Qatar University (QU) is ranked 52nd in the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2020 for the third year in a row despite the significant increase in the number of ranked universities (approximately 400 in 2019, nearly 500 in 2020).

The THE Asia University Rankings 2020 uses the same 13 performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings after they are recalibrated to reflect the attributes of Asia's institutions. The universities are judged across all their core missions – teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook – to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons available. The performance indicators are grouped into five areas: the Industry Income (7.5%), International Outlook (7.5%), Research (30%), Citations (30%), Teaching (25%)

QU president Dr Hassan bin Rashid al-Derham expressed his pride in achieving the 52nd place in the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2020, saying that this achievement highlights QU's continuous efforts to advance its standing in the Asia region.

He also stressed the university's efforts to achieve excellence in education and high quality scientific research and its commitment to provide the best educational means for its students and to motivate them.
