I don't know how many universities there are in Ivy league.. I know there's Oxbridge in UK..

But I reckon that Xiamen can be said to be almost on the same par as the top two in China, Qinghua and Beijing universities. No idea when these two are expanding their influence overseas though.

Ok.. just wondering if anyone is interested in doing research in audio software engineering? If you need candidates for research, I can volunteer.

What kind of postgrad you're doing now? 

  Going to jiaotong, but not shanghai.

can speak & read Chinese or not 1st?

hows the fee compared to UTARC?

Xiamen Uni rank 10 to 15 in China, but still very good compare to local uni.

Just to correct some misconceptions from other posts in this thread:
1. Lecturing staff in XMU is 80% Malaysian, 20% from the parent campus. However, this doesn't mean the 20% is Chinese - quite a few ang mohs etc. It's part of their aspirations to be an international campus.
2. Facilities are top notch (in comparison to other private universities in Malaysia, local universities still win hands down).
3. First batch of students included a large group of sponsored students from their China campus to provide competition to the locals who are signing up. Many of these students are the cream of the crop in their program, making the environment in XMU fairly competitive.
4. Language of instruction in all courses is English.
5. They have an active research program - lecturers are given a choice of either a research or teaching track with sufficient funding to pursue their interests.
