Qatar University (QU) has been ranked 77 in the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2017, among the 300 top universities in the Asia region.
The announcement was made on March 15 on the THE website, naming QU 77th among universities in the Asia region and 5th among universities in the Arab world.

The performance indicators are grouped into five areas: Teaching -- the learning environment (25%), Research -- volume, income and reputation (30%), Citations -- research influence (30%), International Outlook -- staff, students and research (7.5%), and Industry Income -- knowledge transfer (7.5%).
