15 Jun 8 Schools from the Philippines Placed in the 2016 Asian University Rankings, Xavier University Included!
In the 2016 QS University Rankings for Asia, 8 schools from the Philippines have made it into the top 350.
4 Schools have already made the list last year. These are the University of the Philippines (UP), the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU), the De La Salle University (DLSU), and the University of Santo Tomas (UST).
Joining them this year are Ateneo de Davao University (251-300), Silliman University (251-300), Xavier University (251-300), and University of San Carlos (301-350).

After UST was rated excellently on the following criteria: employability, facilities, social responsibility, and inclusiveness, it again received Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) stars (4 Stars).
