There are four Australian universities, led by the University of Sydney in the undergraduate alumni category. Among the European universities in this group there are five British, one Irish and one Danish university. Israeli universities, including Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, also do well, and the rest of Asia is represented by two Chinese, two Indian, one Singaporean, and one South Korean university.
