The best universities in Australia and New Zealand all fall within the top 250 universities in the world, according to the听色盒直播听World University Rankings 2015-16.
Australia dominates the list of the region鈥檚 11 best universities, with eight universities all ranked among the best 150 in the world, and one university in the top 250.
But two spots go to the University of Otago in New Zealand, tied in the 201-250 band with the University of Technology, Sydney. Given that there are only eight universities in the New Zealand, this makes for an impressive result.
All but one of New Zealand鈥檚 universities are among the 800 best in the world, compared to 31 of Australia鈥檚 43 universities.
The University of Melbourne鈥檚 provost, Margaret Sheil, said the ranking was a source of pride for her university, and reflects its strong national and international track record.
鈥淎ustralian universities, much like Australians, are outward looking and globally focused. We attract, welcome and seek the best students and academics from all over the world,鈥 she explained.
Even better news for prospective students is that from 2012 the Australian government has been streamlining its student visa policy to make study in Australia easier for international students.
Professor Sheil added: 鈥淎ustralian universities, including the University of Melbourne, have taken full advantage of globalisation and the way this diminishes the barriers previously enforced by physical geography.鈥
