HONG KONG, Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The exceptional research strengths of City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) have once again received high international recognition. In the newly released 2026 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), CityUHK secured a place among the top 100 globally for the second consecutive year and rose four places from last year to rank 95th worldwide, firmly maintaining its 2nd position in Hong Kong.
CityUHK continued to deliver an impressive performance across several core evaluation indicators. Notably, in the key academic indicator of "Highly Cited Researchers by Clarivate", the University entered the global top 25 for the first time, ranking 2nd in Hong Kong. This once again demonstrates the University's leading international advantage in nurturing top scholars and producing high-quality research.
Professor Chun-Sing Lee, Acting President of CityUHK, was deeply encouraged by these outstanding results. "We are immensely proud that CityUHK has been ranked among the top 100 globally for two consecutive years and maintained its 2nd place ranking in Hong Kong," he said. "This remarkable achievement reflects the continuous improvement in the University's teaching and research strengths, as well as our leading edge in promoting internationalised education. Recognised by Times Higher Education (THE) as the 'Most International University in the World' for three consecutive years, CityUHK will continue to harness its powerful momentum in research and innovation, deepen cross-regional collaboration with top institutions locally and globally, actively promote the 'Study in Hong Kong' brand, and lead higher education towards new milestones."
The ARWU, published by ShanghaiRanking, is widely regarded as one of the most influential and authoritative global university rankings. Inaugurated in 2003 by the Centre for World-Class Universities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, it evaluates over 2,500 institutions worldwide annually, publishing the top 1,000 results. The evaluation is based predominantly on objective indicators of academic and research excellence, including the number of highly influential scholars, the volume of papers published and indexed in premier journals, and the per capita academic performance of the institution.
In recent years, CityUHK's academic influence has continued to grow, earning widespread recognition and achieving outstanding results across various international rankings. In the 2027 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings, published in June this year, CityUHK achieved remarkable success by jumping 11 places to 52nd globally, solidifying its position among the top 3% of universities worldwide. Notably, in the core indicator of "Citations per Faculty", the University achieved an exceptional result, ranking 2nd globally and 1st in Hong Kong. Together with the latest ARWU results, this demonstrates the top-tier academic standard of the University's faculty and research teams, as well as the tangible contribution of their innovative research to global science and societal development.

CityUHK achieves stellar results again in the ARWU, ranking 2nd in Hong Kong and maintaining its position among the global top 100
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JustMarkets, a multi-asset CFD broker, offers an installation-free WebTerminal for MT4 and MT5, giving active CFD traders flexible market access directly through their web browsers.
As access to trading platforms continues to shift towards the browser, the platform may allow CFD traders to reach the market when they are away from their primary trading desks, without software downloads or complex configurations.
Why Browser Trading Is Becoming Popular
A web terminal may remove one of the more fundamental obstacles between a CFD trader and their preferred market — installation. There is no need for a trader to download any special software, configure any devices, or install any particular operating system; rather, a trader can simply use a platform via an appropriate web browser.
This option may suit people who use different computers at work, at home, on their tablets, and elsewhere, as well as cases when installing software is impossible, inconvenient, or simply unnecessary.
For active CFD traders specifically, the potential advantages include:
- No installation required — access the platform through a browser.
- Flexibility across devices — switch devices without additional platform configuration.
- Faster connection to the market — log in through a browser to reach your account.
- Trading tools at hand — charts, indicators, orders, and positions in one place.
More Than a Basic Trading Platform
Today, web-based trading platforms do not have to offer only simple features. More advanced platforms can include real-time charts, various indicators, different order types, and the ability to control open positions.
In other words, traders can do much of what they need using a trading platform through their browsers without converting their computers into trading workstations.
The JustMarkets WebTerminal runs on this principle. It is designed for MT4 and MT5 and enables clients to access their trading accounts online without installing any additional software.
Traders can open and close their positions, interact with available charts and indicators, and log in from any internet-connected device.
Accessibility Where It Matters Most
A web terminal is not an alternative to all possible use cases of a desktop application. If a trader uses Expert Advisors, for example, they would need the desktop version of MetaTrader.
However, a web terminal could provide greater accessibility and flexibility in the trading process. These factors could be especially important for active CFD traders, since markets may move quickly.
The tendency towards web-trading platforms could be explained by a shift in demand: many traders may now expect accessibility to fit their lifestyle, rather than the other way around. In this context, JustMarkets aims to give its clients another option to make trading more convenient.
