On 14 December, the Times Higher Education held a grand online award ceremony, which unveiled the 2021 Times Higher Education Asia Award. Our university stood out from more than 500 universities around the world and was successfully shortlisted for the Excellence and Innovation Award for Arts.

There are ten categories for this year’s Asia Awards, which are Excellence and Innovation Award for Arts, International Strategy Award of the year, Leadership and Management Team Award of the Year, Outstanding Student Support Award, Student Recruitment and Promotion Award of the year, Teaching Strategy Award of the year, Technology Innovation Award of the year, Best Workplace of the Year, Times Higher Education Data Progress Award, and Times Higher Education Data Social Influence Award. We were successfully shortlisted for the “Excellence and Innovation Award for Arts”, which fully showcased the progress and achievements of the university in arts and aesthetic education in recent years.

First launched in 2005, Times Higher Education Awards (THE Awards) has been known as the “Oscar Awards in Higher Education Field”. In 2019 this award was introduced to Asia, hence helping it to gain global reputation. Times Higher Education Asia Award has provided an important international platform for higher education providers in Asian regions and has greatly promoted the diversity of higher education in Asia. Different from the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, which is based on reliable data points, eight out of the ten categories included in Asia Award will be judged by a panel of experts in recognition of the great work and outstanding deeds that can not be reflected in the rankings.
