Delineating the difference between ratings and rankings, Ms. Mok
remarked that rankings are simpler with six indicators being used to
evaluate universities. Ratings, on the other hand, are paid products,
and are more robust with close to 50 key performance indicators being
considered. In 2009, QS launched its “Asian University Ranking” for the
first time.
She also showcased a number of products, exhibitions, conferences and
publications developed by QS while delivering her talk on “Internal and
External Strategies for Internationalisation.”
Her talk was followed by an interactive session, where Mr. Fernandes
enumerated the details of the QS ranking system. Prof. Sivanappan
Kumar, Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs led the discussion.
The two later met with the AIT administration, including Prof.
Worsak Kanok Nukulchai, Interim President, and members of the AIT
Management Team.
