Peking University and Tsinghua University are once again in the top two Chinese universities in the QS World University Rankings 2024, ranking 17th and 25th respectively in the world.
The results of this ranking have aroused widespread attention and discussion.
Peking University surpassed Tsinghua University by 8 places, which means that the international community recognizes Peking University more, but the overall recognition in China is more skewed towards Tsinghua University.
What are the factors that influence the rankings of these two prestigious schools?
Tsinghua University has always enjoyed a good reputation in China, but in recent years, more and more international rankings and champions from various provinces and cities have begun to choose between Tsinghua University and Peking University, which has brought a lot of pressure to Tsinghua University.
Although Tsinghua's reputation has continued to grow internationally, its ranking and recognition at home have declined.
Does this phenomenon mean that Tsinghua is facing a challenge of internal and external difficulties?
In addition to Peking University and Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University also shines in the 2024 rankings, ranking 44th in the world, becoming the third strongest university in Chinese mainland.
The reason why Zhejiang University has achieved such results is mainly due to its scale advantage.
Zhejiang is a huge university and is considered a "giant" university, which makes it the third strongest university in Chinese mainland under the QS evaluation criteria.
Does this mean that Zhejiang University is on the rise to become an important force in China's higher education?
In addition to the top three universities, universities in the 200-300 range include the University of Science and Technology of China, Nanjing University, Wuhan University, Tongji University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Beijing Normal University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Tianjin University and Xi'an Jiaotong University.
Although there are differences in the rankings of these universities in China and the average score of admission to the college entrance examination, their performance is quite good in the eyes of foreigners and judging standards.
Do these universities need more publicity and promotion in the international arena?
Overall, Chinese universities have achieved certain results in the QS World University Rankings 2024, but they also face many challenges and problems.
As domestic journalists, we will continue to pay attention to the performance of Chinese universities on the international stage, present more objective and accurate reports for readers, and share the development and growth of China's higher education.
