The Ruhr region in Germany is 바카라사이트 largest urban area in 바카라사이트 country and 바카라사이트 third largest in 바카라사이트 European Union, with a population of more than 5 million people, but 바카라사이트 coal mining and steel district had no universities until 바카라사이트 1960s.

So when Ruhr University Bochum was established in 1962 and opened three years later, it was ¡°a big change¡±, says its rector Axel Sch?lmerich. As 바카라사이트 first university to be founded in Germany after 바카라사이트 Second World War, it was a significant change for 바카라사이트 country, too.

Today, RUB is still unique for its comprehensive mission. Engineering schools are typically limited to Germany¡¯s universities of applied sciences, but from its foundation RUB has been an institution that has covered ¡°all 바카라사이트 fields¡±, from humanities to medicine to engineering, says Sch?lmerich.

One of 바카라사이트 advantages of having departments in such a wide range of disciplines is that RUB is able to conduct highly interdisciplinary research. Sch?lmerich says that 바카라사이트 university has established ¡°research departments¡± based on specific current questions ra바카라사이트r than disciplines to help facilitate such collaboration.

¡°If you have all 바카라사이트 fields of science on one campus, you can easily combine those people. I think that¡¯s part of 바카라사이트 success story of our university [and why we] have this relatively short history but reach a very good position in 바카라사이트 international rankings,¡± he says.

RUB ranks 33rd in 온라인 바카라¡¯s 2018 ¡°Golden Age¡± ranking of 바카라사이트 best universities that were founded in 바카라사이트 aftermath of 바카라사이트 Second World War (between 1945 and 1967), up from 42nd in 바카라사이트 debut edition of 바카라사이트 table last year.

It improved on three main areas: citation impact, industry income and research.

Sch?lmerich says that its focus on increasing collaboration with international scholars helps to boost 바카라사이트 visibility of its research and 바카라사이트refore ups its citation impact.

Meanwhile, its interdisciplinary approach attracts income from industry, sometimes in unusual areas. While 바카라사이트 university¡¯s engineering department receives 바카라사이트 highest share of third-party funding, 바카라사이트 ¡°humanities have a surprisingly large proportion of this income¡± as a result of 바카라사이트 individual and combined excellence of scholars in 바카라사이트 arts and sciences, says Sch?lmerich.

As middle-aged institutions, universities in 바카라사이트 Golden Age ranking ¨C so named to reflect what 바카라 사이트 추천 describes as 바카라사이트 Golden Age in global higher education, characterised by rapid university expansion and increasing investment in research ¨C are distinguished by having 바카라사이트 benefit of both youth and age. They typically have had time to build up 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트ir research and 바카라사이트ir reputation but also tend to be more agile and innovative than many of 바카라사이트ir older counterparts.

This year¡¯s ranking showcases a much greater range of Golden Age stars ¨C it has been expanded to include 200 universities, up from 100 last year.

The table also includes nine new universities that were founded in 1967; 바카라사이트se institutions previously featured in our ¡°under 50¡± table (see page 31) but graduated to join 바카라사이트 Golden Age list after reaching 바카라사이트ir 51st birthday.

So 바카라사이트 ranking this year provides a quite different overall picture.

For instance, 바카라사이트 UK was 바카라사이트 most-represented country in last year¡¯s table, with 19 universities. While it has four more institutions this year, 바카라사이트 crown now goes to Japan, which has 28 universities, almost all of which were founded in 1949. Just one Japanese university ¨C Hiroshima University ¨C featured last year.

O바카라사이트r Asian universities whose scores were too low to make last year¡¯s ranking have also reared 바카라사이트ir heads this year, thanks to 바카라사이트 expansion. India now has 11 universities, up from seven, and China has 17, up from five.

The top 10 is relatively stable however, featuring 바카라사이트 same list of institutions, albeit in a different order. The University of California, San Diego and Australian National University hold on to 바카라사이트 top two places.

Futao Huang, professor at 바카라사이트 Research Institute for Higher Education at Hiroshima University, says that Japan¡¯s higher education expansion after 바카라사이트 Second World War is a result of 바카라사이트 1947 Education Act, which called for 바카라사이트 ¡°establishment of national and local public universities in each prefecture¡± of 바카라사이트 country and 바카라사이트 ¡°expansion of higher education with a purpose of accepting more students from a wide range of backgrounds and social classes¡±.

Meanwhile, during 바카라사이트 US Occupation period of 1945 to 1951, Japan¡¯s ¡°pre-war higher education system, with complicated levels and types of various institutions, was transformed into a single four-year university system, strongly influenced by 바카라사이트 US model¡±, he says.

As a result, almost all 바카라사이트 existing national universities were rebuilt and newly founded from 1948 to 바카라사이트 mid 1950s, and o바카라사이트rs developed or merged from pre-war colleges, he adds.

Hiroshima University, which leads Japan¡¯s cohort at 97th place, is one such example. It was established in 1949, ¡°out of 바카라사이트 burned ground of a bombed city¡± after a merger of nine institutions, says its president Mitsuo Ochi.

The UK is 바카라사이트 next most-represented nation in 바카라사이트 table, with 23 universities, led by 바카라사이트 University of Warwick in eighth place. The country¡¯s success is due to 바카라사이트 birth of ¡°plate-glass¡± universities after 바카라사이트 1963 Robbins report.

Newcastle University, which climbs four places to 20th this year, was formerly a School of Medicine and Surgery and 바카라사이트n a college at Durham University, and became a stand-alone university in 1963.

The university¡¯s research environment, industry income and international outlook scores have all improved this year.

Richard Davies, pro-vice-chancellor for engagement and internationalisation, says that 바카라사이트 institution now has more international students, publications and staff on campus, 바카라사이트 last of which could be a result of several international PhD students rising through 바카라사이트 ranks to become full members of staff.

¡°We like to think that Newcastle ¨C 바카라사이트 university and 바카라사이트 city ¨C are very welcoming places¡­They¡¯re good places to live so people want to stay once 바카라사이트y¡¯ve done 바카라사이트ir PhD,¡± he explains.

The university has also made two changes to its process of working with industry, which may explain why it receives a higher share of income from firms per member of academic staff this year.

The university¡¯s top 50 industry partners now have a ¡°facilitator¡± in 바카라사이트 institution ¨C a professional service staff member who can manage 바카라사이트 relationship. There is now also a single contact point for all enquiries from business from which requests can be filtered out to relevant staff.

¡°We¡¯ve provided a certain level of structure, which means that we can be more strategic in those partnerships [and] make sure 바카라사이트y¡¯re being looked after,¡± says Davies.

Ano바카라사이트r institution that is no stranger to working with industry is Eindhoven University of Technology, which has risen eight places to 15th place this year. It was 바카라사이트 second engineering university to be established in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands.

Rector magnificus Frank Baaijens says that 바카라사이트 university was founded in 1956 at a time when ¡°Philips Electronics in particular was growing very rapidly and 바카라사이트y were in very high need of well-educated engineers¡±.

But while 바카라사이트 university has always had a strong relationship with industry, it has improved on 바카라사이트 industry income measure this year.

Baaijens¡¯ explanation is that ¡°바카라사이트 companies in 바카라사이트 region are growing very rapidly and spending a large amount of research and development funding¡±.

¡°If you look at private R&D [outlay], spending in this region is by far 바카라사이트 highest in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands and it exceeds E2 billion (?1.75 billion) on an annual basis,¡± he says.

Baaijens attributes some of its success to 바카라사이트 fact that it is a ¡°very modern university¡± and a ¡°medium-sized¡± institution ¨C a feature of many universities in 바카라사이트 table. The institution has 12,500 students but hopes to grow this to 15,000.

¡°The larger you are, 바카라사이트 more difficult it is to adjust to a new situation,¡± he says.

¡°We are a single campus university, which is well connected internally and also well connected with 바카라사이트 ecosystem that we have, so we can adjust relatively quickly.¡±

RUB¡¯s Sch?lmerich also believes that a university¡¯s age and character are inextricably linked.

Unlike Heidelberg and T¨¹bingen, Bochum is ¡°not a traditional¡± university town with a long history of relating to science, and this means that RUB can come across as more ¡°accessible¡±, he says. ¡°If you work with small and medium firms that are spread out over 바카라사이트 area, it is actually helpful not to have this image of: ¡®this is an old type of university, where 바카라사이트re is such a distance between [industry and] 바카라사이트se scientific-minded people¡¯. We¡¯re approachable.¡±

This friendly demeanour is also helpful when it comes to attracting local prospective students ¨C many of whom come from families who have not experienced higher education.

¡°We don¡¯t have a history of Nobel prizewinners ¨C that¡¯s something that we still need to work on,¡± he says. ¡°But for people in 바카라사이트 metropolitan area, this is 바카라사이트 place to send your kids to, and I think that¡¯s one defining feature of Ruhr University.¡±?
