Sharjah: American University of Sharjah (AUS) has been ranked among the top 125 universities in the Times Higher Education (THE) Young University Rankings 2024. This marks a significant advancement from its previous position last year, where it was placed among the top 250 universities under 50 years of age.
The Young University Rankings use the same methodology as the World University Rankings, assessing research-intensive universities across their core missions of teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook. However, the Young University Rankings specifically focus on institutions founded between 1974 and the present.
Dr. Tod A. Laursen, Chancellor of AUS, said, “This achievement, along with many others we have attained this year, is a testament to our world-class faculty, highly skilled staff and talented students who continuously strive for excellence in all they do. It is heartening to witness our upward trajectory in the Times Higher Education rankings and across various others.”
Recently, AUS was also named among the top 150 universities in Asia according to the Asia University Rankings 2024. Additionally, it has been recognized as one of the top 10 Arab universities in the region every year for the past nine consecutive years, based on the QS Arab Region University Rankings 2024.
