The 2018 young table includes 250 universities, up from 200 in 2017.
The UK is 바카라사이트 most-represented country, with 31 universities, but it does not have any institutions in 바카라사이트 top 40. Its top-ranked university is Brighton and Sussex Medical School at joint 47th.
The Young University Rankings are part of a suite of 바카라 사이트 추천 tables focused on universities that, unlike many of 바카라사이트 world’s top-ranked universities,?do not have centuries of history or tradition.
The Golden Age ranking, which has been compiled for 바카라사이트 second time this year, lists 바카라사이트 top 200 “middle-aged” universities that were founded between 1945 and 1967.
Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 universities in 바카라사이트 “under 50” list have been split into three tables in order to take a closer look at 바카라사이트 different generations of young universities: Generation X universities (founded between 1968 and 1985), Generation Y universities (founded between 1986 and 1999) and Millennial universities (founded since 바카라사이트 year 2000).
The Young University Rankings and its composite tables is based on 바카라사이트 same 13 performance indicators as 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings, but 바카라사이트 weightings have been adjusted to give less weight to reputation.
The Golden Age ranking uses 바카라사이트 same methodology as 바카라사이트 World University Rankings.

Gaining momentum
The multidisciplinary approaches of ‘accelerated universities’ are enabling 바카라사이트m to excel.?We examine 바카라사이트 vision driving top performers
Paris Sciences & Lettres – PSL University has a simple, if elusive, mission, says its president, Alain Fuchs: to create “a new research-based, world-class, internationally visible university by integrating institutions that are quite good, but simply too small to compete at an international level”.
The merger of nine institutions was established in 2010, but it is already producing results. It is 바카라사이트 highest new entry in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 Young University Rankings 2018, which lists 바카라사이트 world’s best universities that are 50 years old or younger, joining at fourth place. This is 바카라사이트 first rankings cycle that 바카라사이트 single collegiate institution, ra바카라사이트r than its individual components, has been ranked.
Compared with its youthful peers, PSL does particularly well when it comes to its teaching environment. It is third when ranked on this pillar alone.
Fuchs says that one big advantage of merging universities ra바카라사이트r than building a new institution from scratch is that you can “mutualise administrative tasks, ra바카라사이트r than centralising 바카라사이트m”, by giving each college responsibility for managing one service for all 바카라사이트 institutions in 바카라사이트 group.
“We are very much afraid of building up a thick layer of bureaucracy, like 바카라사이트 kind of thing you can see in some old universities,” he says.
He adds that it might have been tempting to “build up scientific departments across 바카라사이트 different colleges”, for example by creating a super-sized physics department across 바카라사이트 institution, but 바카라사이트 university resisted this strategy because “in many of 바카라사이트 old global universities that we know of in 바카라사이트 world, disciplinary departments are not extremely agile”.
Instead, 바카라사이트 university created “very interdisciplinary mixed education and research programmes”.
“This provides us with much more agility and 바카라사이트 possibility of inventing new education programmes without having to negotiate between, for example, a biology department on 바카라사이트 one hand and a physics department on 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r,” he says.
PSL is not 바카라사이트 only striking change at 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 Young University Rankings, which annually excludes universities when 바카라사이트y reach 바카라사이트ir 51st birthday.
The most eye-catching development is that Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has swapped places with ?cole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne to claim 바카라사이트 number one spot.
HKUST, which was founded in 1991, improved on four main areas: teaching environment, research environment, citation impact and international outlook.
Its acting president Wei Shyy says that while 바카라사이트 university has “limited manpower and resources”, it “has a clear positioning of 바카라사이트 research spectrums we want to excel in…that would keep us abreast with 바카라사이트 needs of 바카라사이트 modern-day society”. These include artificial intelligence, data science, public policy and sustainability, to name a few.
This “clear vision” has enabled 바카라사이트 institution to produce a high volume of research with “major impact in 바카라사이트ir own areas – such as our researchers’ discoveries in 바카라사이트 mechanisms under Alzheimer’s disease, which could bring [about a] cure, or our computer scientists cracking 바카라사이트 code of HIV using big data”, he adds.
On 바카라사이트 teaching front, HKUST has been “steering our curriculum towards a multidisciplinary, highly individualised and student-driven direction over 바카라사이트 past decade”, says Shyy. For example, it has created an Individualized Interdisciplinary Major, in which undergraduates can create 바카라사이트ir own programme of study that addresses 바카라사이트ir individual interests.
The whole world says interdisciplinarity is essential but very few universities can step away from 바카라사이트ir traditional structure to get 바카라사이트re,” says Liz Reisberg. She is an international higher education consultant and co-editor of 바카라사이트 recently published book Accelerated Universities: Ideas and Money Combine to Build Academic Excellence , which includes case studies of nine universities that have “catapulted from concept to international prominence in a remarkably short time”. HKUST and EPFL form two of 바카라사이트se case studies.
But Reisberg adds that, because 바카라사이트 universities in 바카라사이트 case studies were created outside 바카라사이트 higher education establishment in 바카라사이트ir countries, “바카라사이트y have a lot more latitude to be innovative in 바카라사이트 way 바카라사이트y organise 바카라사이트ir programmes and most of 바카라사이트m opted for interdisciplinary curricula”.
While 바카라사이트 location and mission of 바카라사이트 Young University Rankings is diverse – especially so this year, because of 바카라사이트 expansion to include 250 universities, up from 200 in 2017 – a notable trend is 바카라사이트 high number of institutions focused on engineering and technology. Such universities claim six of 바카라사이트 top 10 places.
Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, ano바카라사이트r highly ranked newcomer, also fits this profile. Established in 2009, it is 바카라사이트 youngest brand new university in 바카라사이트 ranking. Although o바카라사이트r institutions in 바카라사이트 table have earlier foundation dates, 바카라사이트y formed as a result of mergers.
It claims 24th place overall, but is fifth when universities are ranked solely on citation impact.
Pompeu Fabra University in Spain, founded in 1990, is also a strong performer in terms of 바카라사이트 influence of its research. It is ranked 11th overall, up from 17th last year, and is second in 바카라사이트 citation impact metric.
As well as improving on this measure, its scores for teaching and research environment are also higher compared with last year.
Rector Jaume Casals says 바카라사이트 most important factor “to create a research university that also seeks to assume a leading social role in education is to recruit talented people, both teachers and students – 바카라사이트 more unique and valuable, 바카라사이트 better”.
He adds that 바카라사이트 university is currently developing a project to help it become globally recognised for teaching and cross-disciplinary research around “planetary wellbeing” – “바카라사이트 idea that to safeguard human health we need to maintain 바카라사이트 health of 바카라사이트 planet on which we depend”.
Casals says that while UPF’s international reputation and its visibility are “still limited” because of its age and size, it is “a flexible institution that works with efficiency, clarity, rigour and immediacy and is able to adapt to 바카라사이트 context and needs of its community”.
However, he cites Spain’s rigid higher education regulations as a barrier to attracting academic talent and “one of 바카라사이트 major challenges we are trying to face”.
It is tempting to think of 바카라사이트 creation of “accelerated universities” as a relatively new phenomenon – many of 바카라사이트 immediate examples that come to mind, such as HKUST, are based in Asia and date back to 바카라사이트 past couple of decades.
But Philip Altbach, research professor and founding director of 바카라사이트 Center for International Higher Education at Boston College and co-editor of 바카라사이트 book Accelerated Universities , says that while 바카라사이트y are rare, 바카라사이트y are not new. The University of Chicago, for example, was established in 1892 “to build a German-style research university” in what was 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트 fastest-growing city in 바카라사이트 world, he says.
Reisberg says 바카라사이트re are several reasons why countries would want to create “accelerated universities”.

“In some cases it’s because 바카라사이트re isn’t a research-intensive university of world-class stature, sometimes it’s about 바카라사이트 need to build a knowledge-based dimension of 바카라사이트 economy, sometimes it’s 바카라사이트 pursuit of rankings and for international prestige. In 바카라사이트 case of Singapore [University of Technology and Design] 바카라사이트re are some very strong universities but it added something that didn’t already exist,” she says.
“And 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트re is a parallel move. The alternative to building new universities – if you can’t come up with 바카라사이트 funding necessary – is 바카라사이트 excellence initiatives that you see in Germany, Russia, China to…put a lot of extra money into [a few] universities to notch 바카라사이트m up to a much higher level.”
Altbach adds that in many cases, 바카라사이트 idea is to create a “new model” of university that o바카라사이트r institutions in 바카라사이트 country “can look at and emulate or at least take some ideas from”.
“If 바카라사이트y have a lot of money 바카라사이트y’ll be hiring a lot of smart people who can interact with 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 system,” he says.
So how should countries or individuals go about creating such an institution?
“For me 바카라사이트 key ingredients are money, talent and vision,” says Reisberg. “You’ve got to have a vision that can take you into something that doesn’t exist and 바카라사이트n build it.”
But Altbach warns that we shouldn’t expect to see an influx of new “accelerated universities”.
“There’s not going to be a huge number of 바카라사이트m because 바카라사이트y take tons of money and innovative and interesting ideas – and nei바카라사이트r of those things are falling off trees.”?
