With two top-30 representatives for the first time in the 13-year history of the rankings, China's leading universities are truly now part of the global elite and overtaking prestigious universities in the US, UK, and Europe."
《泰晤士高等教育》大學(xué)排名編輯部主任費(fèi)爾?巴蒂表示：“我們的排名顯示，中國(guó)作為亞洲地區(qū)大國(guó)，其高等教育的進(jìn)步貨真價(jià)實(shí)，且越來越快。該排名誕生13年以來，首次有兩所中國(guó)大學(xué)進(jìn)入前30名，中國(guó)一流大學(xué)現(xiàn)在真正躋身全球精英教育機(jī)構(gòu)之列，并且正在趕超英美、歐洲的名牌大學(xué)�！�
An expert in global university rankings for 20 years, Baty said that the rise of Chinese higher education had been driven by a large investment in science and technology subjects.
巴蒂是全球大學(xué)排名領(lǐng)域的專家，已有20年豐富經(jīng)驗(yàn)。他表示，中國(guó)對(duì)理工科專業(yè)的巨大投入帶動(dòng)了國(guó)內(nèi)高等教育的崛起。
"Chinese universities are doing outstanding work in science, technology, mathematics, life sciences," Baty said, adding that the next phase for China would be to strengthen its arts and humanities and social sciences programs. "I think arts and humanity subjects are very important to create the balance and to provide the creativity needed to push research to the next level. So that's the challenge. Another challenge is perhaps to be even more international. "
巴蒂稱：“中國(guó)大學(xué)在理科、工科、數(shù)學(xué)、生命科學(xué)等方面表現(xiàn)出色�！彼�說，下一階段，中國(guó)應(yīng)該加強(qiáng)藝術(shù)、人文社會(huì)科學(xué)專業(yè)�！拔艺J(rèn)為藝術(shù)和人文學(xué)科對(duì)于實(shí)現(xiàn)文理平衡以及培養(yǎng)推動(dòng)科研進(jìn)一步發(fā)展的創(chuàng)造力至關(guān)重要。這是中國(guó)的挑戰(zhàn)之一。另一項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)或許是向更加國(guó)際化轉(zhuǎn)變�！�
