…in NZ, that is, but they’re equal 61st in the latest Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings. The what rankings, I can hear you say. Well, it seems that QS ran rankings with the Times Higher Education from 2004-09, but that relationship has broken up, so this is a new name on the block.

Rankings for the other NZ universities were Otago (125), Canterbury (188), Victoria (229), Massey (299) and Waikato (314). Lincoln and AUT did not make the cut, as far as I can see.

There are now so many rankings that the European University Assn plans to do an annual review of them – first edition in 2011.
