In the World University Rankings 2027, China's Tsinghua University overtook the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich to rank 11th. The other Asian universities to make the top 15 were Peking University in 13th place and the National University of Singapore in 15th, bringing the total to three for the first time.
