The Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN Universities) welcomes the strong performance of its members in the 2027 QS World University Rankings, with every ATN university climbing the rankings between 2017 and 2027.

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and RMIT University rose in the rankings from 2026, with UTS achieving a record-high ranking of 87th globally.
Both universities also recorded standout results, with UTS holding Australia’s highest rank for Citations per Faculty, placing 37th in the world, and RMIT University achieving Australia’s highest rank in the International Faculty Indicator, highlighting the institution’s strength in attracting international talent.
ATN Universities Executive Director Dr Andy Marks said that the steady growth of ATN’s members is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of the ATN community and the strengths of the network as a whole.

Our nation’s leading technology universities are boosting Australia’s productivity and resilience at a globally recognised scale.”
