University of Newcastle ranked 26 in the world
The University of Newcastle has climbed seven places to be ranked 26 in the 'Top 50 Under 50' announced today, 11 June 2013.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Caroline McMillen, said the University of Newcastle's 2013 ranking was a remarkable achievement.
'It has been a great year for the University of Newcastle and our place in the QS World University Rankings 'Top 50 Under 50' is further evidence that we are achieving excellence in key areas while maintaining a strong commitment to equity and engagement.'
