Which are the top Universities in Australia in 2020?

As per the QS World University Rankings 2020, Australian National University (ANU) still remains the top University in Australia despite falling five sports globally. 

Five of the 35 Australian Universities which were ranked this year have fallen in rank including ANU. Despite that, Australian Universities, in general, have made an excellent improvement. 

Here is a look at the top 10 Universities of Australia in 2020:
