Five Asian universities in the top 20

Out of 1,500 universities analysed for this ranking, The United States has the highest number of universities on the list, with 197 institutions ranked. The United Kingdom follows with 90, and mainland China has 71.

The top 20 universities in 2025 are:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) leads once again with a perfect score of 100, holding its position at the top for the 13th year in a row. Imperial College London moves into second place, while the University of Oxford ranks third. Harvard and the University of Cambridge complete the top five.

HKU now ranks 17th in the world, the highest ever for the university. It joins four other Asian institutions in the global top 20: the National University of Singapore (8th), Peking University (14th), Nanyang Technological University (15th), and Tsinghua University (20th). All five Asian universities improved or maintained their positions compared to last year.

The top 20 list includes seven universities from the United States, five from Europe (including four in the UK), and three from Australia. The University of Melbourne ranks highest among Australian universities, at number 13.

How the QS ranking is calculated

The QS World University Rankings are based on a weighted scoring system designed to reflect both academic strength and broader impact. Each university is assessed across key indicators including academic reputation (30 percent), employer reputation (15 percent), faculty-to-student ratio (10 percent), citations per faculty (20 percent), and international student and staff ratios. Newer criteria like sustainability and graduate outcomes also contribute to the total score.

For instance, MIT earned a perfect score of 100 in this year’s survey while HKU received an overall score of 87.6, driven by standout performance in several key areas: International student ratio (99.3), Academic reputation (97.4) and Citations per faculty (86.4). These scores underline HKU’s strong global reputation, its appeal to international students, and its influence in research.

Local Universities Score High in Latest Global Rankings

According to the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject, the University of Hong Kong’s (HKU) Dentistry course is the second-best in the world, while its Education, Linguistics, and Geography took the third, ninth, and tenth places in their respective categories. Additionally, 39 other HKU programmes found places in the global top 50.

Several of the territory’s other top-tier colleges also had impressive showings. The Chinese University of Hong Kong has two academic offerings in the top 10 — Nursing (No. 5) and Linguistics (No. 10) — and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University had seven programmes in the top 30. Four of the City University of Hong Kong’s subjects made it to the top 50, and its Veterinary Science course entered the top 100 ranking for the first time.

Asian Institutions Gain Ground in Subject Ratings

This year’s edition of the QS World University Rankings by Subject is the most comprehensive as it evaluated more than 21,000 courses at more than 1,700 universities across 100 countries and territories in 55 subjects and five faculty areas. Places like Hong Kong, Mainland China and South Korea also saw marked improvements in their standings. The firm noted that the SAR is among the top higher education centres in the world for data science and artificial intelligence, with five universities that provide these programmes figuring among the top 50.

Marcus Tam, Grade 9

Twelve-year-old Grade 9 high school student Marcus Tam is carving out a remarkable path for himself with his impressive achievements — all while being two years younger than his peers. Recently, he gained recognition as the youngest participant in the Academy for the Talented at the University of Hong Kong and made history as the first 12-year-old high school student to join the prestigious AMIS festival in Düsseldorf, Germany. The commendable results he received in the Gauss Math Competition hosted by the University of Waterloo are another addition to his long list of accomplishments.

Marcus’s musical talent earned him a silver award at the Bach Musical Composition Competition last year. He’s also an accomplished writer, having already written three books — one short story and two collections of poems. As a committee member of the Secondary Student Council, he’s involved in organising various initiatives, including food drives and Model United Nations. He also believes in giving back to the community and founded an extracurricular activity to teach the Spanish language and culture.

Marcus credits the supportive atmosphere at ASHK for motivating him to strive for excellence and embrace every opportunity for growth. “At ASHK, student life is vibrant and enriching, creating an environment that fosters a deep love for learning. My insatiable curiosity drives me to excel in all areas of my studies, particularly in English and Music. I find joy in creative writing and crafting short stories and poetry, and I eagerly participate in competitions like the Spelling Bee, where I was a winner during Literacy Week. I also had the honour of performing at the AMIS Honour Jazz Festival in Germany and at the Hong Kong Jazz Festival 2024,” says Marcus.

When asked what his goals are, Marcus says he hopes to combine a career in medicine with his love for music. “I’m excited about the prospect of integrating my passion for music with my medical studies. The skills and insights I’ve gained from my teachers at ASHK will be invaluable as I pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. I envision a future where I can combine my interests in music and medicine by using the therapeutic power of music to enhance patient care and well-being,” he says.

Elsa Wong, Grade 9

Elsa Wong moved to ASHK from a local primary school, where she nurtured her love of reading by immersing herself in classic Chinese literature. Once she moved to ASHK for her secondary school education, she started reading a variety of English books — from classics like The Wizard of Oz to modern works like the Harry Potter series. “I joined ASHK in Grade 7 from a local school in Hong Kong. The first year was thrilling and nerve-racking, but I learned so much from the experience,” says Elsa, recalling how she would look up the words in the dictionary while she read English books and benefitted from the guidance her teachers gave her to improve her writing.

Elsa has come a long way since then and is now an active member of Model United Nations and the Battle of the Books Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs). “Together with other friends, we founded a Writing Club ECA. With the teacher’s help, we planned ice-breaker games, introduced different websites and competitions, and other fun writing activities. I also started the ASHK Stories, a collection of short stories about school life, personal experiences, and reflections, as well as fantastical tales,” she explains.

Her involvement in several charity events has inspired Elsa to make a positive impact in the community. “I’d love to open an orphanage one day — being inspired and influenced by teachers and my parents, I believe it is possible to create a warm and loving environment for orphans such as from my favourite book, The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill,” says Elsa, adding that she’d like to encourage fellow writers to discover their voices, unlock their creative potential, and achieve their goals.

Apple Wang, Grade 12

Grade 12 student Apple Wang is in the final year of her two-year IBDP course, which she balances with being an international athlete. Apple has played ice hockey for more than seven years and, in 2023, she was selected to play for Team Hong Kong, China at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Women’s World Championship. She’s also attended tournaments in Romania and more recently, Istanbul. A self-confessed high achiever, she’s also won the ASHK Principal’s Award and excels in biology, chemistry, psychology, maths, English, and Chinese.

Apple says being a student athlete has helped her balance her time well and place a high value on friendship, teamwork, and perseverance. “The whole experience of playing internationally was very memorable. It was the first time in the history of Hong Kong ice hockey where we got first place as champions and it brought attention and national support to the entire sport after Covid. I still play in the division, train 3-6 times a week, and am the captain of my local team,” says Apple, adding that playing a sport regularly at such a high level has given her a strong work ethic that has helped her keep her grades up.

With such a busy schedule, it’s important to have the right kind of care network, which Apple says she gets from her teachers at ASHK. “My teachers are very supportive and caring when it comes to me and my dedication to ice hockey. They allow me to have time to play and take time off school. I also have a mentor who is helping me with my maths I want to get good results from my IBDP.”

Apple adds that her teachers also recognise her ability to bring out the best in her peers. “They’ve said that I’m a caring member of the school who encourages and motivates teammates to perform at their best. My school report also says I have a positive attitude and kindness, which has earned the respect and admiration of peers and other teachers. I’m humbled and feel honoured to achieve this,” she says.

Other varsities in the SAR that made the top 100 are the Chinese University of Hong Kong (No. 36), the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (No. 47), the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (57), and City University of Hong Kong (No. 62). Most of the Hong Kong institutions included in this year’s rankings improved their positions from 2024, with only Lingnan University dropping to the 711-720 range from last year’s 641-650 category.

The annual ranking is formulated by Britain-based education information firm Quacquarelli Symonds, and this year’s list is its largest ever, featuring over 1,500 universities across 105 higher education systems. It uses several criteria to rank universities, such as academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-student ratio, citations per faculty, international faculty ratio, international student ratio, international research network, employment outcomes, and sustainability.

According to Quacquarelli Symonds officials, Hong Kong’s universities are among the world’s most improved institutions after making significant gains in their reputation among employers and research performance. However, they still face challenges when it comes to employment outcomes for graduates, which the firm says they need to balance with the city’s evolving economic and political landscape.

With this move, Guidepost Montessori now has 27 campuses across Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, and Mainland China. “We are thrilled to welcome Woodland Schools into the Guidepost Montessori family,” says Steve Xu, CEO and Founder, CEG, adding. “This allows us to further solidify our commitment to providing more families with access to high-quality Montessori education and a supportive community.”

A holistic education experience

Guidepost Montessori is dedicated to upholding the child-centred principles that have been at the heart of Woodland’s programme. “Completing this transition will mean a full, authentic Montessori curriculum designed for today’s students. That’s our pledge to the parents we serve,” says Xu, also a proud parent of two children in Guidepost schools.

The expansion and growth reflect a dedication to providing a holistic education experience that truly allows families to have it all. “Why should parents choose between a happy school and an academically challenging school? We firmly believe that you can have it all, and at Guidepost Montessori, your child’s education can be both joyful and rigorous,” says Amanda Guo, Vice President of Schools, CEG, also a Guidepost parent.

Customised curriculum for each child

At Guidepost, the authentic Montessori curriculum is scientifically structured to support the developmental needs of all children, while being uniquely customised to each individual child’s needs and interests. With Guidepost’s approach to dual-language learning, the whole curriculum is available in both English and Mandarin, and every classroom has a full-time English teacher and full-time Mandarin teacher.

Commitment to parents and communities

One thing that makes Guidepost different is the experience provided to parents. Even busy parents can be fully engaged in their children’s education easily with real-time insight into their daily activities and progression through the curriculum. Guidepost Montessori makes billing easy too, accepting credit card payments at no extra cost, and charging only tuition fees, rather than additional fees such as capital levies or registration fees.

As Guidepost Montessori expands, it remains committed to building close-knit school environments while offering the advantages of a larger network. “Our goal is to create not just exceptional schools, but thriving communities,” adds Matt Sears, Vice President of Operations, CEG, and a Guidepost parent. “Families can enjoy the sense of familiarity and personal connection within their campus while gaining access to a larger network of resources and benefits like monthly birthday parties, free events for Guidepost families, seasonal camps across Asia, and smooth transfers if a family ever relocates.”

Visitors to a Guidepost campus will have the opportunity to witness the difference first-hand, and experience the way Guidepost Montessori serves families across Asia.

FAQ about kindergartens in Hong Kong

* This article was done in collaboration with the above-mentioned kindergarten. Reach out if you’d like to be included!

The school, located in Sai Ying Pun, opened in 2019 to provide families living on Hong Kong Island the option of sending their pre-nursery and kindergarten-aged children to an educational institution that draws upon the rich heritage and ethos of the almost 160-year-old Malvern College UK. Here, pupils can attend half-day or whole-day classes, during which their potential will be unlocked with a range of stimulating and developmental learning experiences.

Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum

The Island West campus of Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum designed for children aged between two and five years old. The programme uses a combination of structured and free play that encourages pupils to be inquisitive by participating in hands-on activities. It sets expectations for each age and stage of a child’s developmental progress, while allowing them to form relationships so they can thrive socially and emotionally.

Reggio Emilia-inspired campus design

Pupils spend their days in a school in which the environment is seen as the third teacher. The campus is, therefore, not divided into traditional walled classrooms, but instead has an open-plan layout in which learning areas are organised around the central indoor play area. Areas of learning and development from the EYFS curriculum are carefully reflected between the open classrooms — such as the cosy library nook and sandpit — where children acquire knowledge and social skills.

Bilingual Mandarin programme

Children who enrol at the school will have daily exposure to English and Chinese to ensure they have the greatest possible proficiency and confidence in both the written and spoken languages. Each class has one native English and native Mandarin teacher, along with their teaching partner. Pupils will also have one dedicated English Circle Time and one Mandarin Circle Time. The goal is for the children to be confident in reading, writing, and conversing in Mandarin after their three years at Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong.

Forest-Beach School

Once a fortnight, Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong children and their guardians board a bus to the school’s Forest-Beach School site in Sai Kung, where they get the chance to explore the outdoors under the supervision of a Level 3 Forest-Beach School lead. The programme is carefully planned in keeping with the EYFS curriculum to help children develop communication, collaboration, and leadership skills within small teams. During the week the children don’t attend Forest-Beach School, they visit a local park or a similar outdoor location.

Financial Literacy Programme

One of the core tenets of the school is its future-focused outlook in which teachers emphasise the foundations of economic, cultural, and social value. This resulted in the newly-launched Financial Literacy Programme in which teaching staff introduce concepts of finance from an early age through role play, stories, and engaging activities. Children have sessions at the Malvern Market — an on-campus learning space where they buy produce and other household items, each of which is assigned a monetary value to give pupils a basic understanding of finance.

Exclusive Island West programmes

The Island West campus of Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong is kickstarting its new K3 programme in August 2024, which will provide a foundation for students who may decide to move to the local stream for their primary school education. The K3 timetable will be more in line with Year One Primary expectations and will, therefore, have a more subject-oriented approach.

The school also offers a 2/3-Day Pre-Nursery Programme by which children who turn two years old within the academic year can enrol in a special transitional programme. These pupils will join the Pre-Nursery class either two days or three days a week, and then complete the full Pre-Nursery programme the following academic year.

Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong — which has campuses in Sai Ying Pun and West Kowloon — builds on the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage educational programme and works to prepare children for a smooth transition to full-time primary education. The schools cover seven interconnected areas of learning and development designed to nurture a child’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, while allowing them to form relationships in order to thrive socially and emotionally.

Each classroom in Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong has a native English-speaking teacher and a Mandarin-speaking teacher so that children gain a good standard of English and Chinese. Another highlight of Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong is its pioneering Forest-Beach School programme during which nature, the outdoors, and open spaces become the children’s havens for learning. 

Malvern College Hong Kong, located in Pak Shek Kok near the Science Park, is an authorised International Baccalaureate World School and offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). It is modelled on its parent school, Malvern College UK, and implements a globally accepted and well-established curriculum, thereby preparing pupils for their studies at a wide variety of international universities.

The school uses the Nuffield Science approach in the learning and teaching of STEM subjects, which promotes the study of science through experimentation and discovery. Malvern College Hong Kong strives to create a collaborative learning environment to encourage students to take the lead in their own learning. Pupils also attend daily Chinese classes in Mandarin and simplified Chinese, and have the chance to join exchange programmes and residential learning in Mainland China.

Back by popular demand, the show provides parents with the opportunity to gain privileged access to heads and admissions teams from elite international boarding schools.

Schools that parents will be able to meet include: Bedales, Bradfield, Dulwich, Millfield, Milton Abbey, Stonyhurst & Greshams. The focus of the event is to help families in Hong Kong make the best decisions on education for their children.

The 2024 seminar schedule for HK has been expanded to cover topics from initial application through to university options. A range of relevant topics will be covered by expert speakers throughout the day, discussing the various opportunities open to parents to help them make informed decisions about their children’s future educational needs.

Next Step Exhibitions founder David Wellesley Wesley, says: “Worldwide interest in British boarding schools continues to grow. There are currently 69,979 boarders in UK schools; 41% are from overseas families. The benefits of boarding at a leading British school are undisputed and importantly recognised by both university admissions teams and employers.”

The event is free to attend, but tickets are limited and need to be secured in advance.

Malvern College Pre-School is opening a new K3 programme for children aged five to six years old, starting August 2024. The programme, exclusive to Malvern’s Island West campus in Sai Ying Pun, is designed to provide a foundation for students who may decide to move to the local stream for their primary school education.

The new K3 timetable will be more in line with Year One Primary expectations and will therefore adopt a more ‘subject-based’ approach. Children will follow carefully chosen and planned units that will each have a slightly different emphasis over the course of the academic year. It will also be a bilingual programme, and each class will have one Native English teacher and one Native Mandarin teacher.

The programme will adhere to the Key Stage One (KS1) (UK) Curriculum, and will include the following subjects:

• English
• Mathematics
• Physical Development
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Science
• Design & Technology
• Geography
• History
• Art & Design
• Computing
• Music 

Emma-Jane Ritchie, Assistant Principal of the Island West campus, says that while the school’s pre-nursery, K1, and K2 students can decide between half-day and full-day schedules, K3 pupils will attend whole-day classes so they can cover all the subject areas. However, despite it being a “rigorous and more structured” programme, K3 children will still get their daily Discovery Time, continue their fortnightly Forest-Beach School trips, and be able to visit the park regularly as well.

In order to provide families with as many options as possible for primary school education, Ritchie adds that the Island West campus K3 curriculum will offer a “dual pathway” when it comes to their bilingual programme. “In their Mandarin lessons, the K3 children will be taught simplified characters. However, these lessons can be tailored based on individual needs, and parents can request for traditional characters to be incorporated into their child’s learning,” says Ritchie.

When asked how well the new K3 programme will prepare children for the demands of primary school, Ritchie says the curriculum will build upon what the children have been introduced to since the pre-nursery level — from the Read Write Inc. programme for English and the Karen Wilding approach in Mathematics, to the children’s formal Chinese programme that begins at the pre-nursery stage.

“We understand a family’s plan for their child’s education may change according to their development. While we do not guarantee a place in Prep 2 at Malvern College Hong Kong (MCHK), as we do for our graduating K2s into Prep 1, we do offer our K3 graduates priority into Prep 2, over external candidates. At MCHK, we welcome pupils from both international and local kindergartens, and provide the necessary support for the K3 graduates to assimilate into MCHK,” says Ritchie.

The report covered schools under the Kindergarten Education Scheme, public sector and Direct Subsidy Scheme primary and secondary schools, as well as aided special schools. While the kindergarten teacher turnover rate among those in the field for less than 10 years was 19.1%, it was 16.1% among veteran teachers who have been in the field for more than 15 years.

“There are various reasons for teacher wastage, which mainly include retirement, pursuing further studies, changing to other types of schools, taking up employment outside the teaching profession, and leaving the post due to other personal reasons,” said Christine Choi, Secretary for Education, referring to the percentage of teachers who left their jobs out of the total teacher strength in the schools surveyed.

Choi added that the government has several measures in place to support teachers and give them a stable teaching environment. Authorities will continue implementing the All-Graduate Teaching Force policy that it kickstarted in the 2019-2020 academic year, improving middle management manpower, and rationalising the salaries of school heads and deputy heads. 

“We have set salary ranges for teachers of different ranks; requesting [that] kindergartens join the scheme to remunerate their teachers within the prescribed salary ranges; and will follow up on irregular cases,” said Choi, adding that the bureau will gradually reduce the number of undergraduate intake places at primary and secondary levels between 2022 and 2025.
