1. The University of Tokyo

The exception is social sciences & management, where Todai is rated second in Asia, behind NUS.

2. National University of Singapore (NUS)

The National University of Singapore (NUS) is likewise strongly rated by academics across all subject areas, coming second in Asia in the overall academic reputation survey. It gets an even stronger rating from graduate employers, rated Asia’s top university this year in QS’s global survey of employers.

Peking University also comes out as Asia’s third in both surveys – academic and employer. In the academic survey, it’s rated within Asia’s top 5 universities for all subject areas except engineering & technology.

4. Kyoto University
