USC Australia’s result in the Times Higher Education (THE) Young Universities Rankings for 2021 has highlighted its success in becoming a globally significant, world-class university.
Listed at 161 of 475 universities worldwide assessed by the rankings scheme this year, USC has finished ahead of almost two-thirds of its peers – described by THE as the “rising stars of higher education”.
The Times Higher Education website explains that its Young University Rankings list the world’s best universities that are 50 years old or younger.
