«This ranking reflects the
achievement of domestic universities reaching the global level. It also affects
the universities’ standing when collaborating with international partners,
thereby creating more opportunities to receive grants, pursue dual degree
programs abroad, and enhance academic mobility. Third, it impacts the
employment prospects of university graduates. Most importantly, universities
are evolving from purely educational institutions into investment centers,»
