QS 2021 World University Rankings, France out?

The QS World University Rankings 2021 are out today. French universities are performing steadily and are trying to fall out of the galaxy.

There has long been a chain of contempt in study abroad circles, USA > UK > Australia > Canada > Germany, Italy, and France.

Superficial. We don't go to school in France, we go to school for pleasure. How can pleasure be ranked?

But it is very important to understand the world situation, next let the fungus take up the microscope and take you to find out where the French universities are.

1/ List of the top ten universities in France

As soon as I woke up this morning, the British Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) threw a QS 2021 World University Ranking in the fungus' face.

This list is known as the world's most highly regarded university ranking and aims to show people around the world what the world's top universities are.

American schools swept the top three. The world's first MIT MIT, Stanford University came second, and Harvard University is barely the oldest three.

Next door to the United Kingdom's Oxford University fifth, Cambridge University seventh, and Imperial College of Technology eighth. Huh, usually sounds quite powerful, there is no world first well.

In general, like this list, if you want to find French universities, it is best to look from the back to the front, which will save a lot of time.

The fungus looked left, right, up and down, and finally found the name of the French university in the corner. Out of 1002 universities in 85 countries and territories worldwide, a total of 3 French universities squeezed into the top 100! The highest ranking is 52!

2/ Top 10 French universities list

No.10

University of Paris-Saclay, No. 291

Université Paris-Saclay may look mediocre, but it's saving the French from math.

For two years in a row, it has been ranked number one in the world in the U.S. News World University Rankings (Best Global Universities for Mathematics).

No.9

University of Paris I, Global 287

Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, also known as the Pantheon-Sorbonne University, is the largest university in France.

Its original predecessor, the Sorbonne Seminary, was built in the 13th century and is now one of the oldest universities in Europe and the world.

No.8

University of Paris, 275 worldwide

The University of Paris (Université de Paris) has its roots in England.

Because the first British university was established in 1167, Oxford University, is from the University of Paris back to the British students and teachers to establish.

In the end, French education is still possible.

No.6

Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées, Paris, 242 worldwide

Ecole des Ponts ParisTech is the first engineering college in France and the first engineering college in the world.

Louis XV asked for the establishment of a school of higher engineers to serve the French royal court in 1747, and then this school came into existence.

No.6

Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, 242 worldwide

Sciences Po Paris has trained 29 presidents and prime ministers of France and French-speaking countries to date.

The current French President Macron graduated from here.

No.5

École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, 161 worldwide

Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon is one of the four higher teacher training schools in France.

Although it is not located in Paris, it does not affect its reputation as a world-renowned school at all.

No.4

Ecole Polytechnique Supérieure d'Electricité, 138 in the world

Centrale Supélec is a public engineering school. Officially known as École centrale des arts et manufactures, it was established in 1829 and also has a great history.

No.3

Sorbonne University, 83 worldwide

Sorbonne Université, a public university, has 33 Nobel Prize, Fields Prize, and Turing Award winners.

Sorbonne University is firmly in the Poundland model.

In 2018, it was created by the merger of the University of Paris VI and the University of Paris IV. The university has three main faculties, including the Faculty of Law, which is run by the University of Paris II.

No.2

École Polytechnique de Paris, Global 68

École Polytechnique is recognized as the top engineering university in France and is known as the cradle of French elites, the pinnacle of the French elite education model.

This university has produced three Nobel Prize winners, three French presidents, and more than half of the CEOs of French companies.

If you ask me, how can I get into Ecole Polytechnique like these big names? It is very simple, you can take RER B to Lozère station and walk for 26 minutes.

No.1

University of Arts and Sciences of Paris, 52 in the world

At the top of the list of the best universities in France is the Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres), or PSL for short.

In 2010, this university was transformed overnight into the top comprehensive university in France after the merger of nine universities and institutes in Paris.

If you ask the students of this school how hard they need to work to get into the top 100 French universities in the world. The person will probably say, "I didn't work hard, the school worked hard to merge with other schools to squeeze into the top 100."

2018: mega happy news! French universities squeeze into the top 100 best universities in the world for the first time!!!

2019: Great news! For the first time, a French university has been ranked in the top 50 of the best universities in the world!

This year, PSL just stepped on the line at number 50.

2020: French universities indulge in a free fall that they can't get out of.

PSL first fell from 50th to 53rd, and then rose from 53rd to 52nd.

The French media is proud ah, "PSL even jumped from 53rd to 52nd in the world rankings!!!"

It's a qualitative leap, a small step for PSL, and a big step for French education.

One should not care about the fact that PSL dropped from 50th in 2019 to 52nd in 2020. Anyway, let's give the French a round of applause and encouragement first.

It can't be helped, the French are so easily satisfied. One step forward or 1,000 steps forward, it's all progress, no difference.

Achievement is not the purpose, make yourself happy and happy is the meaning.

At this time a Frenchman carrying 6 cans of beer and 1 pound of fried chicken ready to go to the Seine stocking black passed by, he did not even look at the list.
