<div style="text-align: justify;">
Boston University is located in the heart of what many view as the world’s greatest university city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With more than 32,500 undergraduate and graduate students from more than 130 countries, it is one of the largest universities in the greater Boston area, which is home to more than 100 higher education institutions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has around 10,000 faculty and staff, 17 schools and colleges and 250 fields of study located across two campuses and numerous international programmes, with facilities concentrated mainly on its impressive Charles River campus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Around 75 per cent of undergraduates at Boston University live in student housing in and around campus, which contain 17 schools and colleges, 23 libraries and 450 active student societies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sport is a major part of college life, with around 7,000 students associated with sporting clubs and societies and more than 6,500 people using its fitness and recreation facilities each day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Culture is also a strong feature, with more than 500 concerts and performances, and in excess of 50 exhibitions, taking place on campus annually.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a member of the Association of American Universities, Boston is recognised as a leading global research institution, winning around $327 million in grants and contacts in 2015, of which $107 million related to clinical grants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arguably its most famous graduate is the civil rights leader Martin Luther King, who took his PhD studies at Boston University in the 1950s. Other notable alumni have made their mark in worlds of politics, science, entertainment, sport, journalism, law, academia, business and music.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Academy Award winners Geena Davis, Marisa Tomei and Julianne Moore attended the university, as did the notorious radio DJ Howard Stern, Fox News presenter Bill O’Reilly and Keith B. Alexander, a four-star general and director of the National Security Agency.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Several Nobel laureates are connected to the university. Novelist Saul Bellow taught literature at Boston and Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel remains a professor of the humanities. Former Boston scientist Sheldon Lee Glashow and Daniel C. Tsui , a current research professor, have received the Nobel Prize for Physics, while Dr King won the Peace Prize in 1964.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two US poet laureates have also taught at Boston – Robert Lowell and Robert Pinsky – as did Derek Walcott, a Nobel laureate in literature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Boston is also one of the US’s most international universities, with around 8,000 international students enrolled on its courses in total.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has almost 100 study abroad programmes based in London, Paris and more than 30 other cities, and it also runs programmes in Los Angeles and Washington. It also runs almost 200 alumni abroad associations and operates more than 400 global initiatives, such as a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to fight infant mortality in Zambia.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Located in the suburbs of Australia's capital, Canberra, the Australian National University (ANU) is an internationally-recognised higher education institution and a notable producer of distinguished alumni and faculty alike.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the only state-governed university in Australia and a big player among the country's research universities, ANU is known for the quality and good prospects of its graduates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its foundation was established by the Australian Parliament in 1946. The institution was first intended as a postgraduate college, but later developed a successful undergraduate division, and successfully merged with Canberra University College in the 1960s.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, ANU is a well-known academic authority organised into seven colleges. Researchers and students have the chance to broaden their knowledge and conduct research in a wide array of fields: arts and social sciences; Asian and Pacific studies and languages; business and economics; engineering and computer science; law; medicine and biology; and physical and mathematical sciences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In ANU’s major campus, which is located in Canberra's southern district of Acton, students can find modern lecture theatres, libraries with over 2.5 million publications on offer as well as fully equipped laboratories and research centres. Some of the buildings within Acton campus have been included in a local heritage list, preserving sites related to the establishment of the Australian capital. ANU’s also receives a considerable endowment in order to fund the operation of these facilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university is an active member of the Group of 8, a coalition of research-intensive Australian universities and the International Alliance of Research Universities. To foster cross-border collaborations and exchange of students, ANU works directly with Yale University, the University of Cambridge and ETH Zurich.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from boasting several Nobel Laureates, ANU is also the alma mater of important political figures in Australia such as former Prime Ministers Kevin Rudd and Bob Hawke.</div>

The University of Hong Kong: Asia's Leading International University</h2>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 25px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #494343; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">
The <a class="processed" data-mz="" href="http://www.hku.hk/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1169a3; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">University of Hong Kong (HKU) </a>is Hong Kong’s oldest tertiary institution, with a history that stretches back over a hundred years. Since its beginning, HKU has been a forward-looking university.It continues to foster internationalisation through an open academic environment and aspirations to excellence and has sought out like-minded scholars from around the world.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #494343; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">
HKU’s diverse <a class="processed" data-mz="" href="http://www.cpao.hku.hk/qstats" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1169a3; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">student body </a>hails from countries around the world including USA, Australia, Chile, Estonia, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, Britain, Korea, Portugal, and Pakistan. More important than the diversityof our students is their academic excellence. Today, the University admits the top students in Hong Kong, and Mainland China, and an increasing number of highly talented students from across Asia and the rest of the world.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #494343; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">
HKU’s reputation as an international centre of excellence continues to develop because of the highly qualified and diverse staff and students that make up the HKU population. HKU maintains high quality of academic and research standards, with renowned teaching staff from Hong Kong and over half of the professors coming from abroad.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #494343; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">
The result is that HKU graduates, local and non-local, are in high demand. The University has achieved virtually full employment rate of 99.7% for the past six consecutive years, while a recent global graduate salaries survey put the starting salaries of Hong Kong graduates at the highest in the world of those countries surveyed.</div>

The University has partnered with companies, non-governmental organizations, social enterprises and universities around the world to give students chances to step outside the classroom and mutually benefit the world around them. Some examples of EL projects carried out in previous years are the Migrant Outreach Education Initiative (MOEI) to provide English tutoring to migrants in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and China, or the HKU Mentorship Programme in which HKU alumni mentor provide advice to current undergraduates about academic and personal growth.The University encourages undergraduate students to undertake individual research projects under the supervision of renowned staff at top Ivy League schools and other prestigious research institutions, an experience that has considerable added value as they move forward on their post-graduation career path.</div>

The University of Hong Kong provides a range of international <a class="processed" data-mz="" href="http://www.als.hku.hk/admission/exchange" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1169a3; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">education opportunities </a>and is committed to nurturing its students as global citizens. Covering 6 continents and 29 countries, HKU’s 285 exchange partner institutions include some of the best universities in the world. Going on exchange is a popular trend amongst HKU students; in the 2011/2012 school year, HKU proudly facilitated almost 1,000 student exchanges under this programme. In turn, the dynamic campus atmosphere, English medium courses, diverse student population and high academic standards have attracted over 1,000 students from all over the world to study at HKU during 2011/2012.</div>

In addition to learning, students are encouraged to <a class="processed" data-mz="" href="http://100.hku.hk/service100" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1169a3; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">volunteer </a>and get involved with local and overseas communities. Students can join one of the many existing projects or apply for funding to start their own. For example, each year HKU students engage with NGO, ‘Light for Children’, in Ghana, Africa to promote HIV/AIDS awareness and conduct sexual health workshops amongst children and young adults. In 2011, a group of students went to rural Nepal to transfer rural technology to local villages to produce long-lasting impacts and improvements in the villages. These service programmes are an excellent opportunity for students to use their knowledge for the benefit of society and to engage in cultural exchange both at home and overseas.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a 500-year plus history, LMU Munich is among the world’s oldest universities. Continually high achieving, it is regarded as one of the finest in its native Germany and global higher education.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university can trace its roots to the 15th century, and has had many locations before moving to its current site in Munich in 1826.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LMU Munich is a leading research institution but also maintains a strong commitment to teaching excellence, and has a vast student body of over 50,000 - representing more than 130 countries - making it one of the largest universities in Germany. Its 18 faculties cater for nearly 200 courses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its famed research has resulted in numerous academic accolades, with connections to 26 Nobel laureates, and over 20 Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prizes – Germany’s highest academic honour. Of that number, 17 have received their Leibniz Prize while working at LMU. It has also won more highly endowed European Research Council grants than any other German university. Besides its impressive faculty, the university has a wide range of notable alumni including Pope Benedict XVI, who wrote both his doctoral dissertation and his post-doctoral Habilitation thesis at LMU, poet Bertolt Brecht, and physicist Max Planck.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps its strongest legacy is its dedication to academic freedom, which was seen during the White Rose rebellion – a group of LMU students and staff who actively resisted Nazi ideology during the Second World War. A ceramic inlay monument to those from the group who were affiliated to LMU – Hans Scholl and his sister Sophie, Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf, Christoph Probst and Professor Kurt Huber – can be found outside the university’s entrance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A White Rose Memorial Lecture is delivered annually by an invited speaker at a commemorative ceremony, while a permanent exhibition tells the story of the courage and sacrifice of the group’s members.</div>

A leading global university centred in Asia, the National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship university, which offers a global approach to education and research with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its 17 schools across three campus locations in Singapore – Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and Outram – provide a broad-based curriculum underscored by multi-disciplinary courses and cross-faculty enrichment. NUS’ transformative education includes programmes such as student exchange, entrepreneurial internships at NUS Overseas Colleges, and double degree and joint degree programmes with some of the world’s top universities, offering students opportunities and challenges to realise their potential. The learning experience is complemented by a vibrant residential life with avenues for artistic, cultural and sporting pursuits. There are about 38,000 students from 100 countries who further enrich the community with their diverse social and cultural perspectives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NUS has three Research Centres of Excellence (RCE) and 26 university-level research institutes and centres. It is also a partner for Singapore’s fifth RCE. The University shares a close affiliation with 16 national-level research institutes and centres. Research activities are strategic and robust, and NUS is well-known for its research strengths in engineering, life sciences and biomedicine, social sciences and natural sciences. Major research thrusts have been made recently in several fields such as quantum technology; cancer and translational medicine; interactive and digital media; and the environment and water. The University also strives to create a supportive and innovative environment to promote creative enterprise within its community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NUS is actively involved in international academic and research networks such as the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) and International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU). This global networking further enhances its international presence.</div>

The University of Toronto (UoT) is among the world’s most prestigious universities. Founded in 1827, it offers over 700 undergraduate degree and 200 postgraduate degree programmes to a cohort of almost 60,000 students.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a longstanding reputation for innovation and research, UoT was the birthplace of such ground-breaking scientific moments as the discovery of insulin and stem cell research, and the invention of the electron microscope.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university also cites teaching as a strength in disciplines spanning medicine, business, engineering, humanities, education, and more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a reputation for producing leaders, UoT counts five Canadian prime ministers among its former students and associations with ten Nobel laureates. Other notable alumni include the actor Donald Sutherland and the writers Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
UoT is a multi-campus university, with its St George campus in downtown Toronto likened to Oxford and Cambridge on account of its mix of green space and historical architecture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university’s Mississauga campus, on the banks of the Credit River to the west of the city, includes 225 acres of protected green belt, while its Scarborough campus is home to a new aquatics centre.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university attracts many sports fans and boasts a fearsome reputation in both football and ice-hockey. Other campus attractions include more than 1,000 student organisations in addition to a recreational centre and student facilities that include an art gallery, theatre and concert hall.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yale University is a private Ivy League research university which is the third-oldest higher education institution in the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yale traces its history back to 1701, when it was founded as the Collegiate School in Saybrook, Connecticut, which moved to New Haven 15 years later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1718 it was renamed Yale College, in honour of Welsh benefactor Elihu Yale, and it was the first university in the US to award a PhD, in 1861.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yale’s central campus covers 260 acres of New Haven, and includes buildings dating back to the mid-18th century.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university is made up of 14 schools, and students follow a liberal arts curriculum, covering humanities and arts, sciences and social sciences before choosing a departmental major. Students also receive instruction in writing skills, quantitative reasoning and foreign languages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unusually for the US, Yale students are housed in residential colleges on the model of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. There are 12 historic colleges, and construction of two more started in 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Around one in five students is international, and more than half of all undergraduates receive scholarships or grants from the university.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yale has an endowment that exceeds $25 billion (£17.3 billion), making it the second-richest educational institution in the world, and a library that holds more than 15 million volumes, making it the third-largest in the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yale alumni and sports teams are known as “Bulldogs”, and many Yale graduates have gone on to notable careers in politics, the arts and science.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Four Yale graduates signed the American Declaration of Independence, and the university has educated five US presidents: William Howard Taft, Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Twenty Yale alumni have won Nobel prizes, including economist Paul Krugman, while 32 have won the Pulitzer Prize.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other notable alumni include US secretaries of state Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, and actress Meryl Streep.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yale’s campus includes many famous buildings, such as the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, the Peabody Museum of Natural History and the Sterling Memorial Library.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
New Haven is a city of about 130,000 people, located two and a half hours south of Boston, and an hour and a half north of New York. It has many shops, museums and restaurants, and is close to beaches, hiking trails and historic attractions.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is an independent, coeducational, private research university based in the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Established in 1861, MIT aims to ‘further knowledge and prepare students in science, technology and other fields of study that will best benefit the nation and the world today’. Its motto is Mens et Manus, which translates as “Mind and Hand”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university lays claim to 85 Nobel Laureates, 58 National Medal of Science winners, 29 National Medal of Technology and Innovation winners and 45 MacArthur Fellows. Among its impressive alumni is Kofi Annan, former secretary-general of the United Nations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scientific discoveries and technological advances accredited to MIT include the first chemical synthesis of penicillin, the development of radar, the discovery of quarks, and the invention of magnetic core memory, which enabled the development of digital computers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
MIT is currently organised into five different schools: architecture and planning, engineering, humanities, arts and social sciences, management and science.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is home to around 1,000 faculty members and over 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students. MIT’s current areas of research include digital learning, sustainable energy, Big Data, human health and much more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition to its emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship, MIT also boasts a diverse and vibrant campus environment with a wide array of student groups. The campus is arranged over 168 acres within Cambridge, and features 18 student residences, 26 acres of playing fields, 20 gardens and green-space areas, as well as over 100 public works of art.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
MIT estimates that all its living alumni have between them launched more than 30,000 active companies, created 4.6 million jobs and generated roughly $1.9 trillion in annual revenue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Taken together, this ‘MIT Nation’ is equivalent, they say, to the 10th-largest economy in the world.</div>
