The University of Tokyo was named the best university in the Asia-Pacfic region and 13th globally in a list of the world’s top 1,000 universities released Tuesday. The annual survey by the Center for World University Rankings in Saudi Arabia bases its evaluation on eight indicators, including alumni employment, quality of faculty, publications, and number of international patents. Overall, Japan had 74 universities in the top 1,000, with Kyoto University ranking second and Keio University ranking fifth in Asia-Pacific. Harvard University topped the global list, followed by Stanford, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge and Oxford. Eight of the top 10 universities were in the United States, which led all countries with 229 of the top 1,000, followed by China with 84, Japan with 74 and the U.K. with 64. The center says its list is the only one in the world that measures quality of education and training, prestige of faculty and quality of research “without relying on surveys and university data submissions.” Subscribe my channel and watch many new movies straight from Japan: https://www.youtube.com/user/yurukazecom?sub_confirmation=1 Visit my page for more movies and more comments about my movies and my life in Japan: http://www.yurukaze.com/ Thank you for the music http://www.purple-planet.com/ Recorded using camera: JVC KENWOOD EVERIO GZ-E765-W
