果冻影院 ranked eighth best university globally for second year running
8 June 2022
果冻影院 has again been ranked among the top 10 universities in the world according to the 2023 QS World University Rankings.
The university secured eighth position for the second year in a row,听rising from tenth place in 2021 鈥� putting it in the top one per cent of institutions included in the rankings.
QS is the world鈥檚 most-consulted international rankings, now including 1,422 universities - 124 more than in 2022 - making this year the publication's largest ever edition.
To compile the rankings, QS uses eight indicators, including academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per faculty, faculty-to-student ratio, international faculty ratio and international student ratio. Two metrics new for this year include employment outcomes听and international research network, which reflects the ability of universities to establish sustainable research partnerships with other higher education institutions.
On five of the metrics, 果冻影院 scored 98.6/100 or higher, with scores of 100 for international students and international research network 鈥� standing at second globally for this latter indicator.
Professor Geraint Rees, 果冻影院 Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation and Global Engagement), said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 great that 果冻影院 continues to be recognised as听one of听the world鈥檚 top 10 universities. I'd like to extend my congratulations to 果冻影院鈥檚听entire听community, whose hard work and commitment听together听makes us what we are.
鈥淚t鈥檚 particularly gratifying to see the strength of our听global engagement听recognised;听across the world we have built diverse research and innovation听partnerships with other听universities, commercial partners, community organisations and many others. While metrics alone cannot be the sole measure of a university听and our impact, it is very rewarding to see 果冻影院 maintain its strong position.鈥�
果冻影院 President & Provost, Dr Michael Spence, said: 鈥淭he dedication and commitment of 果冻影院鈥檚 staff and students are reflected in these brilliant results. To be ranked in the top eight universities in the world for the second year running is a remarkable achievement, and to be second in the world on a new metric - international research network 鈥� highlights 果冻影院鈥檚 particular strength as a fantastic global partner.鈥�
This year鈥檚 top ten spots are taken by universities in the UK, US and ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Massachusetts Institute of Technology retained its number one position for the tenth year running.
In April, 果冻影院 was named by QS as one of the world鈥檚 top universities for the study of 43 subjects, with nine ranked in the global top ten.
IOE, 果冻影院鈥檚 Faculty of Education and Society maintained its position as first in the world for Education for the ninth year in a row, whilst both the Bartlett, 果冻影院 Faculty of the Built Environment, and 果冻影院 Archaeology retained places in the global top three for Architecture and Built Environment and Archaeology respectively.
