reputable rating services, THE (Times Higher Education) and US News & World Report. ANU was ranked 47th by THE in 2017 but is now ranked 59th by THE in 2021. ANU has consistently ranked among the top universities according to US News & World Report. From 2018 to 2021, it fluctuated in the 60th to 70th spot on the rankings.

Course Ranking

Even while QS and THE have consistently placed ANU outside of the top 100 programmes, both publishers have gradually stopped including it. ANU's QS (Global MBA) ranking has increased from 151-200 in 2020 to 121-130 in 2021, nevertheless. This represents a remarkable advancement in just one year. THE (Times Higher Education) has lowered ANU's position in its PG Business and Economics ranking from 36 in 2018 to 69 in 2021.

The engineering and technology rankings from QS and THE clearly demonstrate how well-known ANU's engineering programme is. It was ranked 46th by QS in 2017, but that rating dropped to 71st in 2020. The same way, THE ranked it from 66th in 2018 to 101-125th in 2021. In addition to this, it was consistently ranked among the top 100 programmes in THE's PG Computers list from 2017 to 2021.
