NEW DELHI, June 5, 2024 — Deakin University of Australia has climbed 36 places to enter the world’s top 200 universities, according to the QS World University Rankings 2025 released yesterday.
The prestigious QS World University Rankings focus on five key indicators – Research and Discovery, Employability and Outcomes, Learning Experience, Global Engagement, and Sustainability.
Deakin Vice-Chancellor Professor Iain Martin commended the Deakin community for reaching this significant milestone.
“Our success is due to the dedication and hard work of many individuals across our university. In our relatively brief history, we have achieved remarkable growth and continue to foster a culture of innovation, creativity, and excellence while staying true to our foundational principles of inclusion and educational access,” Professor Martin said.
“As we prepare to celebrate our 50th birthday at the end of this year, it’s clear that Deakin’s strong connection to the community has been a cornerstone of our success. We believe in fostering meaningful partnerships that enhance the educational experience, drive innovative research outcomes, and create a positive impact with a global reach.”
“Our recent rankings also reflect Deakin’s ongoing efforts to promote environmental stewardship and social responsibility.”
Deakin University is the first international university to open a teaching campus in India, known as the Deakin University GIFT Campus. GIFT City, short for Gujarat International Finance Tec-City, is a developing central business district in the Ahmedabad district of Gujarat, India.
Deakin University has been actively involved in India for the past three decades, collaborating with educational institutions, conducting research, and providing scholarships. Now, with the establishment of the Deakin University GIFT Campus, it aims to provide high-quality education and training in emerging fields to support India’s advancement as a digital knowledge economy, further strengthening its commitment to the country.
It is a historic milestone for Deakin University as it establishes India’s first international branch campus. The campus will welcome its inaugural cohort of students in July 2024 and will initially offer two specialized courses in Business Analytics and Cyber Security tailored for Indian students.
Established in 1974, Deakin University successfully integrates teaching, research, and partnerships with industry and government to provide high-quality courses and conduct impactful research for domestic and international communities.
