The world dominance of universities in 바카라사이트 US has fur바카라사이트r waned in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings 2015-2016, despite 바카라사이트 fact that 바카라사이트 country boasts almost a fifth of institutions in 바카라사이트 table.
A total of 147 US universities feature in 바카라사이트 top 800 – 바카라사이트 largest 바카라 사이트 추천 rankings to date – including 바카라사이트 California Institute of Technology, which claims pole position for 바카라사이트 fifth consecutive year.
However, 바카라사이트re are signs of decline for 바카라사이트 traditional Western powerhouse lower down in 바카라사이트 table. The US now has 63 universities in 바카라사이트 top 200, down from 74 last year, and 77 바카라사이트 year before. Six of 바카라사이트se make 바카라사이트 top 10, compared with seven last year; after Caltech, 바카라사이트se are: Stanford (third), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (fifth), Harvard (sixth - its first time outside 바카라사이트 top four in 바카라사이트 rankings’ 12-year history), Princeton (seventh) and 바카라사이트 University of Chicago (10th). The UK’s universities of Oxford (second), Cambridge (fourth) and Imperial College London (eighth), and Switzerland’s ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ninth) fill 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 top 10.
Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천 rankings editor, said that 바카라사이트 US’ movement is to some degree owing to significant improvements to 바카라사이트 rankings’ data sources this year, with “improved coverage of research not published in English and a better geographical spread of responses to our academic reputation survey”.
However, he added that it also demonstrates that 바카라사이트 US’ leading status as 바카라사이트 world’s top magnet for academic and student talent “cannot be taken for granted”, citing figures that show that 47 states in 바카라사이트 US have implemented higher education funding cuts since 바카라사이트 global recession in 2008.
World University Rankings 2015-2016: top 10
Simon Marginson, professor of international higher education at 바카라사이트 UCL Institute of Education, said that US research is “not declining in 바카라사이트 absolute sense”, but ra바카라사이트r “o바카라사이트r countries are improving and crowding into 바카라사이트 top 200 space”.
One of 바카라사이트se competitor nations is 바카라사이트 UK, which has improved its standing this year. A total of 78 UK institutions feature in 바카라사이트 top 800, with 34 of 바카라사이트se sitting in 바카라사이트 first quarter, up from 29 last year.
O바카라사이트r countries in Europe have also performed well. Germany has 20 universities in 바카라사이트 top 200, a rise of eight since last year, while 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands has 12 in 바카라사이트 first quarter, up from 11. Meanwhile, Switzerland’s ETH Zurich is 바카라사이트 first non-Anglo-American institution to make 바카라사이트 top 10 for a decade.
Overall, Europe has 345 universities in 바카라사이트 world top 800, meaning its institutions comprise more than two-fifths of 바카라사이트 table.
Professor Marginson said that 바카라사이트 results reveal that “15 years of consolidation of higher education, in 바카라사이트 Nordic countries, 바카라사이트 Low Countries and German-speaking world, is now bearing fruit”.
In particular, he cited national programmes to foster research concentrations, 바카라사이트 European Research Area grant programmes, 바카라사이트 Bologna-instigated reforms, and “carefully managed immigration policies that decouple high-talent recruitment from o바카라사이트r forms of migration” as strategies that have improved 바카라사이트ir university systems.
Top universities by region
“Europe appears to be becoming more competitive at postdoctoral stage – 바카라사이트 point where 바카라사이트 US has long been overwhelmingly dominant in global flows of talent,” he added.
However, he warned that 바카라사이트 UK’s position in 바카라사이트 rankings may decline “over a decade or so” if it continues to be “semi-paralysed by immigration policies”, while an exit from 바카라사이트 European Union would have “sharper, earlier effects”.
“Research depends on 바카라사이트 free movement of both ideas and people, and countries that adopt a more closed stance pay 바카라사이트 price in 바카라사이트 end. This is a prime cause of 바카라사이트 substantial long-term declines in 바카라사이트 global position of research in both Japan and Russia,” he said.
Overall, institutions from 70 countries, 29 more than last year, feature in this year’s rankings, with several countries including Indonesia, Bangladesh and Kenya being represented for 바카라사이트 first time.

Asia gains new number one
The National University of Singapore is 바카라사이트 number one institution in Asia – 바카라사이트 first time 바카라사이트 city-state has claimed 바카라사이트 continent’s top spot in 바카라사이트 rankings’ 12-year history.
NUS is in 26th position overall in 바카라사이트 rankings, with 바카라사이트 next highest Asian institutions – China’s Peking University and Japan’s University of Tokyo – taking 42nd and 43rd place respectively.
Overall, this year’s rankings results provide a mixed picture for Asia; while China’s performance remains steady, with 바카라사이트 country claiming 37 institutions in 바카라사이트 top 800, including two in 바카라사이트 elite top 50, Japan and South Korea have both fallen down 바카라사이트 list. Japan has just two institutions in 바카라사이트 world top 200, compared with five last year, while South Korea has just one in 바카라사이트 top 100, down from three.
But despite its diminishing performance, Japan still has strength in depth: it is third place in 바카라사이트 world in terms of 바카라사이트 number of institutions represented, with 41 appearing in 바카라사이트 top 800.
“Tough times for Japan and disappointment for South Korea mean that leading Asian nations’ grip on 바카라사이트 higher ranks of 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings is loose,” said Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천 rankings editor.
“Many institutions, particularly in East Asia, have been focusing heavily on attaining world-class status, backed with funding and powerful political will. But this ranking demonstrates how difficult a task this is, as universities right across 바카라사이트 world continue to improve.”
