What is THE Ranking

THE University Rankings is an annual publication of university rankings by the Times Higher Education magazine. It was initially published in collaboration with Quacquarellu Symonds (QS) and was known as the Times Higher Education – QS World University Rankings until 2009 when both decided to publish their own versions.

The methodology of QS remained the same whereas THE implemented a new ranking system with Thomson Reuters to develop their chart of top universities in the world. It is one of the three most popular rankings in the world along with the QS World University Rankings and Academic Ranking of World Universities

THE Ranking Methodology

The influencers under this ranking include teaching (30%), research (30%), citation (30%), industry income (2.5%), and international outlook (7.5%). In 2022, THE evaluated 1,799 universities across 104 countries and regions. The next THE World University Ranking is expected to come out in September 2023.
