The ranking of the best universities in Asia - QS Asia university ranking 2025 has been published. It includes 985 universities from 25 countries, including Kazakhstan, BaigeNews.kz reports.

The greatest competition for Kazakhstani universities was from universities in India, China, Japan and South Korea.

The new ranking of the best universities in Asia in 2025 included 35 educational institutions, which is an absolute record in the entire history of the country.

The highest place - 29th was taken by the Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi. The 65th line was taken by the Eurasian National University. The 89th position is Satbayev University.

In the second hundred there are five universities - Kazakh National Pedagogical University named after Abai, South Kazakhstan University named after Mukhtar Auezov, Kazakh National Agrarian Research University, Karaganda University named after Academician E.A. Buketova and the International Kazakh-Turkish University named after Khoja Ahmed Yasawi.

"Kazakhstan's strengthening position in the ranking of the best universities in Asia reflects its commitment to meeting the highest standards of higher education and increasing international recognition. This year, the achieved positive dynamics are characterized by the improvement of the positions of almost two-thirds of Kazakhstan's universities included in the ranking, and an increase in the number of Kazakhstani universities in the top hundred of the ranking from two to three. Such impressive results were made possible by the high quality of the educational environment, which allows for more personalized approaches to teaching and learning, and the continued growth of reputation indicators," said Ben Sauter, Senior Vice President of QS Quacquarelli Symonds.

22 Kazakhstani universities improved their positions in the ranking, three retained their places, and one - Kazakh National Women's Pedagogical University - returned to the ranking after a year-long break.

"The number of Kazakhstani universities in the ranking of the best universities in Asia has increased to 35. This is an absolute record in the entire history of higher education in the country. Compared to last year, the average values ​​of the calculated indicators of Kazakhstani universities participating in the ranking have increased for each indicator of the methodology, which indicates systematic work to improve the global competitiveness of Kazakhstani universities, affecting a number of key areas. This year, the share of publications of Kazakhstani authors in journals of the first and second quartiles exceeded 70% for the first time, reflecting the increased influence of scientific research and the increased effectiveness of publication strategies of educational institutions and scientific organizations in Kazakhstan. One of the main opportunities for further promotion of Kazakhstani universities in the rankings remains the involvement of faculty and staff in scientific research through the creation of material and non-material incentives and the development of academic writing skills," said QS Regional Director Sergey Khristolyubov.
