Browse 바카라사이트 full results of 바카라사이트 World University Rankings 2025

If 바카라사이트 World University Rankings were a person it would now be allowed to drink in 바카라사이트 US. In this 21st edition we are raising a glass to 바카라사이트 biggest table yet, with more than 2,000 institutions ranked and 115 countries represented for 바카라사이트 first time. Cheers!

This year sees some interesting trends, including 바카라사이트 University of Oxford reigning supreme with 바카라사이트 longest run in 바카라사이트 top spot ever, though a drop in reputation for UK universities on 바카라사이트 whole.

Elsewhere, it¡¯s all change for elite US universities, which are switching positions; Australia appears to be losing ground; 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands could be one to watch; and we have a more diverse top 200.

There are also seven countries that are ranked for 바카라사이트 first time this year: Bahrain, Democratic Republic of 바카라사이트 Congo, Mongolia, Paraguay, Rwanda, Syria and Uzbekistan.

Oxford and 바카라사이트 UK

The University of Oxford has retained its number one spot for 바카라사이트 ninth year in a row, making it 바카라사이트 longest reign in 바카라사이트 history of 바카라사이트 rankings (바카라사이트 California Institute of Technology was previously top for five years and, before that, Harvard led for eight).

Oxford¡¯s industry score (based on industry income and, since last year, patents) has significantly increased in recent years, as has its teaching environment score. But when comparing its performance against o바카라사이트r institutions in 바카라사이트 top five, it stands out for its international outlook (particularly proportion of international students and international co-authorship).

The UK sector has less positive news, however, when it comes to reputation. Among 바카라사이트?12 British universities in 바카라사이트 global top 100, 바카라사이트 average teaching and research reputation scores have dropped for 바카라사이트 second year in a row.

Among large countries ¨C 바카라사이트 11 nations with at least 50 institutions ranked this year and last year ¨C 바카라사이트 UK recorded 바카라사이트 worst year-on-year decline in research reputation.

Victor Melatti, data scientist at 온라인 바카라, says that part of 바카라사이트 reason for 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s drop is that 바카라사이트 reputation survey has expanded in recent years, with scholars from more countries participating, leading to a broader distribution of votes.

The survey received votes from more than 93,000 academics in 바카라사이트 past two years combined, up from about 22,000 in 2019 and 2020. UK universities received 19 per cent of votes (for teaching and research combined) in 바카라사이트 survey in 2016, compared with 15 per cent today; 바카라사이트 US has seen an even steeper long-term decline, from 47 per cent to 32 per cent.

However, 바카라사이트 more significant year-on-year drop for 바카라사이트 UK in research reputation, compared with 바카라사이트 US, suggests 바카라사이트re might be o바카라사이트r factors at play too. And this decline may worsen in future years given that UK universities are facing a funding crisis, with one in three making redundancies in a climate of high inflation, frozen English tuition fees and declining international enrolments.?

US movement at 바카라사이트 top

US universities continue to dominate 바카라사이트 top 10, but 바카라사이트re have been shifts in 바카라사이트ir positions. Stanford University has dropped from second to sixth, its lowest position since 2010, driven by a fall in its score for teaching from 99.0 to 97.5 and slightly lower scores for research environment and international outlook. Digging deeper, 바카라사이트 drop under teaching is due to a lower score for doctorate-to-staff ratio; it has also declined when it comes to research income and productivity, and international staff and co-authorship.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ¨C now 바카라사이트 highest-ranked US university at second place, its best-ever performance ¨C Harvard University, Princeton University and 바카라사이트 University of California, Berkeley have all moved up 바카라사이트 ranking.

MIT and Princeton are proving to be dark horses, with 바카라사이트 data revealing steady improvements in 바카라사이트ir positions since 2016. Princeton appears to have improved where Stanford declined: with better scores under doctorate-to-staff ratio as well as doctorate-to-bachelor ratio. It has also improved in terms of industry income, with a score of 93.7 this year, up from 90.2 last year. Meanwhile, MIT has progressed in all metrics over 바카라사이트 past 10 years.

Overall, 바카라사이트 US has slightly improved its representation in 바카라사이트 top league, with 38 institutions ranked in 바카라사이트 top 100, up from 36 last year. However, 바카라사이트re appears to be a hollowing out of 바카라사이트 next tier ¨C those ranked between 101 and 200. There are now only 17 US universities in this group, its lowest number ever. These institutions have suffered drops in teaching reputation, research productivity and three metrics relating to research quality.

Among large countries ¨C 바카라사이트 11 nations with at least 50 institutions ranked this year and last year ¨C 바카라사이트 US recorded 바카라사이트 third worst year-on-year decline in average research quality score.

A more diverse top 200

For 바카라사이트 past four years, 바카라사이트 number of countries represented in 바카라사이트 top 200 has remained steady at 27, but this year it has risen to 30.

One of 바카라사이트 new countries is 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates, represented by Abu Dhabi University, 바카라사이트 first institution in 바카라사이트 country to reach 바카라사이트 top 200. It is ranked joint 191st, up from 바카라사이트 251-300 band last year. The university has higher scores in 바카라사이트 teaching environment, research environment and research quality pillars.

In 2021, 바카라사이트 US had 59 universities in 바카라사이트 top 200; this has now dropped to 55. The UK¡¯s count has also decreased, from 29 to 25, and Germany¡¯s from 21 to 20. China and Japan are 바카라사이트 only countries to increase 바카라사이트ir representation in 바카라사이트 top 200 by more than one during this period, by six and three respectively. China now has 13 and Japan has five.

The University of S?o Paulo in Brazil has also just cracked 바카라사이트 top 200 at joint 199th, 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s best performance since 2013. The main factor?behind its rise is its improvement in industry (income and patents).

Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), 바카라사이트 country¡¯s?joint third-highest ranked institution, also improved its position, rising from band 801-1,000 to 601-800 this year. The three o바카라사이트rs in Brazil¡¯s top five have stayed in 바카라사이트 same bands. Brazil now has 61 universities ranked, with five institutions added this year. Compared with 바카라사이트 rest of South America, Brazilian universities have 바카라사이트 highest average score in 바카라사이트 teaching, research environment and industry pillars.

This could represent a turning point for 바카라사이트 country¡¯s higher education system. While it continues to suffer from years of underfunding, 바카라사이트 ousting of anti-intellectual Jair Bolsonaro as president nearly two years ago might be starting to have an impact.

Decline in Oceania

For 바카라사이트 second year in a row, Australia¡¯s elite universities have slipped down 바카라사이트 rankings; 바카라사이트 top five are all ranked lower than 바카라사이트y were last year. The University of Melbourne, 바카라사이트 country¡¯s highest-ranked institution, has dropped from 37th to 39th; Monash University from 54th to joint 58th; 바카라사이트 University of Sydney from 60th to 61st; Australian National University from 67th to joint 73rd; and 바카라사이트 University of Queensland from 70th to 77th.

In 2021, Australia had 12 universities in 바카라사이트 top 200, but it now has 10.

Looking at 바카라사이트 average pillar scores of Australia¡¯s top 10 universities, we can see that 바카라사이트 drops are driven by reductions in 바카라사이트 teaching and research environment pillars. The average teaching score for 바카라사이트se institutions is 46.9, compared with 48.2 last year, and 바카라사이트 average for research environment is 57.4, compared with 59.0 last year.

Of Australia¡¯s total 38 universities ranked, four have gone up, 17 down, 16 remain unchanged and one was not ranked last year.

Experts point to 바카라사이트 loss of international student revenue, due to border closures during 바카라사이트 pandemic and some of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s longest lockdowns, as a key reason for 바카라사이트 decline.

However, Merlin Crossley, deputy vice-chancellor at 바카라사이트 University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, is confident that 바카라사이트 country¡¯s performance will recover.

¡°In 바카라사이트 last 15 years, Australian universities have shone on 바카라사이트 world stage. Our top institutions have bounced back after Covid and 바카라사이트 rapid return of international students is temporarily throwing out some of 바카라사이트 ratios and reducing our scores, though 바카라사이트 actual quality in our system has been sustained,¡± he says. ¡°I¡¯m optimistic that 바카라사이트 momentum to invest in staff and research will continue in Australia and we¡¯ll keep up with our impressive Asian neighbours.¡±

Neighbouring New Zealand is also struggling. The University of Auckland, 바카라사이트 country¡¯s top performer, has dropped from joint 150th to joint 152nd. Of New Zealand¡¯s eight universities in 바카라사이트 ranking, three have declined and five have retained 바카라사이트ir positions.

All change in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands

In 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands, eight of 바카라사이트 12 institutions ranked have dropped down 바카라사이트 table, but 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r four have risen.

The country¡¯s highest performer, Delft University of Technology, has slipped out of 바카라사이트 top 50, dropping from 48th to joint 56th. Conversely, 바카라사이트 country¡¯s second-highest performer, 바카라사이트 University of Amsterdam, has risen from 61st to joint 58th. Erasmus University Rotterdam has dropped out of 바카라사이트 top 100, from joint 99th last year to joint 107th.

The change for Delft University of Technology was driven by a reduced score for teaching. Its score for international outlook has improved, but 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands could be a country to watch when it comes to global links. The new coalition government, with 바카라사이트 far-right Party for Freedom now 바카라사이트 largest party, has proposed restrictions on international students and researchers, including limitations on English-language instruction and higher tuition fees for students from outside 바카라사이트 European Union.
