Curtin University continues to rank in the world\u2019s top one per cent of universities and ninth in Australia, according to the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) 2021.<\/p>\n
Released annually by the ShanghaiRanking Consultancy, ARWU ranks more than 2000 universities worldwide and publishes the top 1000. It ranks universities across four research criteria: Quality of Education; Quality of Faculty; Research Output; and Per Capita Performance.<\/p>\n
Curtin University Vice-Chancellor Professor Harlene Hayne said it was satisfying to see Curtin\u2019s research capabilities again recognised on a global scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese rankings give a great insight into how others perceive our research output, which is considered among the world\u2019s very best. At Curtin, we pride ourselves in committing to research that will solve real-world problems and deliver true impact in both the community and industry,\u201d Professor Hayne said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want our current and future students to know that we value change and their ability to influence that change whether that\u2019s through research, skill-building, industry integration or simply by being part of our diverse and engaged campuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Curtin was also ranked in the world\u2019s top one per cent of universities in the QS World University Rankings (QSWUR)<\/a> 2022, as well as achieving a QS Five Stars Plus rating, the highest available for a tertiary institution. Curtin is only one of three universities in Australia to achieve the QS Five Stars Plus recognition, and one of only 13 in the world.<\/p>\n
