QS release largest-ever list of the Arab Region's top universities

Ben Sowter, Director of Research at QS, said: "The Arab region is home to a high number of young universities, with 80% of the universities in this year's ranking under 50 years of age. Most featured universities now provide programs in all faculty areas and more than half of now have an incorporated medical school. The institutions featured in this ranking are therefore, despite their young age, striving to ensure that their provision is extensive and that they are offering comprehensive curricula."
