“UAE University” in “Al Ain” and the “American University of Sharjah” achieved 15th and 12th places, respectively, in a new ranking by “Times Higher Education”, which examined the proportion of international students, proportion of international faculty and proportion of research published with at least one international co-author. “Phil Baty”, Editor of “Times Higher Education”, said; “The UAE, is characterized by accommodating a wide range of nationalities, and there are certain demographic factors which will make it easier for universities to recruit staff and students across national borders, so universities in the region do get a natural advantage, but the research element is a different matter; only a university in the region which is committed to investing in research, and which has a productive workforce publishing research in international journals will do well on the list”. “Maryam Khan”, Advisor on the UAE University rankings team, said: “The placement reflected the university’s goal to be research intensive, we want to bring the big brains of the world to come here so being on the international rankings is important for this, it applies to us for students and faculty.” “Kevin Mitchell”, Acting Provost at “American University of Sharjah”, said: “Even if there were no rankings that considered internationalization as a criterion, institutions would likely still seek to attract an international student body and faculty as there is an increasing need to establish connections across the world to enhance knowledge and facilitate research.”
