Bridging frontiers: Changing the landscape of education in Asia

Internationalisation drives institutions to open their doors wider to welcome international students and form global alliances. Universities attract talent and cultivate a cross-cultural exchange that helps graduates thrive in an interconnected world.

Universities must align curricula with industry needs and provide their graduates with practical skills, making them employable and boosting economic growth to address the employability and skills gap.

By upholding values of empathy, integrity and honesty, and through the cultivation of ethical leaders and compassionate citizens, universities cement their role in shaping a future that is academically brilliant, socially conscious and responsible.

This year’s THE Asia Universities Summit bridges frontiers to reimagine the evolving landscape of education in Asia.

The summit will feature the exclusive live reveal of the THE Asia University Rankings 2024, accompanied by a detailed masterclass to explore the latest data and identify the best-performing institutions in the region.

The summit will also host the THE Awards Asia 2024 winners ceremony. Now in their sixth year, the awards offer a major international platform to recognise outstanding leadership and institutional performance, and to celebrate the continent's higher education excellence in all its diversity.

Highlights from the 2023 summit

The THE Asia Universities Summit 2023 brought together 500+ delegates to discuss what it will mean to be an Asia university in 2050 and whether there is such a thing as a distinctly “Asian” university in such an economically, culturally and socially diverse region.
