London: National Taiwan University (NTU) and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) have been included in the top 100 universities worldwide for graduate employability, as announced in the 2025 Global Employability University Ranking and Survey (GEURS). This survey was released on Thursday, U.K. time. According to Focus Taiwan, the ranking, which is compiled by the France-based human resources consulting company Emerging, evaluates the top 250 universities globally. NTU was placed at 79th, NTUST at 82nd, and National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) at 189th. Notably, NTU improved by one spot from the previous year, while NTUST and NTHU climbed 4 and 11 places, respectively. Leading the global rankings are four U.S. institutions: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and Harvard University. The University of Cambridge in the U.K. holds fifth place, followed by Princeton University in the U.S. and the University of Oxford in the U.K. The University of Tokyo is the highest-ranked Asian university in eighth place, with the National University of Singapore close behind. Imperial College London rounds out the top 10. Within Asia, top-ranked universities include Peking University and Tsinghua University in China, with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ranked fifth. Among Asian universities, NTU, NTUST, and NTHU are ranked 18th, 19th, and 40th respectively. Sandrine Belloc, co-founder and president of Emerging, noted Taiwan's impressive performance given its size. She highlighted that while Taiwan's universities excel in "alumni skills" and "academic performance," their global image remains indistinct. Belloc suggested that to enhance employability and prestige, Taiwan's universities should focus on collaboration with firms to integrate professional knowledge and skills into their curriculum. This includes updating coursework according to industrial changes, employing teaching staff with practical experience, and implementing man datory internship programs. Emerging emphasized that global employers prioritize adaptability and work or internship experience, with a large percentage valuing "the ability to learn and adapt to new technology and trends" and "the ability to cooperate with others." The GEURS, established in 2010, is based on employer votes for over 1,000 universities worldwide, with each allowed a maximum of 10 votes. In the 2025 survey, 13,240 managers from 33 countries cast a total of 129,126 votes, as detailed on the Emerging website.
