In 2009, Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) launched a department of the Q"S Asian University Rankings" in partnership with "The Chosun Ilbo" newspaper in Korea. They rank the top 350 Asian universities and the ranking has now appeared eight times. They release an independent list of rankings each time, different from that of the QS World University Rankings. For three consecutive years up to the 2016/17 edition, the rankings was topped by the National University of Singapore.
