We are thrilled to learn that PolyU has climbed nine places to achieve an overall ranking of 66th place globally, making PolyU one of the only two universities in Hong Kong rising in the rankings compared to last year.   PolyU also managed to improve in all ranking indicators, with the greatest improvements in “Citation per Faculty” and “Faculty/Student Ratio”. The University also demonstrated strong performance in “International Faculty” (41st place globally) and “Academic Reputation” (98th place globally). These remarkable results have placed PolyU in the top 5% of institutions ranked this year.   In addition, PolyU is proud to rise to 12th place in the latest Times Higher Education (THE) Young University Rankings 2021, up seven places from last year.
