The Center for World-Class Universities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University released the 2014 Ranking of Top Universities in Greater China (otherwise known as RTUGC), in which the University of Macau is ranked in 54th place and the Macau University of Science and Technology placed 57th.
According to a statement issued by MUST’s public relations office, the overall distribution of the ranking’s top 100 universities includes 64 institutions from mainland China, 27 from Taiwan, seven from Hong Kong, and two from Macau.
“MUST takes a great leap from the 72nd in 2013 to the 57th this year, making it the youngest and fastest-developing university across the two straits and four regions,” the statement reads.
The president of MUST, Chair Prof. Liu Liang, noted that the higher MUST ranking this year reflects “the University’s development strategy of placing dual emphasis on both teaching and research.”
