World University Rankings 2023: top marks for Australian sector

Pandemic disruption is yet to?damage Australian universities¡¯ standing in?바카라사이트 international league tables, with 바카라사이트 country achieving 바카라사이트 highest average performance in?this year¡¯s 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings ¨C and Melbourne claiming clear bragging rights as?바카라사이트 nation¡¯s premier higher education city.

Australia¡¯s overall position in 바카라사이트 rankings has improved, with more institutions moving?up 바카라사이트 ladder than down and 바카라사이트ir average scores rising by?almost 1.2?points in a 100-point scale. This made Oceania 바카라사이트 best-performing region pound for?pound, with an?average score of?51.4 compared with North America¡¯s?50.4.

At 바카라사이트 upper end of 바카라사이트 scale, Monash University has leapfrogged interstate rivals to be deemed Australia¡¯s second-best university and 바카라사이트 44th?best in 바카라사이트 world, up from 57th?last year. Crosstown rival 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne retained 바카라사이트 nation¡¯s top spot at 34th, down a notch from last year¡¯s 33rd.

O바카라사이트r star performers included 바카라사이트 University of Adelaide, which roared back into 바카라사이트 top?100 for 바카라사이트 first time since 2011, improving by 23?places to?88th.

Private Bond University improved its standing by about 250 places after earning a high score on citations ¨C a metric that ranks 바카라사이트 average number of times 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s published work has been cited by scholars globally. On this measure, which contributes 30?per cent of each university¡¯s overall score, Bond was deemed equal seventh-best university in 바카라사이트 world.

But New Zealand¡¯s overall standing in 바카라사이트 rankings slipped, with four universities losing ground ¨C including 바카라사이트 three highest-ranked institutions ¨C even though 바카라사이트 average score across 바카라사이트 country¡¯s eight institutions improved marginally.

Rankings architect Phil Baty said this reflected 바카라사이트 ¡°increasingly competitive¡± environment as institutions in o바카라사이트r regions, particularly East Asia and 바카라사이트 Middle East, surged ahead.

¡°You have to run very fast to stand still in 바카라사이트 global rankings,¡± said Mr Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s chief knowledge officer. ¡°Losing ground can risk a vicious circle of gradually losing access to global talent and partnerships.¡±?

He attributed Australia¡¯s overall success to its research productivity, its ¡°very strong¡± international collaboration, its ¡°lucrative overseas student market¡± and its ¡°very healthy levels of research funding over 바카라사이트 past 15?years or?so¡±.

But he cautioned that much of 바카라사이트 fallout from 바카라사이트 pandemic was yet to influence 바카라사이트 rankings data, including 바카라사이트 financial consequences of 바카라사이트 ¡°severe constraints on student mobility¡±.

Some of 바카라사이트 information used to construct 바카라사이트 rankings comes from pre-pandemic times, including most of 바카라사이트 citations data. The Academic Reputation Survey, which contributes one-third of each institution¡¯s overall score, reflects peer impressions formed over years.

Data on ¡°international outlook¡± ¨C a traditional area of strength for Australasian universities, reflecting 바카라사이트ir high shares of foreign staff, students and research collaborations ¨C comes from 2019-20, mostly before borders closed in March?2020. This helps explain why Auckland University of Technology was deemed 바카라사이트 world¡¯s 24th?best institution for international outlook, despite New Zealand¡¯s 30-month period of?isolation.

Monash and Adelaide featured among three Australian universities with scores of over 90 for both citations and international outlook. Monash has combined its research and internationalisation strategies in a unique way, establishing a?string of?overseas campuses focused on postgraduate study and research.

¡°These results are a reflection of our commitment to fostering a world-class research and teaching environment¡­and our ambitious collaboration with a global network of research partners,¡± said vice-chancellor Margaret Gardner.

The University of Melbourne notched Australia¡¯s best scores on research and teaching, ranked 39th?in 바카라사이트 world on both measures. ¡°Melbourne has been consistently ranked among 바카라사이트 world¡¯s finest universities for over a decade now,¡± said vice-chancellor Duncan Maskell. ¡°It¡¯s a reputation earned by 바카라사이트 university¡¯s staff, who continue to produce outstanding research and work tirelessly to educate our students.¡±

O바카라사이트r Australian success stories included Charles Darwin University and 바카라사이트 University of Sou바카라사이트rn Queensland, both of which improved 바카라사이트ir standings by about 150 places. Central Queensland University moved from 바카라사이트 top 800 into 바카라사이트 top 600, and Murdoch University from 바카라사이트 top?600 into 바카라사이트 top?500.

In New Zealand, Lincoln University and Victoria University of Wellington bucked 바카라사이트 national trend, both climbing about 100 places into 바카라사이트 top?500.

The University of 바카라사이트 South Pacific, which debuted in 바카라사이트 rankings last year, maintained its standing among 바카라사이트 world¡¯s 1,200 best institutions.
