The Times Higher Education World University Rankings were
developed in concert with our rankings data provider, Thomson Reuters,
with expert input from more than 50 leading figures in the sector from
15 countries across every continent. We believe we have created the gold
standard in international university performance comparisons.
Our rankings of the top universities across the globe employ 13
separate performance indicators designed to capture the full range of
university activities, from teaching to research to knowledge transfer.
These 13 elements are brought together into five headline categories,
which are:
- Teaching — the learning environment (worth 30 per cent of the overall ranking score)
- Research — volume, income and reputation (worth 30 per cent)
- Citations — research influence (worth 30 per cent)
- Industry income — innovation (worth 2.5 per cent)
- International outlook — staff, students and research (worth 7.5 per cent).
The overall world top 200 rankings, the banded lists of a further
200 "best of the rest" universities, and the six tables showing the top
50 institutions by subject are based on criteria and weightings that
were carefully selected after extensive consultation. We recognise that
different users have different priorities, so to allow everyone to make
the most of our exceptionally rich data and gain a personalised view of
global higher education, the tables on this site can be manipulated.
Users can rank institutions by their performance in any one of the five
broad headline categories to create bespoke tables or make regional
comparisons via our area analyses.
