The Times Higher Education global ranking employs 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators to rank the top Universities of the world, which reflect research (worth 30 percent of a school’s overall ranking score), teaching (30 percent), citations (30 percent), international outlook (which includes the total numbers of international students and faculty and the ratio of scholarly papers with international collaborators, 7.5 percent), and industry income (a measure of innovation, 2.5 percent.
Separate rankings by continent (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America) and subject (Arts & Humanities, Clinical, Pre-Clinical & Health, Engineering & Technology, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences) have also been made and can be seen on the website.
