《泰晤士高等教育》大學排名編輯部主任費爾?巴蒂表示：“我們的排名顯示，中國作為亞洲地區(qū)大國，其高等教育的進步貨真價實，且越來越快。該排名誕生13年以來，首次有兩所中國大學進入前30名，中國一流大學現(xiàn)在真正躋身全球精英教育機構之列，并且正在趕超英美、歐洲的名牌大學�！�
An expert in global university rankings for 20 years, Baty said that the rise of Chinese higher education had been driven by a large investment in science and technology subjects.
巴蒂是全球大學排名領域的專家，已有20年豐富經驗。他表示，中國對理工科專業(yè)的巨大投入帶動了國內高等教育的崛起。
"Chinese universities are doing outstanding work in science, technology, mathematics, life sciences," Baty said, adding that the next phase for China would be to strengthen its arts and humanities and social sciences programs. "I think arts and humanity subjects are very important to create the balance and to provide the creativity needed to push research to the next level. So that's the challenge. Another challenge is perhaps to be even more international. "
巴蒂稱：“中國大學在理科、工科、數(shù)學、生命科學等方面表現(xiàn)出色�！彼�說，下一階段，中國應該加強藝術、人文社會科學專業(yè)。“我認為藝術和人文學科對于實現(xiàn)文理平衡以及培養(yǎng)推動科研進一步發(fā)展的創(chuàng)造力至關重要。這是中國的挑戰(zhàn)之一。另一項挑戰(zhàn)或許是向更加國際化轉變�！�

新加坡國立大學在亞洲地區(qū)排名最高，其全球排名為第22。日本頂尖學府東京大學的排名降至歷史新低，居于第46位。韓國有三所一流大學排名下降。
Baty believes that the trend demonstrates the global higher education landscape is changing. "Other east Asian nations are feeling the competition from the rise of China."
巴蒂認為，這一趨勢表明，全球高等教育的格局正在發(fā)生改變。“中國高等教育崛起讓東亞其他國家感受到了競爭�！�
