Times Higher Education World University Rankings
Check how your university fares on the global map
We know it can be overwhelming to shortlist the right university from a pool of options available. Considering that you need to look at several indicators before settling on your final list, it is a good idea to refer to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings of your preferred university or institution.
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 the THE ranking include teaching (29.5%), research (29%), citation (15%), industry income (4%), and international outlook (7.5%). * In 2023, THE evaluated 1,904 universities across 108 countries and regions. The next THE World University Ranking is expected to come out in September 2025.
